Some places in #NYC are just great beyond description. Siberia was recently reopened. If you don't know about it - Google, it has a long history. And now you can meet the founder again. He is amazing!

Tried to find a good omakase after disappointment with Yoshino (pretentious and overpriced). I guess I found one: Kun Tsuki is reasonably priced, friendly, interesting and tasty.

New York is amazing. This was taken some time ago, but something serene about this picture keeps me smiling.

Speaking of missing phone features: physical shutter for the front camera would be nice. Some are still putting stickers on it, you know...

What is your #onlyinnyc moment? Not one that cannot happen anywhere else, but the one that you associate the most?
