After my last run-in with an Asian avocado salad, it’s pretty much a guaranteed order if I see something similar on a menu.  And although tonight’s avocado salad was completely different, I enjoyed it just the same.

I ventured to the other side of 23rd Street for the first time in ages to check out a place I had never been before, Boru.  And to tell you I was weary when I approached the entrance is an understatement.  Loads of paper signs posted on the window reassuring you a place is open, well… it isn’t very reassuring at all.

I could have lived without the eel roll pictured above, but the tuna nigiri met my sushi expectations.  The wasabi stuffed center was a nicely welcomed, spicy surprise.

On the way back to the hotel, I stopped and bought a bottle of red to celebrate my last night away from home.  For various reasons, I’ve missed home a bunch during this trip.

What do you miss most when you’re away from home?
