Juicy Lucy Burgers - Minneapolis - Counselor Real Estate

  • Baldamar - 1642 County Road, B2 West, Roseville 55113
    The Juicy Lucy is a Twin Cities tradition, but a new restaurant near Roseville homes for sale is adding an updated twist. Baldamar is a contemporary steakhouse "with old-world craft at its core and modern-day meat-eaters in mind." Their reinvented Juicy Lucy is made with a blend of venison and Kobe beef stuffed with smoked Gouda and served on a brown butter pretzel roll. Pair your burger with a selection from the impressive list of bottled and draught beer. Baldamar is open for lunch until 4 p.m. every day but Sunday. Dinner is served seven days a week and a Sunday brunch buffet is offered from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Twin Cities Florists - Counselor Realty

"Say it with Flowers," the iconic slogan of the florist industry, originated in the repressed atmosphere of the Victorian era. Flowers were used as a literal communication system to express feelings and emotions that couldn't be stated aloud in proper society.

Times have changed, but you can still say "I love you" with a Valentine's Day gift from one of these great Twin Cities florists recommended by our real estate agents.

  • The Flower Shoppe - 8654 Central Ave. NE, Blaine 55434
    The Flower Shoppe, just minutes from Blaine homes for sale,  posts the following disclaimer on their website: "If you're looking for dull and unexciting, go somewhere else." Their talented florists love creating "blooming art" using "props" such as books, cowboy boots, and fishing lures to fit your specific theme. Hours are 8:30 a.m. - 7 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturday.
