Minneapolis' 2nd-Annual Patio Week Kicks Off

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- If you didn't enjoy last weekend's practically-perfect weather in the Twin Cities, no need to worry.

This entire week, we'll see a string of upper 70s and possibly 80s in the forecast. It's also the perfect time to take in a patio, according to Kristen Montag, communications manager for Meet Minneapolis.

"Winter is obviously tough on everybody, but as hearty Minnesotans we get through it and we really enjoy it when it gets nice outside," Montag said.

This week, Meet Minneapolis is celebrating its second annual "Patio Week." Thirty-eight restaurants and bars are participating with food and drink specials.

"Thirty-eight excellent patios," Montag said. "Everything from decks, to rooftops, to places on the water. There's something for everybody really."
