Eating Like a King
This week has been absolutely insane. I'm sure I've spent $200 eating out/drinking. There's a couple of guys from Infusion working in Boston, and we've been hooking up for dinners...
I've done 2 dinners at this one really posh nice restaurant/club called Houstons.... I had the 'Evil Thai Ginger Grill Salad' both times...essentially it's a TON of super delicious steak in a mango/avacado/peanut/noodle salad.
Tuesday I went to Legal's Seafood, a seriously expensive but mega delicious seafood place. We had uber good tuna sashimi, mussells, lobster, and yummy home made ice cream!!
Last night we went on a serious adventure to try to find this sushi place Oishi Sushi. Word on the street is that it's considered the 4th best sushi place in North America. The thing is...it was abotu a 45 minute subway/train ride away from downtown...we get off the train in the middle of nowhere(it's kind of like the Go Train in toronto...so "stations" generally are parking lots in the middle of nowhere). One of the guys claimed he knew EXACTLY where we were...but after walking 100 feet or so(remember, we're in the middle of nowhere and it's very dark out) we decided that we erally had no idea what we were doing and it would be ebst to wait for a cab.
So after about 10 minutes a cab showed up. We asked him to take us to the address...Cab's always cost a minimum amount, even just to sit in...well in Boston that minimum is $1.50. Shortly, we were waiting at a traffic light..I watched the fare tick from $1.80 up to $2.40....at $3 the cabbie pulled over and stopped. The guy in the front goes to him "Why're you stopping...could you just take us to the restaurant please?". "Buddy, this IS the restaurant.".
It was singularly the shortest cab ride of my life...like...honestly, 1 city block tops.
The sushi was awesome, even though it was a lengthy place. The restaurant only has seating for like 15 maybe...so not a lot of turnover, and nto a lot of space. But the food was yummmmy!
I'm back in toronto this weekend, then heading back to new york next week. Fun fun fun!
