One Day in Fargo

One of Fargo's best assets is the colossal, lush and natural wooded setting that makes up Lindenwood Park. Situated along the banks of the Red River (which consistently floods each year), Lindenwood is where everyone goes to play and recreate. From the long, winding multi-use paths to the clean, wooded campground for tents and RVs, Lindenwood Park is a great place to get a feel for the fine people of Fargo. You can get lost here for days. And when you're ready to leave the park, the park's bike path will also will take you to just about anywhere in the older, more charming side of Fargo. Rent a bike at the park recreation headquarters, or bring your own, you'll have a blast riding through this beautiful, clean park that Fargoans are obvi... More >

Doolittles Woodfire Grill

When driving through the Dakotas, I saw lots of billboards that said "Eat Beef!" Perhaps they were talking about Doolittles. This carnivore-oriented woodfire grill is the finest place in town to consume massive quantities of beef, chicken or fish while celebrating that special occasion with friends and family.

Tochi Products & Specialty Fds

When I (a lifelong vegetarian) arrived in North Dakota, a fellow vegetarian warned me that this part of the world is not a great place to live if you like vegetables. Perhaps they're right, but even if they are, the great community of like-minded, health-oriented folks who you'll meet at Tochi's will help you forget that. Tochi's is a ... More >

When I (a lifelong vegetarian) arrived in North Dakota, a fellow vegetarian warned me that this part of the world is not a great place to live if you like vegetables. Perhaps they're right, but even if they are, the great community of like-minded, health-oriented folks who you'll meet at Tochi's will help you forget that. Tochi's is a legencary old school health food emporium that brings the best organic and healthy products to a part of the world that desperately needs it. Hang out for a bit and get to know the customers shopping there. You'll meet some nice people who will talk your ear off if you want, and maybe even invite you to church (it happened to me!). I love it here.

Downtown Fargo once suffered the depressing fate of many old dilapidated commercial districts, but today it's once again a thriving center of culture, nightlife and community. The Donaldson Hotel is a shining example of what redevelopment funds can do for a commercial district like Fargo's. Formerly a permanent tenant apartment flophouse, this large building was saved from the wrecking ball back in 2001 and is now one of the most popular places to eat, sleep and drink in town. The location is great, and near the best downtown attractions and nightlife that Fargo has to offer.

Situated along the banks of the Red River (which consistently floods each year), Lindenwood is where everyone goes to play and recreate.
