FARGO, N.D. (FargoPhantom.com)–Looking for a great weekend to just get away from fargo? Well I found just the place to stay in downtown minneapolis. I really think the Van Dusen Center has to be the most romantic place to stay in in south minneapolis. The website claims the following history….The Van Dusen mansion is one of the most flamboyant late 19th-century residences in Minneapolis. Most of its contemporaries in the Stevens Square-Loring Heights neighborhood have been razed.
George W. and Nancy B. Van Dusen built the 12,000-square-foot mansion and 3,600-square-foot carriage house. in 1892. The structure is a mixture of Richardsonian Romanesque and French Renaissance revival architecture, giving it the look of a castle. It was built as an ostentatious symbol of the accomplishments of an otherwise low-profile company president. George Van Dusen founded Minnesota’s first and most prosperous grain processing and distribution firm in 1883.
Later that evening I went to a Restaurant called Murrays Steakhouse located close to the Target Center. It has to be one of the best steaks Ive ever eaten in my life. Everything there was Ala Carte. There was a woman that plays the piano, and for $20 a woman will come to your table and play the Villain for you, any song that you want. The whole night cost about $160.00 food and wine.
The whole trip including Hotel was well under $600 a night. And yes it was a night to remember. If your significant other does’nt appreciate it my advice is to find another other….just kidding..seriously
