recommendations for short-term visitors?

ill be visiting minneapolis and the MOA from chicago for a week in june for work (half of the week) and pleasure (the rest of the week as a solo traveler)! ive never been to MN, so i know very little about it culturally aside from what ive seen in pop culture and the news. that being said, i have a bunch of questions:

  1. where would be a decent place to get a hotel? ill be spending the work half of the week at/near the mall of america, but im looking for a different location for the pleasurable rest of my week. i was thinking dt minneapolis, but im open to suggestions! mind you, im from the west side of chicago and work on the south side and previously lived on the west side, so diverse neighborhoods don't really intimidate me!
  2. what are the best lgbtq+ bars to go to? im a queer 26 year old female, so i enjoy drinking and going to bars and stuff! i like nightlife in general, but being around the community always helps with the nerves (as someone who is an ambivert)
  3. what are some go-to restaurants that you'd kill for? what's one foodplace that always brings you comfort and recommend to everyone? i love food!! share your suggestions with me! just keep in mind i dont really want to pay a tonn of money on a meal, and i dont have dietary restrictions. i am hispanic, so that's always my favorite regional food.
  4. what are things to do during the day? my pleasurable portion is from wednesday (17th) evening - sunday (21st) morning, with my flight leaving sunday afternoon. im open to just about anything! i love exploring and checking out cool new things, but i wont have access to a car so.... that leads to my next question:
  5. how's the public transit? is it accessible? is there an app for ticketing? how much are the tickets? tell me about it!! i dont mind taking lyft everywhere, but that can get pretty expensive
  6. any tips for making friends during my stay? non creepy friends! i was going to try "The Apps" (iykyk) since im on them, but other feedback is welcomed.

sheesh! i think that's all for now? i have slightly less than one month until my trip, so i have time to prepare.

Hi everyone! Is there any way to fix these or fill the gaps in? I thought the glaze would fill the “Cracks” in the bisque ware, but it did not (and now I know)! I plan on using these as 1) a bowl for my cats water and 2) general eating use, so food-safe fixes would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

does anyone have any recipes that use mini loaf tins? i got a few recently bc i want to ship some bread to my friends, but im not sure where to start! i got two packs, so 8 tins (i saw someone put one on top of the other to create like a small “dutch oven” effect)! :3

i’ve previously used the king arthur recipe for bigger loaves, but i’ve never tried to make anything this small!! so im not sure what the baking times would be like or anything!! each tin is like 5.75” L x 3.25” W x 2.25” H for reference.

any recommendations are greatly appreciated!!
