Sidewalk to sushi

Out for 1st Thursday in the Pearl was more about being out and about than the art galleries. The cow told me to read the bricks. Huh? I looked down and along the sidewalk there were bricks with quotes. We walked along and I said, "there is one by Bukowski" and the cow said "I think I saw one from Miller." I turned around and started taking a few pictures. The cow believes that any town that would have quotes by Bukowski and Miller is a good town to call home. We wanted to have a drink and ended up in this kitchy sushi joint in the pearl. We sat upstairs in the bar and were told we COULD NOT eat up there. When we said we just wanted a drink the bartender calmed down a bit. Watching the frantic pace was fun. I love the size of that sushi roll the chef is working on. We walked around a bit until it got dark and went for the real sushi at Takahashi - it is an institution. We had a bit of saki and a few bites.
