诺斯菲尔德和双子城

Northfield

菲律宾十大彩票平台成立 in 明尼苏达州诺斯菲尔德, in 1866, 就在小镇建成10年后, 我们的第一批学生于1874年毕业. 快进到今天, 诺斯菲尔德是一个繁华的大学城，有20人,000 residents, two colleges, 还有很多要看的和要做的.

从校园走一小段路, Northfield’s main street — Division Street — is lined with locally owned businesses, 友好的咖啡店, 还有各种各样的餐馆. 不管你是在找正宗的墨西哥卷饼, 一本新出版的小说, 或者是寄给朋友的有趣明信片, 你会在诺斯菲尔德找到它. 你还会发现几家杂货店, 诊所和医院, 还有很多其他的便利设施，步行很短, bike trip, or bus ride away.

在诺斯菲尔德有什么好做的? Plenty! 以下是我们最喜欢的一些:

Eat!

Bakeries: From Ames Mill perched on the Cannon River to the smell of Post’s Malt-O-Meal cereal wafting through the air, 很明显诺斯菲尔德有很深的碾磨历史. 这种传统在它的烘焙食品中得以延续. From Martha’s Eats & Treats 在登打士(只在星期五和星期六开放)到 砖炉面包店 to Cake Walk, 有很多地方可以买到烘焙食品.

Restaurants: 诺斯菲尔德有广泛的餐饮选择. 你可以在 The Ole Store. Coco’s Place and El Triunfo 提供墨西哥玉米饼、玉米饼和墨西哥卷饼. Reunion’s classic American fare is topped only by the newly renovated historic building it occupies. Hogan Brothers 这里是吃汤和三明治的好地方吗. Tokyo Grill 是我们常去的寿司店吗. Craving pizza? 而每个北野手都有自己的忠诚 B&L’s Pizza, 乔治的葡萄园, and Basil’s Pizza, all three grew out of the same family and make a good pizza! If you poll the admissions staff on their favorite burger in town, they’ll send you to the 四分卫俱乐部家庭餐厅.

露天用餐: Midwesterners love their pizza farms, and Northfield has one of the best in Red Barn Farm位于小镇东南5英里处. South of town is Keepsake Cidery, which not only has locally made hard cider but a great menu, making for a relaxing picnic locale. You can grab a drink overlooking the Cannon River and catch local musicians on the back patio at Contented Cow (它还碰巧与 小快乐咖啡店 如果你更喜欢冷萃咖啡的话!).

探索(并购物)历史悠久的迪赛街

迪因街是城镇的中心, and Northfielders take pride in preserving its charming historic nature. 除了餐馆和咖啡馆, local entrepreneurs have filled its storefronts with interesting finds. 我们最喜欢的一些包括 Content Books (由菲律宾十大彩票平台校友经营!); the 诺斯菲尔德艺术协会, where you can check out the gallery or gift shop of local art; 临时附件, filled with jewelry and accessories made from reclaimed industrial materials and cultural artifacts; and the Rare Pair, a clothing and shoe boutique that has has long anchored the Bridge Square intersection.

On Saturdays from  late May through October, be sure to swing by the Riverwalk Market to browse local arts and crafts and to pick up some produce. 另一个最受欢迎的站点是 诺斯菲尔德历史学会，主办 击败杰西·詹姆斯·戴斯 劳动节后的周末.

参与社区活动

Your understanding of Northfield won’t be complete without learning about Carleton’s 社区和公民参与中心. The center connects students with organizations in Northfield and beyond, 并促进有意义的志愿者经历, paid positions, 以及学术或研究项目. Our community engages deeply with business and nonprofit partners to tackle such issues as sustainability, 教育访问, and healthcare.

探索诺斯菲尔德市中心

体验阿拉伯和其他地方

Carleton is located on the homelands of the Wahpekute and Mdewakanton bands of the Dakota Nation. One of the ways we honor and preserve these lands is through the ecological preservation and restoration of the college’s 800 acre 整流罩植物园, or the “Arb.” Community members and visitors are invited to explore the 15 miles of trails that weave through woods, 沿着坎农河, 穿过草原. 

If you’re looking for a hike a little further afoot, head to 内斯特兰德大森林州立公园诺斯菲尔德东南方向20分钟车程. 想要探索当地的小径和水道? Head to 农场户外探险 租自行车，皮划艇，滑雪板，雪鞋，和更多!

