Burgers. Dogs. Steaks. Maybe some sausages. We know you've got the grilling part of your Labor Day cookout covered. So rather than mess with that, we'll offer up some delicious sides that will complement whatever else you have on the menu.Start with the salad. In place of the classic potato salad, we created a squash and apple look-alike. The inspiration for this was the Waldorf salad, which dresses a mix of chopped apples, celery and walnuts with a mayonnaise dressing. We kept all of that, but lightened the dressing with yogurt and added squash and plenty of fresh herbs. Next up, round out your meal with some seafood. We grill up some curried shrimp kebabs and serve them over a salad that is one part guacamole, one part fruit salad. The combination of chopped watermelon and avocado is surprisingly refreshing and delicious. It's a fine side, or even a lighter main.
Butternut squash and apple Waldorf salad
Makes 6 servings
1 pound butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
3 tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Jazz, cored and chopped
3 ribs celery, chopped
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the squash and boil for 5 to 7 minutes, or until just tender. Be careful not to overcook. Drain immediately and spread on a rimmed baking sheet to cool completely.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, chives and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Gently stir in the apples, celery, walnuts and cooled squash.

Curried shrimp kebabs with watermelon-avocado salad
Makes 4 servings
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons curry powder
16 ounces large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cups diced watermelon
2 avocados, pitted and diced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons lime juice
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
20 ounces cocktail tomatoes
Torn fresh basil leaves, to serve
Pecorino cheese, to serve
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar and curry powder. Add the shrimp and stir to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
2. Just before you're ready to grill the shrimp, assemble the salad. In a medium bowl, gently combine the watermelon, avocados, scallions and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the grill to medium-high. Use an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs to coat the grates with oil.
4. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, adding a cocktail tomato every few shrimp. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes, turning once or twice for even browning. Serve the shrimp and tomatoes over the watermelon and avocado salad. Top with torn basil leaves and crumbled Pecorino.
Nutritional analysis per serving: 400 calories, 22 grams fat, 30 grams carbohydrates, 28 grams protein, 175 milligrams cholesterol, 370 milligrams sodium, 11 grams fiber, 50 percent of calories from fat.

More Info: Hawks are opportunistic feeders and will scavenge if a chance presents itself. While most species prefer live prey, some species of hawk, such as the red-tailed hawk, are more likely to scavenge than others.
Hunting Technique
Hawks are solitary hunters that prowl during the day. With eyesight twice as good as a man's, hawks use their specially-adapted wings to make sharp turns while in a dive. They prefer to dive onto prey from a perch and will in fact choose habitats with numerous high perches over those with more available food. Unlike falcons which capture prey with their beaks, hawks catch prey in their large talons. They then carry their prey back to a perch to behead and consume. Small prey is swallowed whole, but with larger prey, they begin feeding on shoulders and ribs.
Preferred Prey
Scavenging hawks are not picky eaters, but when hunting, they choose small, defenseless prey. Smaller birds, rodents, amphibians and lizards are their most common marks. If hungry enough, larger hawks will be a little more ambitious. Capable of carrying up to three times their weight, hawks will hunt jackrabbits and small domesticated animals like cats. They are even known to pluck the koi out of koi ponds.

Here"s what our Toronto guest said after staying the entire month of March 2014
Hi Mike,
Wanted you to know that we have had a fabulous time building family memories this past month. Both our daughters were here with their little ones at separate times, but it was so much fun watching them enjoy your place and the beach. Two of my sibblings have been here this past week and we did a lot of birding etc. Great memories. Last night a dolphin came up the channel!
Everything has been as you said it would be. We've taken good care of your home.
UK Visitors May 2014 Said,
From the moment We made our first enquiry about Widgeon Cottage a year ago, owner Mike could not have been more helpful. We stayed for a week with our 2 sons and their wives, so the 3 double bedrooms were the perfect combination for us. The cottage has all the facilities needed to make for a great vacation, and I'm sure we used them all. We were particularly impressed with the free wifi, laundry facilities and the numerous chairs, tables and sun loungers outside including a selection to take to the beach.The mid island location was superb, with just a short walk to the beach with its beautiful white sand and The Outrigger Tiki Bar for sunset drinks. We also walked to Charlie's Boat House Grill for dinner one evening. We rented bikes and cycled up and down the island, from Times Square to Lovers Key (enjoying delicious ice cream from Kilwins on the way,) The pool at the cottage was delightful and especially welcoming on the hot and sunny days we experienced the entire week. For us though, the best time was spent on the boat dock. We fished, relaxed and saw the most amazing sun rise. A week really wasn't enough.

