When the city of Minneapolis tried to figure out what to do with the long vacant Sears building on Lake Street tons of ideas were brought up. They decided to create the Midtown Global Market - a center that showcased over 50 restaurants, grocery stores, flower and gift shops. Each represents one of Minneapolis's vast array of cultures, like: Fiesta In America's Latin gifts, and Middle Eastern Holy Land Grocery and Deli. It may be middle America, but at Midtown Global Market, you'll find Minneapolis's own mini-melting pot.