Refuel

需要午后提神? When you have two colleges in town, you know you’ll find a range of caffeine-flowing study spots. 在迪因街， Little Joy 是最新的，供应北地烘焙咖啡. 再见，蓝色星期一 有强烈的大学氛围和充满艺术气息的墙壁. The Hideaway also serves a nice lunch in addition to coffee, teas, and wine.

如果你更喜欢吃冰淇淋，那就顺便来看看 The Blast for soft serve, Hogan Brothers 有十几种口味可供选择，或者 Coco’s Place, where you can get mangonada, a refreshing mango ice cream layered with spicy and tangy seasoning.

Pick your own

While not far from the Twin Cities, Northfield is surrounded by fields, orchards, and farms. Several local farms invite folks to come and pick their own produce from asparagus to Honeycrisp apples (one of Minnesota’s proudest inventions), 这取决于你是哪个季节来的. 

Fireside Orchard is open mid-August through Christmas Eve — in addition to apples, don’t miss the apple cider donuts! 洛伦斯的浆果农场 提供采摘你自己的草莓, raspberries, and asparagus (always best to call ahead to confirm what’s available). 小山浆果农场 has u-pick organic blueberries, strawberries, and pumpkins.

Twin Cities

Just 40 miles from campus, the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. 保罗为我们的学生提供了很多活动. 有几个 到达那里的方法 from Northfield, so most students find it easy and fun to visit the “Cities” several times a year. 当你到达那里时，这里有一些事情要做.

一阵掌声

双子城有着极其丰富的戏剧文化. Many locals claim that we have the second highest number of theater seats per capita. While that’s yet to be proven, there’s plenty of action on the marquees at the nationally known Guthrie, Ordway, Penumbra, and Orpheum theaters, but don’t overlook the critically acclaimed productions at smaller neighborhood venues like the Jungle, Mixed Blood, 和丽兹剧院.

Prince, Dessa, Lizzo, Dylan, Atmosphere

这里是一些最有影响力的摇滚艺术家的故乡, hip hop, pop, and jazz, 双子城的音乐场景令人难以置信. 不管你是想在 雪松文化中心 或者想赶上全国头条新闻 First Ave, you’ll find a variety of great acts to satisfy your musical appetite.

Hungry?

说到胃口, 你会发现很多餐馆, farmers markets, 在市区到处都有餐车. 你可以享受正宗的玉米粉蒸肉, injera, pho, or lutefisk, 这样你就可以尽情享受以前的最爱了, 但一定要尝试一些新的东西. Whatever you’re craving, if you’re looking for good food, Minneapolis and St. 保罗，你准备好了吗?.

零售和过山车

Did we mention that the largest mall in the United States is located just 30 minutes north of campus? 很难忽视 Mall of America 在明尼苏达州的布卢明顿. It’s practically a rite of passage for Carleton students to trek to “MOA” to shop for clothes, 囤积运动队的物品, 坐过山车, 还可以打一场迷你高尔夫球——全都在一个屋檐下.

Yep. 这是一个大樱桃

沃克艺术中心的户外 Sculpture Garden showcases a beautiful and sometimes silly collection of sculptures, such as the iconic Spoonbridge和Cherry. 就在沃克街对面, you’ll find one of the country’s most comprehensive collections of Asian art at Mia. 探索电力的迷人历史 The Bakken或明尼阿波利斯磨坊文化的历史 Mill City 在密西西比河岸边. And that’s just a small sample of the museums and galleries you’ll find throughout the Twin Cities.

Cheer leaders

If professional sports are your kind of fun, we’ve got you covered. 请查阅以下时间表:

• basketball (Lynx and Timberwolves)
• baseball (Twins and Saints)
• football (Vikings)
• hockey (Wild)
• soccer (明尼苏达联队FC)
• roller derby (明尼苏达州RollerGirls)

到处都是公园和湖泊

我们为自己的户外生活方式感到自豪. Parks, trails, and gorgeous scenery abound in this land of 10,000 lakes. You may have heard it gets cold in Minnesota, and it does, but we have 美丽的四季 here, which means we’re never at a loss for things to do outside. Depending on the weather, we can choose to bike, hike, skate, ski, swim, and run — and so we do!
