Highly Recommend

I'm not one to often recommend places to eat or to visit, but last night Aimee and I had dinner at Rice Paper (www.ricepaperrestaurant.com), an Asian Fusion restaurant in the Linden Hills neighborhood (right next to Lake Harriet). I would highly recommend you checking it out. We had the Shrimp Spring Rolls for an appetizer, and we each had the Song Huong Beef Plate for dinner - the food might be a bit expensive, but the taste was absolutely amazing!

There are also many neat places to shop in the Linden Hills neighborhood (www.linden-hills.com), including Bibelot (http://bibelotshops.com/Store_Linden.html), which was closed by the time we were done eating but just by looking in their window I could see that it's a place that I'll go back to soon. There is also a great children's bookstore called Wild Rumpus (www.wildrumpusbooks.com/NASApp/store/IndexJsp), with many different live animals wandering around the store, or in cages - a great experience for kids of all ages.

Be sure to check out Rice Paper and the Linden Hills neighborhood - you won't be dissapointed!
