The Auriental

Went to this speak easy the first night in Osaka Umeda (in the Kitashinchi area). Definitely had a lot of Japanese whisky selection.

The thing about this place is that they don’t have a menu (so it’s kinda hard to know how much you’re gonna pay unless you ask how much each whisky is).

I tried a version of Hibiki Harmony called the Blossom’s choice (around $400 a bottle). As well got a high ball (not sure what whisky). I would definitely come back here again (and try other whisky’s, but look up the prices online before ordering).

Also, the glasses looked pretty sick (as seen below)

Joe’s Pizza

In our continued hunt to keep eating awesome pizza in New York, we stopped by this place shortly after going to Scarr’s pizza.

Got two pizza’s at this place. One was cheese, and the other pepperoni. Would stop by here again if I were in the area.

Scarr’s Pizza

This is apparently a popular pizza place in china town. Fortunately when we got there the line wasn’t too long.

They’re known I think for their thick square pizza’s. I got a pepperoni square pizza, but also a regular cheese pizza. Both were great.

What was also good about this place is that there is a bar to hang out at the back of the restaurant. That enhanced the vibe for me.

Checked out this bar in Chinatown (near the lower east side) to meet up with a friend and their friend from BM. Definitely had a dive bar feel.

Food was ok, but probably would not go out of my way to go there again unless I was in the area. For drinks, mainly just got black label on the rocks.

Great brunch spot for a boozy brunch in New York.

This place has the standard brunch items (ie scrambled eggs, bacon, jalapeño poppers, fried chicken. Of course also got a mimosa, plus an Irish coffee, and some other drinks (haha, wish I could remember).

Vic’s

We went to this restaurant for our first dinner in New York in NOHO.

Overall, great Italian place an vibe. Would come back here again.

For drinks I mainly got an Aperol Spritz. For food, we shared several appetizers, and also each got our own main (not 100% sure what most things below are called, but would heat each of them again).
