LYN-LAKE

The intersection of Lyndale Avenue and Lake Street in south Minneapolis pulses with energy day and night. This historic intersection developed in the late 1800s as the expansion of early transportation modes reached out from Downtown. Unlike its neighbor to the west, Uptown, Lyn-Lake has managed to continue its vibrant independents in relative privacy from national corporations.

Entertainment options like the Jungle Theater, Bryant Lake Bowl and Theater, and Pangea World Theater have provided the Lyn-Lake community with unique options to enjoy their night (or day). Buzzing late into the night, restaurants ranging from the brew-pup Herkimer, sushi-purveyor Fuji Ya, to It's Greek to Me with its remarkable patio can satisfy any mood.
