A minor correction: The Red Dragon is on Lyndale.
I'd offer to show you around, but I've got a couple research/lab reports to write.
The Timberwolves don't sell out by a long shot, so you shouldn't have to deal with scalpers.
Minneapolis has many wonderful and culturally significant places to get drunk, if that's your thing. There's First Ave, which is notable among the locals primarily because famous musicians used to play there. There's Nye's Pollonaise Room, which Esquire called the best bar in America (I think it was Esquire). There's the aforementioned Red Dragon, where I had my first legal drink; it's kind of a dump, but they serve real booze.
You'll be here for the Hollidazzle Parade down Nicollet Mall. This is where Minneapolitans get together a pretend that sitting still outside in the dead of winter is fun.
You could skip the largest mall in the US and instead wander around the FIRST mall in the US. Not only is Southdale less crowded, but its theater is far superior to the one at the MOA.
There are also museums: The Science Museum, The Mineapolis Institute of Art, The Weismann.
There is a very diverse collection of ethnic restaurants called "Eat Street" (A goofy, but accurate name). I recommend Jasmine Deli, Quang's and Tacos Morellos.
Hope you have a nice weekend.
