Japanese stores - a photoseries by ME

There isn't really a Japantown/ Little Tokyo in New York (sadly)... but near NYU is a block of restaurants that are Japanese. I walked around the block and took photos of the storefronts.

It's not really Japanese but it was on the street

It's not really Japanese- it's a library

Oh I see...  nice name XD

SMH @ the caricature of Japan!

Clearly not Japanese... and questionably authentic

Highline

The Highline is an abandoned railway that turned into a park in 2009. It's a great place to get a view and it's calm~

NYPD realness~

Chinatown

So I went to Chinatown/ I've BEEN going there! I go there for the food. I'm not adventurous in terms of food-- it will be my motivation to go somewhere, but once I know what I like, I will keep getting it!!! AKA comfort food. It's just relaxing and I like nothing more than being able to relax with a basic meal. XD Basic as in predictable but tasty. But sometimes I do branch out.

My meal consisting of iced tea and noodles

Restaurant where my meal was served

This is Chinatown, indicated by the Chinese characters!

Can you tell?
