Dine Around Minneapolis

A Conference Favorite!

Thursday, April 2, 2026, 7:00 PM

Requires a separate registration.

​

Visiting Minneapolis for PLA 2026 and don't know what's 'good' to eat? Love discovering local restaurants, but don't have anyone to eat with? Let one of the Hennepin County Library (HCL) staff be your host!

 

For the evening of Thursday, April 2, a group of HCL staff have volunteered to 'host' dinners at local restaurants for visiting PLA Conference attendees.

 

You will meet your dinner host at the restaurant with reservations scheduled for 7:00 PM. Hosts plan to be at their restaurant by 6:45 PM. Each diner is responsible for their won bill.  See restaurant list below. Space is limited, so please register at the Local Information counter near the main entrance of the convention center.
