    Does anyone know if there are any bus tours that schlep you down to Paisley Park?  It is like 30 miles from our hotel and we weren't planning on renting a car.

    Thanks in advance.

    Not that I know of. Chanhassen is not close to the either downtowns at all. 

    I'm not sure there is any Prince related tour around the metro. But....that sounds like a good idea! 

    Diddy, Vant, may be a business opportunity....

    Read something interesting: typical for restaurants in and around Minneapolis and St Paul to add a 20% service charge to the bill (regardless of party size) prior to adding tip? 
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    I’ve never seen/heard/experienced that and I live in the Twin Cities. Some places add an up charge instead of tipping, but super rare.

    Be interested to see where you found that info.

    I usually tip 20% but hate when I tip again after not noticing that tip has already been included!

    This is for spoon and stable which is pretty much considered best spot in the Twin cities (I have dinner res between shows) they moved to a "no tipping model"... .more info if want https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-restaurant-pros-offer-tips-for-navigating-the-new-world-of-tipping/600192684/

    Spoon and Stable offers explicit language on its bill: "Should I leave a tip? There is no expectation to leave a tip in addition to the Hospitality Charge. The tip line is provided as an option to express appreciation for an outstanding experience."

    Where ya staying? State Fair is something to behold if you're up for another crowd filled day. Saints baseball game is on Friday I hear. Thats a fun time, and affordable. Plenty of breweries and restaurants to check out. Some folks are hiking it over to Chanhassen to see Prince's Paisley Park. Ummmm.. Stillwater is a lovely town to check out if you want to get out of the cities.
