A: It’s weird that you say “vacation.” I never have time. I’m a beach girl. I love being close to water. Last year, I went to Eleuthera in the Bahamas. It’s got these pink beaches. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Myrtle Beach is also on my list.
Q: I know you’re also into wine. Favorites?
A: I love the cabernets from Caymus Vineyards in Napa Valley. I want to spend time out there.
Q: What are some of your favorite local restaurants and bars?
A: Honestly, anywhere with good vibes and good people, places where you can connect with the bartender and waiter. I like Eli’s East. It’s open late. Billy Sushi. Giulia in the Emery Hotel. I love a good rooftop, like the one at Hewing Hotel. The Minneapolis food scene is better than most people think. I like trying new things, except oysters and scallops.
