Getting Ready for Our Trip to Japan
Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ
Amy and I thought we'd go out and celebrate our anniversary and see what Japanese cuisine might have in store for our trip.

Notes
After looking online for Japanese restaurants in the neighborhood where Amy works at NYU, we decided that this restaurant required us to have the least working knowledge of Japanese cuisine.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Wine Bar: Iavarone Brothers Cafe
Iavarone Brothers Cafe
We were headed to Montauk for the Labor Day Weekend, and planned a dinner stop at Spuntino Wine Bar & Italian Tapas: But we pasted an old familiar Iavarone Brothers first.
Notes
Wednesday is half price bottle of wine night, and NYS law says we can take home what we do not finish! So a $34 bottle of Chianti cost $17 - less than 2 glasses of the same wine!

Disappointment at the Pilsener Haus in Hoboken
Pilsener Haus & Biergarten
Amy and I went for brunch. I should have left when the waitress told me they were substituting Chicken for Pork in the WIENER SCHNITZEL, or maybe I should have just had the chicken fingers at half the price.
