You get a two-for-one deal this week, because we’re looking for travel tips for Minnesota’s twin cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul. I’ve never been, but I noticed that nine out of 11 articles on one local magazine’s website are about the ridiculous things you can eat at the state fair this week, so I think I’m in love already.
Each Monday on Hack Your City, we ask readers for your best tips on a city: driving tips, restaurant recs, things to do, and any other advice for visitors and locals. Then on Thursday, we present the best comments. We’re working our way around the U.S. and around the globe.
Time for our regular Hack Your City questions:
What’s underrated? What places deserve a few more discerning visitors? What are the best alternatives to tourist traps and mediocre “town favorites”? What’s the weirdest thing you like there?

How should a visitor approach the city? What attitude should they adopt? What local traditions, behaviors, and laws should they be aware of? What should they know about the Cities’ past and present? How friendly are the locals, and how can visitors get along with them?
What’s it like longterm? What do you love and hate about the Cities? What do you recommend to other residents? How do you hack your commute, what’s your daily lunch spot? What mistakes do new residents make—any shibboleth street names or weird parking regulations? And where do you go when you want to get out of the Cities for a day or a weekend?
Lastly, how has the city’s vibe changed over the last few years? What old travel advice no longer applies here, and what new advice does?

Leave your tips in the comments below, and we’ll highlight the best ones throughout the week. We get a lot of repeat tips on here, so if you want to get featured, read a couple comments before you leave your own. Then come back Thursday for a new post with the highlights.
