Japanese Specials

In NYC, there's a place called JAPONICA right in the heart of SOHO very basic but the best Japanese in town and if you are lucky maybe you get to see celebs such Sarah Jessica Parker. My friends Dina  and Abdel took me there the first time and I have been back.

Porto, one of my favorite restaurants is Gosho , located inside the 5 star hotel Porto Palácio, it is a meeting place for the lovers of great Japanese cuisine. Gosho
