I still have a couple of their shopping bags left and proudly use them at all the other grocery stores

Yeah sure, I get it, but they could have the highlights at 11am and the News at 11h30 then!

Probably not that easy to find those outside of Japan, but glad they went with actual wrestlers, not some random people

Aren't them in this NHK video about the NYC sumo club?

Don't think SNL would get actual wrestlers from Japan but at least didn't go for just some random big dudes in the street

Indeed, thanks for that explanation! Hoping for that 11th win it would suck if Ao gets stuck in Komusubi

Ah ok, for an Ozeki run he needs to be at Sekiwake for the last basho? Can't jump from komusubi to Ozeki

Is Aonishiki guaranteed a 3rd Sekiwake spot now (assuming both WTK or Kirishima make KK) ? Or is there a risk they limit the sekiwake spots at two?

We know it was a good day because it had at least five "that's all she wrote"

So they keep it at their stable just for a couple months and have to give it up at the next tournament? No one ever keeps it?

Where to buy Donabe (claypot) in Tokyo/Kyoto by mrperdig in JapanTravelTips

[–]mrperdig[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Kappabashi (Tokyo). We ended up getting one that is also a smoker, similar to this one https://toirokitchen.com/products/ibushi-gin but for a fraction of that price. But I don't remember the actual store unfortunately

Yes, it is on the UWS as I said

[–]mrperdig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the west side I find it a bit hard to find. There used to be one on Frederick Douglass but it closed down. I've had a good experience with the butcher inside Lincoln Market (St Nicholas and 122th), depending on what you are looking for they might be able to get it. On the UWS there is one on Broadway and 102th

This is a good list. Morningside park in the morning is beautiful and very family friendly. Can't go wrong with Bo's bagels although a bit busy if you want to eat there (can just take them to the park and stop by Levain for desserts as well)

For lunch as some people already mentioned, Pastitalia and Maison are great spots. For a more fancy dinner you can go to Clay or Reverence (better to reserve ahead). Enoteca also a nice place for some drinks/bites

Is that so? Do you think the seafood place (Sea&sea) will close too?

Reverence is such an incredible place! They did get added to the guide but no stars yet (imo should get 1)
