Minneapolis Lunch Recommendations When you have friends and family in town for your wedding (or whenever), here are my top picks for where to send them to lunch (or a casual bite anytime). Dong Yang (Northeast) You walk into a Korean grocery store, go down the middle aisles, turn left, and when you are sure you have the wrong place, you will find an arched entrance to Dong Yang, the best Korean restaurant in the Cities.

Ready to share with the world, the lovely celebration…

Some folks might lean into a themed wedding, but choosing a non-traditional space doesn’t require everything to follow suit. The bright colors and flair of this couple perfectly complimented the renaissance vibe with a modern feel.

The Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis is a favorite location for portraits. It is easy to see why – the energy, the skyline views, the roar of the Mississippi, and the architectural structure all make for excellent portrait settings.
