Duane Street and West Broadway


This is my new favorite food, the ikura mini-don (salmon roe over a bowl of rice) at Takahachi. (The roe are marinated in-house, for this dish, but the recipe, I’m told, is a secret. Here’s one from the food blog Blue Lotus that sounds pretty good.) Takahachi also serves up a delicious agedashi tofu, inventive rolls (king crab with gold leaf, lotus root tempura, soba noodles with salmon skin), and classic, consistent sushi. Ceramics for sale by the front door somehow make the place feel low-key and welcoming.

  2. What a lovely blog you have! So good to hear from someone in London. I woke up this morning dreaming of Borough Market. :-)

  4. Check out the Sept/Oct issue of Inside Out (Australian; home decor mag) for a look at one woman's apartment right above Borough Market. Funky space! Not sure I'd want to live above Borough Market, however. (Except, of course, for the nonstop food opportunities.)
