An average night out with the dudes on foods...

So, the dudes on foods wanted to go out for a nice meal on a random Wednesday night. These meals are usually spur of the moment and below is an example of our average conversation:
Dude #1: So, how's your day going?
Dude #2: Good, how's your day?
Dude #1: Good. Enough chit chat. I've been thinking about sushi all day. We're going to Sushi Yasuda. 6:30pm for 6. Do it.
Dude #2: Done.

This Wednesday, we 6 dudes were thinking about toro, aka fatty tuna, and our coordinates led us to Sushi-Ann, a formerly great sushi restaurant. Ordered the omakase (aka chef's choice) and a bottle of sake, but for some reason the sushi was average. Even though we had about 15 pieces of sushi per person as well as apps, we were not satisfied and realized our quest for dinner must continue.

We narrowed down our choices to more sushi, steak, or yakitori (grilled japanese food). Makes sense no? We set our coordinates for PorterHouse, Yakitori Totto, and Faces and Names for some mini burgers. NY is so great, since a walk to all three places are less than 10 minutes from each other. Unfortunately, all three places had a 40 minute wait which makes NY not so great.

Where to go after we've been c-blocked three times...you know what the c stands for. Only one place made sense for our cravings - LAN. Lan is a solid Japanese restaurant that always delivers. Somehow we convinced ourselves the 20 minute walk nullified our dinner at Sushi-Ann. Makes sense no? Any who, 2 1/2 hours later we finished our meal that consisted of steaks, shabu-shabu, pork belly, beef cheek, fois gras pate, multiple servings of chicken skewers, and desserts. Oh and just to let you know, we also got our toro craving satisfied with toro and charred toro...an average night out with the dudes on foods.
