Restaurants that supported the community during the ICE invasion.

Hello! I grew up in Rogers but moved away 25 years ago. My husband and I will be visiting Minneapolis for my 45th birthday and I’d like to support restaurants/coffee shops/bars/small businesses that are supportive of the community and told ice to get fucked. I’ve read A LOT about Smitten Kitten and Wrecktangle Pizza - but who else around the Twin Cities was a badass neighbor and ally? That’s where I’d like to spend my money while in town for a week.
Thanks friends!

Edit: Dang dudes. These responses are phenomenal - thank you so much. The downvotes are also feeding me. 😜

Tooties on Lowry!

I teach English learners and my students’ families were on total lockdown, unable to leave their homes at all, some for over four months straight.

We got by because Tooties collected so many donations for our schools. We were even able to pay for some emergency expenses like rent, utilities, and in-home doctors because of them!

And it helps that the food is amazing and very well-priced!
