I really enjoyed the ownerâs selection and I liked getting to know her. At first we thought she maybe didnât want us in there but itâs a good reminder that language barriers are real and just because we think weâre not the âannoyingâ kind of tourists, that connection isnât granted. Some Google Translate and fawning over her latest acquisition (Chick Correa v Herbie Hancock) and we all got along!

I went to New York for the first time this summer. We went to a Japanese restaurant with live jazz. The wait was long (1.5 hours), but I had fun talking to my brother in line. The musicians were extremely talented, and my food was amazing. Get the matcha cake.

đŁMrs. Yamaguchi and Mr. Yamaguchi are the original purveyors of Japanese cuisine in New York and their Port Washington restaurant is so delicious it is worth the LIRR ride just for dinner. Theyâve been serving sushi since the â70s and keep a pretty low-key, traditional mood within the restaurantâthough I think they are currently take-out only because of COVID. The sushi is unreal and the ginger dressing, a secret recipe, is somehow even better. If you are very lucky and loyal, Mrs. Yamaguchi will give you a bar of dark chocolate after dinner, and if you have attained god tier levels of customer loyalty, she will give you a container of ginger dressing on your birthday. This styrofoam cup of dressing is the most valuable item I have ever owned; after each birthday I have to ration it out for the entire year.

đParticularly when traveling to Tokyo, where there are like a dozen different places in Shimokitazawa, Nakameguro, Shinjuku or Roppongi that feel like my platonic ideal of Japanese culture/society. Sit in your booth, put your earbuds in, float on a sea of tonkatsu broth. Ahhhh.

I think going to sleep is the really fun part of sleeping. The feeling of drifting off is what we're here for right? Drink a bunch of water before bed and not only do you wake up more hydrated but you'll likely get to get up and head to the loo AT LEAST once.
Without this break in your sleep, we zoom unawares towards our alarms.
Only recommended for people who actually get up when they need to pee.
