Sushi Yama is now open on 3rd. That is, it’s open most of the time. As you may have seen on Twitter, it is closed on Wednesdays, when they head over to get fish in Seattle. (Sushi.com was still good though.)

Review of the week is of Left Bank Wine Bar which is getting thumbs up from the after-work crowd. Word has it that they’re struggling a bit later at night, so check them out.

After 2007’s Summer of Campari and 2008’s Summer of Bad Beer, we still haven’t officially come up with an beverage for 2009, though Pimm’s is a frontrunner. Any suggestions? (Oh, and it’s also Summer of Dream Pop, but that’s neither here nor there.)

Here is my wish list for the Summer of 2009:

Servers and bartenders, stop touching the rim of my glass when pouring drinks.

If you are going to wear gloves, change them after every order. Just because you are wearing latex gloves doesn’t mean you are protecting me. I don’t want your nasty looking, two hour old gloves touching my food. I will tell you to change them so don’t cop an attitude.

Last year I did the summer of Pimm’s and I was disappointed. It wasn’t what I was expecting (refreshing) and instead was too sweet. I tried it with both lemon-lime soda and ginger ale. I must say that I don’t like most pop though because it’s too sweet, so that may have been the culprit. I will give it another chance this summer with lemonade.

I haven’t come up with a summer house* beverage for 2009 either, any suggestions?

*as in summer at my house, I don’t have a separate summer house.

I did a summer of Pimm’s and Arak. But, we mixed the Pimm’s with (real) iced tea and cucumbers. It was refreshing. We just added lemon and water to the Arak.