Visit the Edison Ford Summer home in Fort Myers and see where these two moguls as well as the Firestone family hung out. Fishing in the gulf is outstanding with lots of charters minutes from the home, or rent your own boat for the week or a few hours and explore the back bay or cruise around the island (park right at our dock). Take a short drive to Naples and view the mansions and there famous downtown...great for the art lovers. Need more night life than Fort Myers head to Miami's famous South Beach just a couple of hours away or take in a day to tour the Everglades. If that isn't enough just four hours to Orlando to visit Micky Mouse and beautiful Disney Land. A great place to start or end your vacation. You can also go to Busch Gardens in Tampa for a great day. This is a great centrally located destination on the gulf.

Within 1 mile is Santini Plaza where you will find wonderful shops, outstanding restaurants from the top seafood restaurant in the area to casual sports bar with great pizza - and they deliver pizza too! Never Leave the Island: Ft Myers Beach is an all inclusive island, you will never have to leave if you don't want to.
Take a short drive or take the trolley system for .25 and head up to Time Square for some dining and dancing or some great shopping. Hit the beach for a walk do a little shelling (remember don't bring home a live one it's not legal)and watch the dolphins fish or the pelicans diving for fish or do some fishing yourself (no fishing license required at pier downtown) or simply plop down in the sand and just relax and watch the world go buy. You may even see dolphins or a manatee or two in the canal in front of the home. What a thrill.

Vince McMahon posted a picture of himself in the gym on Twitter.
Now that she has given birth, Taryn Terrell has started working out, in order to get in shape for wrestling again.
Since he has one of the most impressive physiques in professional wrestling, an industry filled with well toned bodies, Scott Steiner has been asked for years about his workout program, so the former WCW star released a fitness DVD, which teaches beginning, intermediate and advanced level people.
A dark horse candidate to induct the Ultimate Warrior into the hall of fame is Sgt Slaughter. The two of them have a history together, as the latter was the one that transitioned the WWE championship from the former to Hulk Hogan back during the early 1990s.
While there was some heat on Sargent Slaughter within WWE for comments he made about Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan, it appears that both sides are now on good terms again. Things were rather cordial and friendly backstage when he made an appearance during the Old School edition of Monday Night Raw.
There are those within WWE that are really upset with Sargent Slaughter right now because of his comments during a recent interview about the company not treating and utilizing Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler properly.
"I don't think he's [Bryan] being treated fairly. [The people at WWE] are making him work awfully hard to be successful and he's not letting them down. He's working harder than ever. He's like a giant slayer. He takes on the biggest and the best. Kind of like Dolph Ziggler -- he's another talent I thought he wasn't being used right, and I brought it up in several production meetings that they shouldn't do his character as they were."
Sargent Slaughter was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his long time friend Pat Patterson.

2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 Problems
Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.
Lack of audio or cell phone functionality may be related to the failure of the audio gateway module.
2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 Questions
Is the battery in the front under the hood or is it in the rear in the trunk (boot) area?
2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 Recalls
Due to a manufacturing defect, a crack can develop on the fuel filter when the vehicle is operated in high temperatures. This crack can result in a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the fuel filter to correct this concern.
Forty-one vehicles may have a front engine pulley that was manufactured with an insufficient adhesive where the inner mass damper ring attaches to the vibration damper. If the inner ring were to separate with the hood open and the engine running, personal injury could result. Dealers will inspect and replace the affected parts to correct this issue. This recall is expected to begin during April of 2011.
Mercedes Benz is recalling 2010 C-Class, model 204; E-Class, model 212; and 2010–2011 E-Class Coupe/Cabriolet, model 207 vehicles due to a loss of power steering fluid that could result in power steering system failure. Owners may not have sufficient control of the vehicle in areas like parking lots, thus increasing the chance of a crash. Dealers will check and re-torque the connection fitting, free of charge.

