Based on suggestions from readers like you, and my own experiences living in Lake City, MN, I've made a second list of things to do! If you didn't read part one, you can find it here. These are perfect if you call Lake City home or if you're just here for the weekend. I'll be picking up where we left off with, at number seven. This time, these are all edible!
7. Treats and Treasures
Treats and Treasures literally has everything you would want in a candy shop, and more! Featuring homemade fudge, truffles and other chocolate goods, as well as other candies, clothing, and even bakeware. They're open everyday from 10:00 to 5:30, so be sure to go back day after day to try a new fudge! Some favorites include mint, peanut butter and raspberry pecan. Check out their website here.
8. Marien's Deli
Marien's, owned by the Marien family of Lake City, is a local favorite. You have to try their scotch-a-roos or another bar! They have sandwiches and a selection of meats, cheeses, and pasta salads. If you haven't, try getting their garlic pesto mayo on your favorite sub! A family favorite is the meatball sub. They've also been around for generations, so you know it's good.
9. Apps and Desserts at Nosh
Although their menu is always changing to keep the freshest ingredients in rotation, Nosh Restaurant & Bar always has delicious appetizers and desserts. My personal favorites to start off are the garlic shrimp and roasted exotic mushrooms. These are both large enough to share! Since it's a pricier place, I'd recommend skipping dinner and going straight to dessert. Their bourbon chocolate ice cream has been a favorite of mine for 10+ years.
10. Dinner at Cheung's Garden Restaurant
Cheung's Chinese food is my favorite place in town for Chinese! All their ingredients are super fresh and prepared to order. Many of the dishes feature colorful components. Find more information here.
