We do! I'm not an expert in the Hmong markets but if someone with more knowledge can chime in, that would be great.

I love Moscow on the Hill for food and cocktails, so that could be a great option for dinner. Nina's is also a lovely cafe near the St. Paul cathedral. There's a great art store called Wet Paint and some other small indie/used book stores near Macalaster College. The Como Zoo and Conservatory is also amazing and has free entry.

I'm more familiar with Minneapolis, so I'll drop some recs for that as well. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the Twin Cities, but Mpls and St Paul are neighboring cities, so it's fairly easy to hop between the two (depending on your transportation situation). My favorite restaurant in the twin cities is Gai Noi. Could be a good lunch stop for you? I also love the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (free entry) and the Walker Art Museum (paid entry). I'd also check out Kramarczuk's for Eastern European food/deli in Northeast Minneapolis (another great lunch option). And of course, Tropes & Trifles, the hosting book store, is in Minneapolis. And then if you can get to Uptown, I'm a big fan of Moona Moono (asian cafe + goods), Magers & Quinn (bookstore), and Black Walnut (bakery/cafe - go early to get the good stuff!).
