Dinner at Nobu
Nobu "Fifty Seven" is a famous restaurant in New York featuring Japanese cuisine of the legendary chef Nobu Matsuhisa. In addition to Chef Nobu, one of his business partners is the Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro. Bobby wasn't at Nobu last night, but he has been seen at the bar often. There are several Nobu locations, but this "Fifty Seven" location (refering to being on 57th Street) is designed with modern Asian styles, using abalone shell chandeliers, bamboo stalks in terrazzo tiles, ash tables and Japanese quilt fabric. Behind the bar there are huge Japanese Sake barrels hanging fromthe ceiling, which you can see as you walk upstairs to the dining room. The bar has deep rich tone woods, rich colors and plenty of intimate lighting that makes ths restaurant a favorite among New Yorkers and visitors alike.

You're definitely a class act and a breath of fresh air, kiddo. Did I ever tell you that I smile with every new post you share? If not, let it be known that I am smiling with you now.
Enjoy the good life while you can, and know that I am wishing you many many more years of good times, Sir.

I'm coming back as you in my next life.
I'd love to do a simple "Freaky Friday" type switch, but I don't think you'd want to be on my end of that deal! lol
Just wanted to know that I borrowed "saturday seven" since you didn't do it..with my spin of course..lmao.
I linked you and gave you full credit...check it out when you get a chance..lmao.
Dude, if you come to London, you have to let me go around with you, cause you do a city right!
Okay, Japanese food and a Cosmo! Two of my favourite things in the world! :)
Ooh, love sushi, had some last week - and tomorrow I am off to Chinatown.
If you're ever in London, try Yauatcha which is the trendiest Asian fusion designer dim sum tea house around. Trendy enough to require pre-booking. They have orchid tea to die for, and the pretty little cakes. Oh, and the totally Zen loos with Molton Brown soap...
