Day before bday omakase lunch with the brother at newly opened east village hole in the wall @sushi_by_m. 12 courses of oishi. Toro with caviar, uni with wagyu were extra yum. Botan ebi was some some April fool’s foolery but thankfully didn’t trigger the allergies. Big Mac of uni, wagyu and toro was a bite of decadence fit for a birthday. Fun with the staff in what was pretty much a private dining experience. By night it’s off and back to Vancouver for the week | East Village, NYC #latepost #nyc #selectivecolor #japanesefood #eastvillage #omakase #sushi #uni #restaurant #blackandwhite #food #birthday #friends #lunch #travel #foodphotography #streetphotography #🍣 #sushichef #streetart #365days2019jp [91/365] (at Sushi By M) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv5Bqltliqi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q5hl9ygzj9cy

Tuesday 4 mile to Queens for some pinoy food and what turned to be some chicken inasal tasting. The first try at Dang Inasal a Mang Inasal knockoff was too sweet for the taste so it’s 2 doors down at Rosario’s where the ambiance and manok are far more inviting. Meb’s 26 Marathons book arrives and it’s quite inspiring. Coffee and chouqette at the friendly nabe French pastry shop’s back garden. It’s spring but not quite yet. Slow roasted porchetta dinner experiment is a huge success. Skin is super crisp and meat tender and right at medium. Friday night on Broadway for comp orchestra tickets to Gary with Nathan Lane. Saturday long run to Queens and back. Sunday spring cleaning with some help from Aida who’s leaving for Florida so she brought her friend as possibly the next housekeeper. Kaws companions relocated and the home tidied up. And just like that March is done. And it’s off to leave home again for a trip to elsewhere | New York, NY #latepost #queens #pinoyfood #chickeninasal #williamsburg #selectivecolor #brooklyn #home #portrait #streetart #nyc #porchetta #homecooking #kaws #obeygiant #longislandcity #blackandwhite #book #broadway #play #theater #architecture #food #streetphotography #spring #cafe #365days2019jp [85-90/365] (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvux7bxlZDV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jegqiai8pah0

Friday train ride from London to Amsterdam CS. Back in NL but instead of staying in the capital it’s off to Utrecht where the Airbnb comes with fiets. Nice welcome from Maika who’s originally from Jakarta and the world of marketing and advertising by way of Unilever and JWT. Bike ride to the local brouwerij and haringhandel and it’s village living. Gezellig. Weekend trips to Utrecht centraal by train and fiets. An appreciation of the cozy cafes, street art and canal. Shopping for kaas, snoepjes and haring at the food markt. Sunday brunch of pannenkoeken in town and a run in maxima park the country’s biggest. Monday and it’s back to nyc. Bid the host and trawangan huisje terima kasih and tot ziens. On the train to Schiphol, news of the Utrecht tram shooting. Godverdomme. Such a peaceful city at that. Aboard the Norwegian air on exit row aisle seats and once back in nyc welcomed by a cabbie who fucked up and drove into the city instead of BK. Stopped the meter anyway and apologized profusely. Where am I. Welcomed back to the billyburg spot to hugs and really good sushi finally.

Tuesday morning easyJet flight after a most hospitable stay in Praha and it’s London by way of Gatwick. Quick reacquaintance with the subway er tube and walking on the right side er left and speaking English the Queens version and a drop off of luggage at the Airbnb in King’s cross, and it’s off exploring the sights. And a bit of brushing up on Brexit and football news. Wednesday immersed in the world of Harry Potter. An early morning stop at the platform 9 and 3 quarters. And a 2-part magical ride with the West End show. Stupefied and in awe the full 6 hour plus show.

From Stonehenge it was off to the Emirates stadium for Arsenal and Stade Rennes.

Overnight bus from Budapest through Slovakia and it’s back to Praha. Monday tram rides and people watching. A 5K training run through Stromovka Park.
