COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
One restaurant that really stands out is Queen of Sheba. Popular dishes include lamb and beef specialties. There is also an extensive vegetarian menu.
One of the high-end restaurants of the Upper East Side, the spacious and inviting Cafe D’Alsace was on Anthony Bourdain’s list of favorites. They have outdoor dining in a very pleasant sidewalk cafe to chill in with a glass of white wine.
Some specialized stores remain including the aptly named Café Budapest on 2nd Avenue. They serve Hungarian food as traditional and authentic as you can get, in a cozy inviting atmosphere.
I really enjoy Spice Symphony. This is not just another Indian restaurant. I’ve been coming here for years and it is consistently good. What originally attracted me to this welcoming Indian restaurant in the first place was their claim to specialize in Indo-Chinese food.
We used to live in just above Manhattan, in Riverdale, a nice neighborhood in the Bronx. Every Friday after work we would make it a ritual to go to Aoyu Sushi for a nice night out in an authentic Japanese restaurant.
New Wonjo is right smack in the center of Koreatown on West 32nd Street. Here is where I learned to love Korean food. Every time I’ve been here there has been a long wait to get in but it is so worth it. They have the best Korean BBQ.
