Explore past and present culinary traditions along the West End, one of Saint Paul’s oldest neighborhoods, built along one of the city’s oldest roads. From the early days of the Upper Landing to today’s bustling West 7th Street, this neighborhood has a unique story to tell through food! Learn about the diverse culinary traditions of the people who have lived and worked here and sample food from some of the best restaurants the West End has to offer.
