Moto-i Neon Sign in Snow, Uptown Minneapolis

Moto-i neon sign in snow on Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis, lit against a brick wall.
The neon sign for Moto-i, a Japanese restaurant and sake bar, glows in the snow on Lyndale Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis. The restaurant, which opened in 2001, is known for its extensive sake list and sushi offerings. This image was taken during a significant snowstorm on November 26, 2019, which blanketed the city. The sign's bright illumination contrasts with the falling snow, highlighting the establishment's presence in the urban environment.
