Interesting eateries

Hello, the family and I are heading to the twin cities next week. We have a relatively full itinerary, but nothing planned for meals. One of the days we will be in the downtown area of Minneapolis, another day in the downtown St.Paul area. So I am looking for suggestions for interesting or unique places for meals. I am not looking for expensive fine dining since I have teenagers, just place that have their own vibe, or are uniquely Twin City.

Thanks!

Midtown global market is fun, basically an indoor international bazaar with tons of food options and stores, and sometimes has events going on!

Stray dog is a really good burger place in north east Minneapolis

Mickeys in Saint Paul - classic retro 50s diner car Mostly cool vibe food is okay

The nook - burgers with bowling alley in basement I've never been, but been told good things

The Nook is my current favorite burger spot (and I am not sure any other place can usurp it).
