Mike and I came here one Friday evening after a coworker mentioned he had a really enjoyable experience here. The restaurant is located on Queen, between Church and Jarvis. Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly hostess who brought us to our table. The dining room was dimly lit, a stark contrast to the bright open kitchen in the room next door. There was a large opening to the kitchen which had no door so we could see the chefs preparing our meals.
Thinking that Aunties and Uncles was located right on College, Mike and I almost missed this place! It’s actually located just off of College, one block west of Bathurst on Lippincott Street. Since we had a late start to the day, we arrived just before two, one hour before it closed.
My co-worker and I were wandering around Greenwich Village until around 9:30 when we became really hungry and tired. She had tried Morimoto the week before and really enjoyed it, so she suggested we give them a call to see if they could accommodate us. I wasn’t very optimistic, since it was a Friday night. They told us they didn’t have any tables until 11 (I love how everything in NYC is open so late!), but said there were a few spaces available at the sushi bar. Since they don’t take reservations for the sushi bar, we quickly hopped in a cab and made our way over.
I had purchased a coupon from one of those group-buy sites a while back for Raa Uptown Japanese, so I decided it was finally time to give it a try. The restaurant opened up recently, maybe a few months back and is located near Yonge and Sheppard. I think it used to occupy a previous Japanese restaurant, if I remember correctly.
Another one of those times where a restaurant is well worth the hype! Mike and I finally made our way to the Burger’s Priest on a hot Monday evening. After being stuck on the hot street car for about 20 minutes, we arrived at Burger’s Priest – a tiny burger joint with six stools and no air con. Although it was pretty busy, we were able to grab two stools as a couple was leaving. I’m pretty sure I smelled of fries and grease after leaving…
