900 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis MN 55403
Nicollet Mall is a portion of Nicollet Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Along with Hennepin Avenue, one block to the west, it forms the cultural and commercial heart of the city. The Nicollet Mall is an upscale shopping and dining district designed to appeal to the white-collar workers who form much of downtown Minneapolis's daytime community. Office buildings, most notably the IDS Center, and department stores such as Macy's and Neiman Marcus, are located on Nicollet Mall.
The area also includes Orchestra Hall, and is close to the Warehouse District, the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, the Minneapolis Convention Center, and the Minneapolis Public Library.
Nicollet Mall has very wide sidewalks surrounding a two-lane taxi-and-buses-only street, promoting a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere; bicycles are also allowed on the street, except during weekday rush hours. Nicollet Mall itself is only about 11 blocks long, but Nicollet Avenue continues well south of downtown Minneapolis into residential districts of the city.
Although Nicollet Avenue's most noteworthy stretch is in the downtown commercial district, the 12-block stretch of ethnic restaurants and groceries along Nicollet Avenue just south of downtown, from Grant Street to 29th Street, known as Eat Street has become quite popular in recent years.
