Dinkytown 3 Star

Dinkytown

Dinkytown, USA (more commonly known just as Dinkytown) is an area within the Marcy Holmes neighborhood in Minneapolis, Minnesota consisting of several square blocks occupied by various small businesses, restaurants, food courts, bars, and the like, and apartment buildings mostly housing university students. Dinkytown is adjacent to the north side of the University of Minnesota campus.

In Dinkytown are some notable landmarks, including the Dinky Dome (a former theological seminary converted to a large food court), the Loring Pasta Bar (former drugstore converted to a restaurant, and also the building where Bob Dylan lived in Minneapolis), and Al's Breakfast (arguably the city's smallest restaurant). Incidentally, Dinkytown's main thoroughfare is 4th Street SE, which some believe to be Dylan's inspiration for his derisive "Positively 4th Street" (although Dylan also lived for a time on West 4th Street in New York City). The name Dinkytown is of uncertain origin, although it was in definite use by 1948, when the Dinkytown Business Association formed. Source wikipedia
