Japan Week

Japanese food lovers rejoice. Top talent from the cities’ restaurants and imported foods from Japan are on display at Grand Central Station over the weekend, along with chef demos and musical entertainment to celebrate Japan Week. Then from March 7th to the 11th Japanese restaurants around the city are supporting Dine Out for Japan by donating a portion of their sales to the Japan relief fund. Check the website to see which restaurants are participating, and to view dinner deals, like Kibo’s Prix Fixe Dinner for $35. I got to have a preview on Thursday night, and was truly wowed at the style, savory bites of food, and imaginative cocktails.
