At last year’s ICANN conference in San Francisco I was charged with selecting the theme for our customer appreciation event. Recent parties by others in my industry had included a microbrewery by Directi in Brussels, a pub crawl by Verisign in Boston, and a Yacht Cruise by Demand Media in Miami (drink of the evening […]
If you’re looking for a reasonably priced high-quality sushi experience in the inner Boston suburbs, look no further than New Ginza on Galen St in Watertown. I’ve been there numerous times and whether looking for a quick lunch, or an extended evening with friends, I have never been disappointed. New Ginza is probably the best […]
Note to SakeWorld readers, if you’re ever in Beijing and looking for a good, reasonably priced Japanese restaurant, don’t ask your concierge. I’m firmly convinced all the hotels are in cahoots and concerned solely with sending each other business, regardless of what you’re actually looking for. I was back in Beijing for a conference in […]
On a recent business trip to Paris I made arrangements to meet up with old friend Doug McCarthy for sushi. I have always found Paris to be a tough place for ethnic food. I love French food but most of the cuisines there tend to morph into something between their origin and local fare, and […]
I hadn’t been to Europe since 2008 so I was delighted to learn recently that the summer ICANN meeting this year would be in Brussels. I’ve been pretty behind on posting to Sake World with work being exceptionally crazy so I wanted to make sure to find and write about a memorable sake experience this […]
On a recent business trip to New York my colleague Dave Hauser and I dropped by Robataya in the East Village for a late dinner. Dave is originally a west coast guy where they know a bit about Japanese food so I was looking to show him some of New York’s best. Robatya was definitely […]
It’s had to believe that it’s 2010 and that I haven’t made a post in Sake World since before Thanksgiving! The combination of the holidays, some crazy travel, and an insane year-end at work has unfortunately kept me away from the blog, but the good news is I’ve had several great sake experiences and thus […]
Sakagura restaurant is the reason I love saké. This past week while attending the Ad Tech conference in New York I had a chance to take a couple of clients there. Sakagura is located in midtown East in Manhattan and has over 500 sakés on the menu. I’ve been going there for over five years […]
Best Sushi in Canada – believe it or not…. When I scheduled a dinner meeting with friend and client Bill Sweetman in Toronto two weeks ago, I knew the restaurant would be a good one. To call Bill a “foodie would be a complete understatement. Bill prides himself in being up on the best restaurants […]
Fall in New England is my favorite time of year. The temperature is perfect for outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking, soccer season starts and I can watch my kids remember how to kick the ball again after a crazed summer of trips and vacation, but most of all I love fall because it’s […]