Bought this 2011 E350 last month. 42k miles. She's a beaut. I have owned Merc diesels in the past and was looking for a Bluetec, but settled on the V6 4Matic. I love this car's looks, everything about it. I've missed having a Mercedes for a number of years. I owned an 'E' class in the early 80's that was a 4Matic and almost bankrupted me for that very reason. This go round, I purchased a...

Om's Al Cisneros is a cosmic explorer of the highest order, the kind of guy whose every musical effort is one more step along a spiral path to ... ultimate truth? Ultimate beauty? Something too ultimately primal and sacred for the guy who writes picks in L.A. Weekly to even comprehend? If ever anyone could peel back the veil of reality with just an electric bass, a killer drummer, a new guitarist and aspirations toward the infinite -- which means songs that unfold like fractals, revealing just the tiniest glimpse of forever -- it's gonna be Cisneros and Om. They're basically mantra incarnate, as the name suggests. It's heavy like a flower is heavy, man -- and if you get what I mean, you're already in the front row of this show. --Chris Ziegler
Tuesday, February 19
Tomahawk is composed of Mike Patton (Mr. Bungle, Faith No More), John Stanier (Helmet), Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard, Unsemble) and Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantômas). Like their namesake, they're heavy, powerful, even animalistic. Tomahawk repurposes and rebuilds in ways never before imagined, incorporating everything from metal to Native American influences. Their music feels chaotic, even when it's making sense. The madness of wild drumming, squealing synthesizers, solid guitars and heavily distorted vocals comes together like a stellar collision that is simultaneously violent and alluring. --Diamond Bodine-Fischer
Rainbow Arabia, Ryat
As their name implies, Rainbow Arabia create an ebullient, electronic-based sound that's mixed with exotic strains of Middle Eastern and North African influences for a combination that's truly unusual and engrossing. Actually, the husband-and-wife duo (keyboardist Danny Preston of Wiskey Biscuit and singer Tiffany Preston) prefers the term "ethnotronic" to describe the funky mélange of clattering percussion, chanting voices, slinky guitars and thumping synthesizers. Either way, there's no one else in L.A. making music quite like this, with Tiffany's airy vocals darting in and out of the beats like a trilling bird while Danny pumps out throbbing dance-floor grooves. The electropop diva Ryat also has a heavy, percussive sound that's layered with her ethereal vocals and shiny synthesizers. The enigmatic track "Superficial Friction" is simultaneously arty, freaky, poppy, danceable and febrile. --Falling James
Wednesday, February 20
Warm Soda
Oakland's Matthew Melton is the man of a thousand riffs. He's played with at least three or four bands, each of which has delved successively deeper into the world of the almost-punk outfits who played fast but weren't ever gonna give up their guitar solos and harmonies. Stiv Bators of The Dead Boys was the main dude for this sorta thing, with a solo album that was basically one evil boy's take on Cleveland legends The Raspberries. Melton's got just the same style. His newest band, Warm Soda, writes songs that are dripping with hooks and heartbreak, but which still go roaring along just like classics by The Real Kids or The Nerves. Debut single "Reaction" is basically as perfect as it gets -- plenty of pop, but plenty of power, too. --Chris Ziegler

