This Wednesday was supposed to be road-trip day, followed by date-night. Fortunately we had the awkward conversation that let us conclude mutually conclude that the road-trip idea was batshit crazy. Thus evening saw us capping a quiet day by dressing up a notch and navigating the historic streets of Center City PhilaPA to get down […]

Bradway’s Farm Market, Salem
I’m unreasonably fond of the rolling corn ‘n’ cow country in the southwestern corner of New Jersey. Not that Pitman is such a hectic place, but since I discovered it, my idea of peace and relaxation has been rolling through here on a bike. These days it’s not practical – no bike in NJ, not […]

Nagasaki Rou, Nihonbashi (二代目 長崎楼)
Yeah, the amazing ten-don place was full again, and had 10 people in line again. With a small but heavy sigh, I walked around the neighborhood and settled on one of the other places I hadn’t been to. Nagasaki food isn’t so famous, is it? The only thing that springs to mind is the ‘junk […]
