Goin out on a Monday

Mondays are obviously not a great day for most of us. Weekend went by to fast and now back to grind. A great way to change that is to go out on Monday night. Yes Monday. It will help you keep the feeling of the weekend going no matter how busy you were today as it surely went by very quickly with co-workers stories of weekend escapades.

I am a member of the bridge and tunnel crowd now much to my chagrin, well except for my large and inexpensive apartment (no complaints) and as such have to find great area restaurants. I reside in the lovely  Bayside. Quiet place to lay my head and only 2 blocks from Bell Boulevard with it's restaurants and it's varied ethnic cusisine from Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Greek and on tap tonight, Japanese.

There are 2 great locations, Okinawa which is pricer and more authentic sushi and sashimi and my fave Mr. Wasabi. With it's large portions and great service, they ensure you will not only leave full but keep coming back for more. I got the Volcano roll, Boston Roll, Wasabi Cheese and Eel Rolls. They are as always delicious and you should ask the helpful staff to recommend a good beer or get the saki if you are more daring. I always love it there and loved going with girlfriends and splitting the rolls. We would get like 6 different kinds and the bill was like $35 dollars for the whole thing.

Eel & Boston Rolls

Overall a great value, nice setting and yummy food. Not as authentic as Okinawa, but if you are feeling like a more experimental version of sushi or are new to it, I can not recommend this place enough.
