Lunch with Yuko at Adachi

One of the places Amy found online was Adachi.  The restaurant opens at noon.  Because of our schedule change, we were early.  We hung out at the 7-11 sown the block using the free WiFi.  Then moved to in front of the restaurant.  Our presence was noticed and the owner was very apologetic, even though she was not in the wrong at all, and gave us a gift of beautiful Japanese prints as we left.

The case to choose the sides.

Yuko and Amy at Adachi

Yuko was very helpful because there was not an English menu on the weekend.  There was a choice of 4 entrees, and then choose three sides from the case at the front.

One piece each of fried fish and fried chicken

Amy had miso mackeral, snails, and chicken livers for her sides.

I had raw tuna over rice, with spinach, yams, and green beans on the side

National Lobster Day

Day three of the NYC Yarn Crawl. Today we were at the far North West store on the map:

Today's lunch was at the Upper West Side outlet of Luke's Lobster

Today's Special for National Lobster Day is

This restaurant is just like the lobster shacks in Maine:  Small, has a line, has a limited seafood menu, and fresh lobster.

One of the hallmarks of these restaurants is responsibly sourced food stuffs, to that end they tell you where the seafood comes from:

This is the special tray, with the side of coleslaw.

The full menu looks like this:
