Urban amenities and outdoor opportunities abound in Hawthorne, a friendly neighborhood that lies three miles north of downtown Minneapolis. Residents come for the charming historic homes and the convenient location, and they stay for the welcoming community atmosphere.
In the center of the neighborhood, Fairview Park attracts crowds with its wading pool, playground, and sports fields. The large hill at the center of the park provides a beautiful view of the Minneapolis skyline. If you're a runner or biker, make the short trek east to the extensive paved path that lines the Mississippi River.
In the south section of Hawthorne, West Broadway Avenue serves as the neighborhood's commercial and social center. For a dose of Minnesota charm, head to Sammy's Avenue Eatery for a sweet tea and the restaurant's legendary turkey pastrami sandwich. At breakfast, it's hard to beat Breaking Bread Cafe, where locals rave about the shrimp and grits.
