If I leave the clubs early I have to take a cab and for some reason, I guess to save a little money, I walk over to NHK and catch one over there.

It looked interesting so I took a picture to remind myself to try it out. http://blog.greggman.com/restaurants/ja/2004-05-23-dexee.htm restaurants 2004-05-23T19:00:00+09:00 http://blog.greggman.com/restaurants/ja/2004-05-15-carne-station.htm Need a cheap meat fix?
