As the summer sun graces our city with its warm embrace, it’s time to revel in the delights of the season with our July issue of Edina Magazine. Amid the vibrant blooms and lush greenery, we’re thrilled to unveil our much-anticipated Best of Edina winners and runners-up. From charming local boutiques to exceptional dining destinations and indispensable services, these winners represent the crème de la crème of our beloved city. Let this issue be your guide to the very best Edina has to offer. From garden inspiration to insider tips on where to shop, dine and explore, we’ve got you covered.
We also take a look at the people who make Edina and its citizens the best they can be. From Kimberly Kupiecki who teaches us about home and work life (page 16) to a couple who have made the high school badminton team what it is today (page 20), we have stories of those who inspire those around them.
For the cocktail and adventure-lovers out there, we share the latest and greatest drinks from across the West Metro. Try one a week, or if you’re extra ambitious and would like to try all of them in one go, plan a “cocktail crawl,” which I like to think of as a slightly more sophisticated pub crawl (page 44).
And for Independence Day, we’ve asked our Editorial Advisory Board and our columnists for their go-to Fourth of July recipes that can go from backyard barbecue to swanky soirée (page 24).
Happy Fourth of July,
—Feroza Mehta
