Tucked away in a row house a few blocks from the 930, Howard Theater, and other famous music venues lies an amazing little gem of a Japanese eatery. The menu is very seasonal But always amazing. No sushi, all small plates with a little sashimi. Sake you never heard of that dances on the tongue. Very worth the price of entry which is not bad if you have a little discipline with said sake and sashimi.

The single finest, private, most luxurious sushi experience I've had in my life.
It's my platonic ideal of what a night over sushi should be.
Ginza Kyubey is probably the best and most famous sushi restaurant in Tokyo without a Michelin star, with a history dating back to 1935.
Great vibes, fantastic service, tourist friendly (although you'll need a hotel concierge to book you a reservation, like most of the best places in Tokyo).
I've tried to visit here with colleagues or friends every time I've been in Japan for the past decade or so. Always worth it, plus the Ginza is a fun neighborhood to bounce around in at night after you're done.
S/O to lisaluvspizza for the inspo.

This is a cookbook with no recipes that will teach you how to cook everything. It covers everything there is to know about food -- from how it was discovered, how man changed it, how it is grown, how it is harvested and how to prepare and cook it. It dramatically changed my cooking life.

I blew some winnings at Paul Fredrick and now I am rocking some awesome Gaudy old man golf shirts that just drip.

π½Most golden ages are not obvious at the time. I lucked out being in high school in a moment where grunge matured, hip hop got amazing and edm started to rise.
Smells Like Teen Spirit exploded freshman year. The grunge wave got east soon after that. On the other end of the parking lot Wu Tang was played again and again as Biggie and Tupac battled. And the skaters were shifting from punk rock to this new vibe they heard at warehouse raves as techno was escaping from the lab in Dallas and NYC.
The movie Kids catches this time really well. Words donβt quite do it justice.
