Dinkytown is vibrant community located on the north side of the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The heart of Dinkytown is located in just a four block area inhabited by a diverse array of businesses on University Avenue, 4th Street, and 5th Street.

Over the years people have come to shop at the boutiques, eat at the local restaurants such as Al’s Breakfast, or be entertained by the great music at the Varsity Theater. Mostly however, people come to Dinkytown to live. The students and non-students residing in the residential community surrounding the Dinkytown business district have created and shaped what Dinkytown is today.
