Took the company car to be serviced (7,000 miles is close enough to 10,000 miles: we don't drive much), ate at The Rabbit House aka Usagi Ya (yumm)
The name means rabbit house in Japanese, but just don't look for any on the menu; the owners consulted a feng shui master who proclaimed Usagi Ya (uu-sawg-ee yah) to be the best for the space. The warm-hued room features two platform-style pillow-stuffed tea rooms, and a 19-seat sushi bar where sushi chef Hiromichi Sasaki produces about 30 sushi and sashimi choices, plus about 40 maki and special maki rolls.
and then wandered around Pulaski Park.
