I can't think of any sushi places, good or otherwise, in the Old Town area. I seem to recall a Japanese steakhouse type place in one of the office buildings along the river between the power plant and King Street, north of Old Town proper. I do not know if they have sushi.

There is this steakhouse (that mnebergall referenced)in the northern part of Old Town-- I have no idea if it's any good, but I used to walk past it fairly often and there never seemed to be anyone there:

Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse

And there is Koto on King St, a couple of blocks from the river. I went a few years ago and was not happy with it.

You might have to go to Arlington. Matuba perhaps?

Mark: During the first year of its existence, Nouveau East had an excellent Sushi chef. He left to help his family with the Tokyo Japanese Steak House, so I have to assume they feature Sushi, and I'd be willing to vouch that if Jeff, the chef from NE, is still there it would be pretty darned good.

and Citronelle

and Sette Osteria

and Timberlakes

BTW Stretch, your wife called last night at 1:45 AM looking for you - I believe you were downstairs hurling in the bathroom at Timberlakes.

I wigged out after Citronelle. I'm not worthy.

I'm also not sick.

Does anyone know if there are still GU-Illinois tix available? TicketBastard's website is being fluky.

Enjoy it while you can...

Well, I guess by this point Mrs. Stretch should be past the hurling point. Now, it's his turn! :laugh:

Isn't there some kind of non-disclosure agreement on eGullet? Don't you, Mr Rocks, as Forum Host, have some sort of sacred duty to uphold?

I will admit that Stretch PM'ed me this morning and asked if I do him the favor of coming over and shooting him. I told him that I did not think that would work to relieve his pain. His headache would survive him.

edited to add: didn't I hear someplace that Strech had a gold medal in Olympic hurling that he won at Lake Phlacid.

I told you that Donnhoff was dodgy. Thanks for the memories, Rocks. Next time I’ll save up the Wallace and Grommit until I’m sitting in your nice, clean car.

No worries, Rocks always leaves his windows down for just such an occation.

Chocolate. Last year they had one with milk chocolate and another for white. Toward the end of the night (after I'd already had my fill of chocolate), I amused myself by getting a couple of my drunker colleagues to try the fondue hands-free and video taping it on my cell phone.

Among my friends, I'm usually the equivalent of the "drunken colleague" so in this situation, it's fun to be the evil one whispering encouragement. :cool:
