yakiniku west

last night we went to yakiniku west just a block from our place. we had to put our shoes in the cubbyholes upon entry and there were toilet slippers to use in the loo. natsukashiiiiii/ brings back memories! the boy prefers gyukaku though, apparently. in other news, my poor mother-in-law's friend has had a tough ride in the States. a romantic sounding journey from Florida to NYC by train through the storms and now no boats to Ellis island or the statue of liberty because of the storms. now the trains have recommended. oh dear...
