3. Roasted Baby Crabs This is a very sad entry… These are actual crab babies we are talking about. Roasted crab babies. It might just be me but I keep getting this image of a Daddy, Mommy and Junior crab playing together in their underwater house when suddenly the kid is yanked out in a [...]

I try to visit Soba-Ya in the East Village each season of the year for the lunch box ($17) which comes with your choice of either cold or hot, soba or udon noodles. During winter and fall I get the warm noodles and during the spring and summer I order them cold. Soba is something [...]

I tried to take pictures at Ippudo but it I got there around a half hour before closing time with my cousin who had just flown in from Buffalo. If you’ve ever been to Ippudo in the evening then you know how dark it is and all the pictures that I took with my Iphone [...]

This isn’t the easiest food in the world to describe so you’ll have to bare with me. Otafuku is a Japanese street food shop that mainly caters to intoxicated NYU students as a dorm is right up the block. The food is cheap, greasy, delicious and different. It’s perfect when you’re either really drunk or [...]

It’s completely random that I’ve written about two Asian bakeries this week that have both closed, remodeled and reopened with expanded menus. Do don’t expect me to start working on themes. I’m a blog killer who works by the phone book. Before Panya closed it’s doors to remodel it was known as “that bakery near St. Marks that [...]

Eating Yakitori is a trend that I have to admit that I’m way behind on and have been trying to play catch up. I live next to Tori Shin which is a highly regarded Yakitori restaurant that has a price fixed menu. It’s sort of expensive and I can’t justify spending a lot of money [...]

One of the reason that I love living in the East 60′s is because it puts me in relatively close proximity to Katagiri market on East 59th street. I’m aware that they get all of their pre-made sushi and Japanese food such as tempura, soba noodles, bento boxes, rice bowls etc from Chiyoda Sushi in [...]

Katagiri is one of my favorite Japanese markets in the city. I have picked up a bunch of odd Japanese products here ranging from seasoned, baby crabs deep fried and intended to be snaked on like potato chips, to Japanese Hostess like snack cakes, my favorite being the moist banana roll. What’s best about this [...]
