The Best Restaurants in Northeast Minneapolis | Eater Twin Cities

"A beloved Ukrainian bakery, market, and restaurant, Kramarczuk’s first opened in Northeast Minneapolis near the Nicollet Island Bridge in 1954. Anna and Wasyl Kramarczuk came to Minnesota from Ukraine as refugees in the late 1940s, and they eventually bought one of the city’s oldest butcher shops and made it their own. Today, Kramarczuk’s is beloved for its vast array of savory sausages and its restaurant menu, which features favorites like pierogi, borscht, and hefty pastrami brisket sandwiches. The James Beard Foundation named it an America’s Classic in 2013, but the Cities’ didn’t need anyone to tell us that. Takeout is available if you prefer to eat your cabbage rolls at home. —Justine Jones" - Stacy Brooks
