Dinner in Connecticut

Restaurant: Sushi California in Newington, CT

J is on the interview trail for Residency and sometimes I get to tag along with him. Today's stop? Farmington, Connecticut. I brought my laptop so I could get some studying in, but after a long drive studying just isn't happening. What did happen though was sushi. There's always time for sushi!

On the recommendation of Yelp, I checked out Sushi California. I tried the Crazy Girl roll because it was apparently the best ever. I was hoping to enjoy a five star sushi experience like my beloved Taka back on Long Island, but it wasn't to be. Was it good sushi? For sure. Was it out of this world? No. But, as you can see from the picture, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

It was about half gone before I remembered to take a picture.

The Best Sushi in Oyster Bay

Studying Time: Four hours

Restaurant: Taka Sushi

We've been here many, many times. Each time we have been impressed by the high quality of food and the good service. I love getting the bento box because it comes with a whole lotta food. Every roll we've had has had a great taste and amazing texture. If I was asked what restaurant was a must visit in this area, I would DEFINITELY say Taka. Even though it's in the shittiest little strip mall you could ever come across. J came home from the hospital today and asked if I was feeling sushi. Hell yes, I'm feeling sushi. It made my cold feel much better. ;) 

Engagement Pictures {and sushi!}

Restaurant: Sushi Gallery Brooklyn

J and I went over to Brooklyn to have our engagements pictures taken. Our photographer was really nice and kept us laughing. Afterwards, we were starving (I took four hours getting ready and skipped lunch. I know.) so we stopped by a small sushi place. Sushi makes me so happy. Just thinking about it is enough to make me hungry! There are so many varieties and combinations that vary from place to place, but our favorite is always a roll with eel on it. This particular place had a delicious dragon roll with spicy mayo and eel. I don't know how authentic that is, but it sure is good. This place wasn't as good as our favorite Long Island sushi joint (Taka), nor was it as good as our favorite Lake Elsinore sushi joint (Hana), but it was good and definitely hit the spot after a long day!
