Dennis, a friend and I went to Nobu in New York last month and I’m just processing the photos now. This place is absolutely delicious. Everything we ate was amazing and I highly recommend trying it. Service and drinks were both great. The black cod (pictured) was sweet and savory and [...]

Dear Floppy Hat,
Though you weren’t my first, you were certainly my favorite. You were made of nice thick felt and I loved you’re caramel color. Every time I put you on, I received at least 1 compliment from a stranger without fail. I will never forget the day I found you. [...]
