Taipei Tokyo

[sekala.livejournal.com]

I ate a Taipei Tokyo for the first time last night. It was wonderful! It's not really take out Chinese but more upscale sit down. The interior is very comfortable and warm(though I imagine it could feel crowded when full) and their presentation from tea, to sushi, to their plated food was lovely. I had the pad thai (not Chinese I know, but it sounded good) which was delicious and light, my friends who were with me had a fried tofu/sauce/broccoli and a chicken/sauce/broccoli combination(I don't know exactly what they were). Both agreed that they were very tasty and better than a lot of the Chinese they've had in the area. Over all it was a great experience. We were surprised to be the only people in there around 6. Go and give it a try.

This store is awesome. I'm very happy with the quality of merchandise and I wish them much success in Davis Square.
I bought some amazing jewelry, a Davis Square shirt, a box of almond soaps, a "Lucky Pennies" sign for my back entry and a few other things.

Just like any new business, it takes time to work out the kinks, house a good inventory and find a balance of creating the vision that is in harmony and compatible with the neighborhood and the market. And so far, they're doing a great job. I'm looking forward to popping in on a regular basis. They are friendly and helpful, and I'm going back!

And even if you're not in the market for buying something, you have to check out the switch plate on the wall to the left as you come in the door. It's the coolest copper design. It's official, I'm in love.

A Davis Square fantasy moment...

I was walking by the x-rental car place (name...?) next to the Rosebud and wondered what might become of it and thought wouldn't it be really great if...there was a DANCE there - like swing or maybe even SQUARE DANCING with a not too loud live band and little tables around the perimeter, strings of little twinkly lights along the fence. Just really casual and village-like and fun.

If I was on the planning board things would be a tad different around here ;-)

art supply store?

My roommate and I are trying to find a good local art supply store to hit up for some stuff to use for Halloween costumes. Anyone know of a good one around here? We do have cars available to us, so if it's not quite T-accessible, that's fine.

Thanks!
