Moving from Chicago to Minneapolis - Where to Go to Meet New People?

I was posed this question by a fella from Chicago…
I have accepted a job in Minneapolis (Downtown), starting mid-July 2008. I currently live in Chicago (10 years now), originally from So. FL–guess the next move would have to be Canada to keep up with the trend!
A little about me: I’m 28, single guy (straight), making good money. Basically, I’m looking for the hippest and hottest places to live, learn, and meet new people. Access to Food, Music, and the Arts are very important. I’ve heard Uptown (Lake/Hennepin) is THE place to live for all three. Downtown (Nicolet) has also been mentioned as a good place to live. Closer to downtown the better. Any thoughts?
I am very excited about this new opportunity, and greatly appreciate any advice and additional sources of information.
Here’s my response…
Try the ThriftyHipster.com website for a lot of good music, etc. on the cheap.
Here’s his response…
Booyah, the Thrify Hipster website rocks! Thanks for the info!
I’m thinking about Loring Park . . .better to have access to the Skyway, close to work, and walking distance to, well, life. It seems a lot of bars/restaurants close at 2am, which is right in line with Chicago.
He’s gonna love it here!
Good response, Jeanie - sending him to a resource that will keep on giving.
