Day 1
EveningPrairie Kitchen
Start the weekend off with some delicious Midwest-inspired food. Catch up with your pals at Prairie Kitchen on the main floor of 701 Eateries over a lefse platter and mocktails. We recommend almost anything on their menu, but especially their hotdish of the moment. Also, be sure to get a cocktail from their extensive drink menu.

MorningTwenty Below Coffee Co.
For your first morning, Fargo's craft coffee scene should be your first stop... and you can get more than caffeinated. The gourmet toast menu at Twenty Below Coffee will fill you up with something warm and (excuse the pun) toasty. Couple that with a hot cup of Joe, and you're ready to tackle your day.

Laurie's carries trendy women's specialty clothing. You'll also walk by Grain Designs, EcoChic, and Mcneal & Friends, all unique furniture and décor shops. Pick out a stylish new jumper and some décor to bring home.

Rustica Eatery & Tavern
After your relaxing afternoon, treat yourself to some munchies. Rustica is a great place to unwind after the big day and have some good food and maybe another glass of wine. This casual fine-dining spot has a cozy vibe with Spanish and Italian influences swirling with delicious American flavors.
We recommend the prosciutto-wrapped stuffed chicken breast or any of their wood-fired pizza.
Take-out and delivery options are also available.

Live Music
Live music can be found all over Downtown Fargo, just a zip over the bridge from Rustica.
Start at the local Irish pub Dempsey's Public House, which has local talent on the main floor most nights, as well as their upstairs space, The Aquarium, that hosts touring indie artists.
If your group would rather take in some comedy, head to The Cellar in Front Street Taproom's basement for local and traveling comedy acts. Hop around downtown bars, and you'd be surprised by the number of performers on the weekend.
