Birding in the Twin Cities: Minneapolis and St. Paul

Our editors and experts handpick every product we feature. We may earn a commission from your purchases. The Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, is a wonderful birding destination because this urban area is on one of the four migratory flyways in the United States. “We have over 400 birds that come through Minnesota,” says Monica Bryand, founder and executive director of Urban Bird Collective. “We are one of the biggest flyways for the migration, so there is great birding here.”

Inside Minnesota’s Enduring Polka Heritage

With drums pounding and accordions wailing, there’s no mistaking a polka dance: The music is loud, lively, and positively old-school. While the sound has become harder to find in 2026, the polka scene remains very much active in Minnesota, home to the “Polka Capital of the Nation,” events hosted by the Midwest Polka Association, and local bands keeping the tradition alive.

Bargain Bites: Burger Mondays at A-Side Public House

Kyle here. It's not unheard of to pay $12 for a beer — so when I heard St. Paul's A-Side Public House will also toss in a burger and fries for that price, I was there. Dig in: Axios reader Brittany flagged me to A-Side's Burger Monday deal, which comes with any craft beer on the menu — normally an $8 value. This was no cheap lager; I drank a hazy IPA. What to expect: A perfectly decent, single-patty burger — complete with a buttered bun and a tangy sauce — and a generous portion of crispy, fluffy fries. Not bad for, effectively, four extra bucks (before tax and tip). Plus: A-Side also offers a "kids eat free" deal on Sunday nights, Brittany notes. 📣 Know a good meal deal/steal we should feature in the newsletter? Let us know at twincities@axios.com.
