As a visitor, here are some of my fave restaurants:-Sun Street Breads (went there for the first time a few months ago for brunch, it was fantastic)-Quang Restaurant (Vietnamese)-Midtown Global Market (lots of different stalls)-Maria's Cafe (breakfast, Colombian)-Tiny Diner

21st is a thursday, so free entry @ walker art center.
if it's nice outside you could visit minnehaha falls or walk across the stone arch bridge.
the book house is the used book store in dinkytown. while you're in the area you can see if you can get a seat at al's diner.
all of the best vietnamese food is across the river in st. paul. my favorites in mpls are vo's (tiki, cozy) and pho 79 (dive).
check eagles 34 and cedar cultural center for music and dancing. check the trylon for films.

Another advantage of visiting the Walker or MIA on Thursday is that they're open later in the evening (last I knew the Walker was only free after 5 PM).
If you venture out to St. Paul and On's Thai Kitchen, Midway Books is a block or so down University and is a pretty big/comprehensive used bookstore.

Thanks for the Walker Art Center recommendation--I may be going there this Thursday (depending on what if anything my mother wants to do). If you see a woman in a black velvet beret, it's probably me.
