Oh rain rain … it’s good to have you here because it has been uncomfortably hot, humid, and muggy this past week. But why did you have to ruin my Saturday plans? I was going to go to the craft show in Union Square and then have some yummy drinks…

This is a restaurant review that I’ve been meaning to post for a while now. We went to Sushi Teq back in March on one of those nights where we tried to get into another restaurant but the wait was over an hour and a half. Tony had heard good…
