Here are the Best of 2011 City Pages winners with connections to NoMi:
Best Undiscovered Neighborhood: Victory Neighborhood, Minneapolis
Best Local Blog: The Adventures of Johnny Northside (Two years running!)
Best Burger: Victory 44 (not really, in my opinion, but we'll get to that in a moment)
Best Neighborhood Bar (Minneapolis): Tootie's on Lowry
Honorable mention for something that SHOULD be in NoMi, Best Bike Trail: Grand Rounds, along the Mississippi River.
Various other downtown spots with North in their street address garnered top honors as well, but they are not technically in NoMi. Out of all of those, however, the best bike shop jumped out at me because we need a bike shop here. (And a REAL one, mind you, not some taxpayer/non-profit funded program-based notion that will dry up with future budget cuts.)
Now, about that burger (and the best blog)...
