Ok maybe not because this restaurant has been there for a  while but many Terps probably did not know about it.  So I decided to check out Hanami as I kind of was tired of eating out at the same places along route 1. Hanami is a Japanese restaurant located along Baltimore Avenue opposite to University View. So, on a windy lazy Sunday evening, I went to Hanami for dinner with a friend of mine, who loves sushi. I had not tried Japanese cuisine before so was kind of nervous and not sure of what to order. At the same time, I was excited as you never know; I might end up digging Japanese cuisine just like Thai. The ambience in the restaurant was calm and relaxing; perfect place for a dinner date. We decided to try out dragon balls and octopus legs for starters. My friend did most of the ordering as he was more knowledgeable on Japanese cuisine. The service was good and we had the starters served to us without much wait.

My initial observation was the presentation. The food looked delicious and I hoped it tasted the same. However before all that could begin, I had to figure out using chop sticks. I tried my best at using them and eventually gave up as am pretty sure given the rate I was going, we would not be able to complete our dinner by the time the restaurant closed. So, I swallowed my ego and requested for a fork and knife and the waitress gave me a smile which said it all. Round 1 of starters was good. The dragon ball had a very unique taste and the avocado flavor made it all the more exciting and enjoyable.

Round 2 of main course meal was an interesting combination of dishes. My friend had got a sushi platter (Sushi & Sashimi Combo) which had all the different types of sushi (5 pieces of sushi & 12 pieces of Sashimi and 1 California roll) you could imagine and it looked great.

I went for the more traditional noodles with egg whites, shrimp and chicken (Nabe Yaki Udon). Apparently noodles are an integral part of Japanese cuisine, which was good to add as a Wikipedia entry in my brain. The sushi was first rate and fresh. If you like spicy food like I do, try mixing wasabi (the green thingy) with soy sauce. It has got a very unique flavor and spice. A word of caution, you may either love the paste (wasabi + soy) or hate me for the rest of your life. However, that is the same thing with Sushi. Some people dig it; while some can live without it. After having successfully tried the sushi, I tried to finish my huge bowl of noodles, egg whites, chicken and shrimp. However I was so full, I could not finish my meal. The bill was kind of expensive but for the food we ordered, it was fair.
Overall, Hanami offers great sushi and decent Japanese food. You should definitely check it out and post your thoughts about experience as comments to this post below.

P.S. fun factoid about Hanami is its BYOB “-“

Beyonce Knowles did it for all the “Single Ladies”.  But biggest of all, she did it for the “Single BABIES”.  Watch Video below that currently has 3 million views.   This is a craze that is exploding on Youtube with up to tens of millions of views and all over the country.

Beyonce Knowles has made a song that is appealing to babies almost on the same level as the Sesame Street jingle or Barney’s anthem.  Hundreds of thousands of babies are loving them and the reason is simply explained HERE on Time Magazine’s website.  Babies loves drums, repititions and women’s smiling faces?  Thats it?  Is this why babies all over the world are dancing to “Beyonce’s new Single BABIES anthem”?

Watch the most popular video of them all below.  This video led to a new website created by the father of the baby known as SingleBabies.com …WOW!

Well the list speaks for itself, with some movies grossing as low as $19,000 opening weekend. Yes! i said $19,000 only. Some of them even had HUGE actors and actresses involved. Jon Voight made the list with a movie that will leave you asking “What was his movie agent thinking?”

Yahoo Finance website put together 10 Huge companies that are facing a serious problem. BANKRUPTCY! For their management and investors, this sucks real bad! But for us, this could be great news. Discounts will increase to push sales and rentals and sales prices might drop very low.

If you are planning a trip anytime soon or trying to do some last minute shopping (or like some of us that just travel and shop a lot) Look out for specials from these two locations before checking anywhere else!

And hurry because you don’t want to feel the same way i felt when i walked into Circuit City stores 1 month after their announced shut down and found nothing but some USB cables to purchase at MEGA-Discounted prices.

Good luck Macys and Hertz but i’ll be heading your way this week!

 Is one of them Sprint Nextel?  NOOOOOOOOOO!
