The Strokes Style
Last night, I totally forgot to mention last night.
Good fun. I managed to get a tiny bit of shopping done (ie, some DVD-Rs so that I can continue to mercilessly pillage my local video store and illegally copy their movies) and a new shower curtain, because, well, I needed one.
After my little shopping adventure (in the sense that choosing a shower curtain constitutes an adventure) I met up with Ayaka and after some token indecision, we headed to an izakaya for some vittles. I prophesised only a week or two ago that I would revisit the Doma Doma near Yokohama station, and lo and behold I did.
Mmmm... Tasty.
Our two hours being up, they kicked us out and we went to Tavern - which has rapidly become my favourite bar in Yokohama, even if there were a bunch of louts shouting at the Premier League on the big screen. After a drink there, Ayaka realised that she had a coupon for cheap drinks at a new Irish pub nearby, so we tracked down The Green Sheep, and proceeded to make use of aforementioned coupon. As we made our way there, I noticed a couple of pretty interesting looking bars and restaurants nearby, which I think I will check out next time I am out in that part of town.
The Green Sheep itself was pretty quiet, I guess word about it hasn't got out much yet (well, and it was a Monday night) but the drinks were refreshing, and while we were still stuffed from dinner, they did appear to be serving our fellow patrons some fairly appetizing looking dishes. I have long had trouble finding a good bar/restaurant review listing for Yokohama, and the way things are going, I might start my own. I certainly seem to be doing the required bar/restaurant sampling a fair bit of late.
Hmmm... If I can work out a way to get free food/drinks and/or money out of it, it might be a goer.
