Thanx Giving-(*`・U・)ノ♥

Burger at Jackson Hole!


It’s Thanks Giving holiday now! Our School is closed! I’m so happy★

We don’t have school for a week so I went to Manhattan on Wednesday with Azusa. We left dorm at 7:45 am because we wanted to have a breakfast in Manhattan. We arrived Grand Central St. at 9:00 and took a subway to Bleeker St. Then we went by a cab to Clinton St. Baking Company. I think I always go there when I go to Manhattan. I love Clinton♡! The restaurant is always crowded, but it was a weekday so there wasn’t crowded. We could take a seat without waiting. I ordered brioche French toast and Azusa ordered pancake with banana and walnuts. These were soooo good as always! We ordered hash brown to share. It was good too. We had good time!

Then we went to Chelsea Market. It was the first time that I went there. I went to Fat Witch Bakery that came to fame by their brownies. They called their brownie “Witch”. I bought Fat Witch (the original brownie with a moist intense chocolate taste), Fat Witch Walnut (the original baked with walnuts), and Java Witch (original with cappuccino chocolate chips) for souvenir. And I bought Fat Witch Baby (small Fat Witch) for myself. It was delicious. Then we went to Ronnybrook Milk Bar. The casher was very friendly so I bought a bottle of milk. It was rich and good. I wish our cafeteria served Ronnybrook Milk Bar’s milk… I wanted to eat their ice cream but I was full up so I didn’t eat that. I will eat next time! Next, we went to Sarabeth’s Bakery. There was filled with a sweet smell of bread. I bought assorted jams for my mother.

After we left Chelsea Market, we took a cab to Jackson Hole. Their hamburgers are so famous that there is a restaurant named after the restaurant in Japan. The restaurant in Japan appears in my favorite comic so I knew the restaurant and I wanted to go there. I ordered New York Burger. It was an ordinary hamburger but very good! But I couldn’t eat them all because I was full with Clinton’s dishes so I wanted to go there again.

Next, we went to Karaoke Box. I hadn’t gone to Karaoke since I came back to US in this September. I got tired from just two-hour singing. I felt aging...

I got upset when we had dinner. We went to Totto, a Japanese yakitori restaurant. When I googled the restaurant as a preview, I found lots of comment that said “Their attitude to customers was terrible” “Their dishes were same class as pub in Japan”. But I guessed it wasn’t so terrible so I thought it didn’t matter. But when I called there to make a reservation, a woman said “You can’t make a reservation because we are always crowded”. Her way of speaking was disgusted me a bit. When we entered the restaurant, a manager glanced at us and seated us in a seat that was nearest to an entrance even though there were empty seats and other customers were seated in inner seats. I felt something strange. When we left the restaurant, Azusa said she felt strange also. We ordered some dishes. These were so-so. Not bad. But a waitress cleared dishes one by one as soon as we finished each. She sometimes cleared dishes that we didn’t finish without asking. Another waitress spilled water close next to me and my bag got wet, but she didn’t say anything. I thought the comments that I had seen on the Internet were true. I will never go there again (´;ω;`)!

We’re planning to eat HotPot (鍋) in Manhattan next time! I‘m looking forward to going to Manhattan soon!

I think it's strange that you would go to a restaurant that has a bad rating. Those ratings are usually earned (and therefore true). But I guess maybe from now on you'll believe the ratings you read.
