For a state not quite 200 years old, Minnesota has a surprising number of historic restaurants. Many of the oldest spots popped up when the Twin Cities experienced a population boom in the 1800s. For this reason, most historic restaurants are in the southern part of the state. But there’s a 100-year-old restaurant on the North Shore that is well worth visiting. Read on to learn about Pickwick, its history, and its delicious food:
