WEEKLY NY TIMES UPDATE NO. 2



On one of our last nights in Tokyo our newfound friends led us up through the quiet hills and alleys of Ebisu, through the doors of an apartment building, up several flights of stairs, and into a living space that I would love to have called my apartment; only it wasn't an apartment, it was a bar. Apparently such places, found through word of mouth and in dark alleys rather through advertising and drink specials, have become evermore popular among Tokyoites tired of Rappongi techno-blaring bars like Gas Panic. At least The New York Times thinks so.

There's also a short article that I've yet to read on Bali, which is somewhere on the short end of my list for where to go next.

And if you're wondering what to do the next time you're in Atlanta, try this. They are right on with the Starlight Drive In recommendation, but I would recommend the Atlanta History Center over Cyclorama, and the downtown Hilton, owing to its proximity to Trader Vic's over any of the hotels they suggest.
