The World’s Greatest Sushi Bar

Last Friday, we walked down Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, a stone’s throw from our new apartment, and we passed by what appeared to be a night club. The line was unbelievably long, and the VIP line was also packed. “This must be the hottest spot in town,” we thought. We made a mental note to visit the place in the future; Tokyo Delves sushi bar seemed to call to us. The following evening, we decided to walk by and see if the Saturday crowd mirrored the previous night’s. To our surprise, the line was empty. We approached the bouncer and inquired about the place. He informed us that the restaurant only does three shows a night. It was a little after nine, and there was one empty table left. We also learned the eight o’clock show ended at ten thirty; the restaurant is cleared for the next show. I didn’t want to be limited, but @EFidalgo12 convinced me to give the place a try. We walked in and our waitress, Laura, was welcoming. The entire staff continued to push us towards taking saki bombs, but we finished off a bottle of Jack prior to entering the place. (My apologies to johnnie Walker!) Long story short, we did four saki bombs and the night was amazing. The wait staff is comprised of actors and actresses who perform different singing and dancing acts, throughout the night. (I can’t decide if the NSYNC show or the Beauty and the Beast act was my favorite!) We managed to get on the VIP list for the last show and returned. Great Food, Great Staff, and the time of your life! Everyone is drunk, including the staff, who are encouraged to drink, plus, all of the customers get up and dance. (Many get on their chairs!) I never thought I would find a sushi place that I liked more than Fuji in Quincy, Ma, but Tokyo Delves is the world’s Greatest Sushi Bar! BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

I love the New York Giants! (I don’t want to go to church!)

This week, I will write about an up and coming rapper!

 

I am not sure what else I will write about, but I do know that North Hollywood has the greatest sushi bar in the world. How I ended up on the VIP list with @EFidalgo12, is a mystery to us!

GO Ravens!!!

Thirsty Thursday

Posted by Peter Teixeira on

I apologize for yesterday’s abbreviated post; we arrived home pretty late after hanging out with B. He is our cousin’s cousin, which makes him our cousin. B has been extremely helpful and welcoming. We ate at a bar in North Hollywood, called Big Wangs. (Quick Review: Great food, great staff, and great atmosphere. Great prices as well. This place gets a score of 893,838 on my scale. *Obviously a perfect score is a million!*)

We actually had our first celebrity siting; west coast rapper, the Game, sat across from our table. Other than one guy who had a man crush, he pretty much had a harassment free night. (I wanted to create a fake story about @EFidalgo12 hounding the rapper for an autograph, but he paid me a few dollars to abort the idea!)

The main reason I decided not to write a long post, yesterday, is the fact that I had a job interview. I was excited, except for the fact that the appointment was at 7:30am, Pacific Time! I arrived on time and I feel that I should be hired fairly soon. (For entertainment purposes, the job is with the world’s largest producer of condom wrapper plastic!)

Tomorrow, we’ll honor Thirsty Thursday by having a relaxing day, in preparation for Friday. We plan on spending the afternoon in Santa Monica, where we will add some finishing touches to our script. On Friday, Carlos arranged for us to work for a company that handles all of the preparations for the Golden Globe Awards; the event will be held on Sunday. (It should be an experience!)

     B works for a record label and he gave us a tour of the office. We met his co-workers, who all seemed to be wonderful people. My Boston Celtics Championship T-Shirt definitely ruffled some feathers, but I am a certified Masshole, so I don’t really care what the fans of loser teams think. My shirt did compel one of the owners to break out his replica repeat championship rings from the Lakers’ two recent titles. As a season ticket holder, the team sent him the gift! (The rings were pretty cool!)

Each day we feel more and more at home, here in Los Angeles. Hopefully, we will be able to convince others to free themselves from the East Coast, by following in the tradition of “the prophet” Moses and making an Exodus! (I plan on at least convincing one person to make the big move!)

For our gig on Friday, we had to purchase some specific articles of clothing and while we were in the store, @EFidalgo12 said, “I think I’ll come back for some of these sweaters.” I asked, “for what?” He replied, “they will be perfect to wear to work, in the winter.” I simply shook my head and replied, “this is the winter!” (Sometimes we forget how lucky it is to be far far away from the SNOW!)

Tomorrow will be a brisk 76 degrees! BRRRRRRRRRR! I can’t wait to get out there and spend the afternoon with my good friend, Mr. Sun! I am definitely getting used to wearing shorts in the winter. Who knows, maybe we’ll enjoy a blizzard while we’re at the beach; obviously, we’ll have to find a dairy queen!

For those of you living in areas with cold weather, enjoy the chill. For us, all we have are two seasons: Great weather and it’s pretty nice out!
