Originally published in Travel + Leisure, this piece put Edina on the national map of coolest suburbs worth a visit. Situated eight miles from downtown Minneapolis, Edina becomes particularly vibrant at the intersection of 50th and France — where, as the article noted, "this sprawling suburb takes on a small village feel."
To See
The Edina Promenade pathway features rotating sculpture exhibits and leads directly into Centennial Lakes Park (7499 France Avenue South). The park offers croquet, paddleboat rentals, and skating along three interconnected ponds — a year-round destination for locals and visitors alike.
To Eat
Edina Grill (5028 France Avenue South) was the article's local dining recommendation — specifically called out for steak and pierogies with crispy tobacco onion strings. Visitors were also invited to browse local shops or enjoy wine at Salut Bar Americain along 50th & France.
