Sushi Family

At 6:50pm, the restaurant is empty. Both young men are playing with his cell phone, one behind the counter and one in the dinning hall.

I order sushi, sashimi and roll platters – deluxe @ $48. The rolls are huge, must have been hamburgrized, very unappetizing. The salmon sashimi tasted dated. Won’t return.

Oyster Bay ice skating center

It’s pretty huge, pool, four tennis courts, play ground, a nice little cafe.

A lovely neighborhood wine bar. They serve the best mustard. The prosciutto and Spanish ham are super tender and delicious. Love their brick walls and art works on them – one of it looks rather like Hillary Clinton. Whatever.

Bordeaux is the lightest, all good tho:

  • 2012 Rocaille, Syrah langue doc-roussillon France $11
  • 2014 rascal, Pinot noir Oregon $10
  • 2013 Chateau Allegret, Bordeaux France $11

The first thing I spot is the wine sign: Save Water Drink Wine which is identical to this at Chez Napolèon.

Ivanka Trump is just here, out of a limo and into the building. The merchant ship Peking is being restored elsewhere.

Peking left New York

A wonderful piece on my beloved Peking by New York Post.

Manhasset Valley Park

This little park has been updated and kept nicely. Ball fields are usually busy with kids as well as adults.

~ In 2021

The parking lot is used, often, by Equinox health club goers. It works out just fine because the park is mostly vacate in the morning, which is the busiest time at the gym.