On June 1 the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, the Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships Centers at the Corporation for National and Community Service, and the Department of Education sponsored the second in a series of three webinars. The webinars are designed to provide resources for colleges, universities, and community colleges as they prepare plans to participate in the President's Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge.
Over 400 higher education institutions responded to the President's challenge. They are in the process of preparing plans that make the vision for interfaith cooperation and community service a reality on campuses across the country. Students at participating institutions will participate in a year of interfaith and community service programming. In the spring of 2012, there will be a gathering at the White House to celebrate their accomplishments and encourage institutions of higher education to make interfaith service a reality on all campuses.Learn more about Education
Watch out for the D.O.G.S.Posted byon June 14, 2011 at 12:01 PM EST
Yesterday morning, we hosted Secretary of Education Arne Duncan at Two Rivers Public Charter School here in Washington. Secretary Duncan was at Two Rivers to check out the WatchD.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program. Have you heard about WatchD.O.G.S.? It's a national program in over 2,000 schools that encourages fathers to volunteer at least one day every year in their local school. These dads are having an extraordinary impact. Check out the pictures below, and find out how to start or get involved in WatchD.O.G.S. at your neighborhood school.
As you know, fatherhood in America is one of the passions of President Obama's life. He grew up without his dad, every day he goes home to two beautiful little girls, and he calls his role as a father "the most important job I have." Far too many young people in our country grow up without their father, and when dads are not around, young people are more likely to drop out of school, use drugs, be involved in the criminal justice system, and become young parents themselves. For the past two years, we've been working with partners from around the country to impact fatherlessness in America, and we'll have some exciting news about new initiatives this week.
So stay tuned – and check out the WatchD.O.G.S. below!

First Lady's Joining Forces Call with Faith and Community Leaders Generates Momentum and Interest in ModelsPosted byon June 10, 2011 at 8:35 AM EST
Phone calls and emails inquiring about the Partners in Care program have been numerous and daily since the Joining Forces conference call with Mrs. Obama last month. I have been encouraged by this tremendous interest and desire of faith communities and organizations across the United States to offer support to military members, veterans, and their families.
When asked to be a speaker for the Joining Forces teleconference, I was both humbled and honored to be able to explain to other faith communities and faith-based neighborhood organizations across the United States how the Maryland National Guard's Partners in Care initiative could offer a model to channel support to those in the military community.
Dr. Suzan Johnson Cook Sworn-In as New Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious FreedomPosted byon June 3, 2011 at 11:14 AM EST
Yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presided over the swearing-in ceremony for our new Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, Dr. Suzan Johnson Cook. Ambassador Johnson Cook has had a distinguished career working for religious freedom that she will bring to bear in her new role as our Nation's advocate for religious liberty around the globe.
The issue of religious freedom is an important one for this Administration. Last month, the President spoke to this integral issue: "Such tolerance is particularly important when it comes to religion. In Tahrir Square, we heard Egyptians from all walks of life chant, 'Muslims, Christians, we are one.' America will work to see that this spirit prevails -– that all faiths are respected, and that bridges are built among them. In a region that was the birthplace of three world religions, intolerance can lead only to suffering and stagnation. And for this season of change to succeed, Coptic Christians must have the right to worship freely in Cairo, just as Shia must never have their mosques destroyed in Bahrain."
As the chief spokesperson for Religious Freedom at the State Department, Ambassador Johnson Cook will have an integral role in implementing the President's policies throughout the world. She will also be a key advisor to President Obama and Secretary Clinton regarding matters of religious freedom. I am excited to work with Ambassador Johnson Cook as we promote opportunities to increase interfaith dialogue and cooperation, and Americans can be proud that we have such a bold, stalwart advocate for religious freedom advancing our ideals abroad.

Job Clubs & Employment Ministries: On the Front Lines of Getting Americans Back to WorkPosted byon May 26, 2011 at 5:49 PM EST
Preparing 20th century workers for the 21st century workforce; these words describe the mission of Tuesdays with Transitioners, a job club run by Jennifer Oliver O'Connell at the Congregational Church of Northridge in Northridge, CA.
This week, I had the opportunity to hear first-hand how job clubs like Jennifer's are helping Americans get back to work during a roundtable event organized by my department's Center for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships (CFBNP). For example, Jennifer utilizes social media and the latest technology, including tools such as LinkedIn to train all of her job club members how to network.
The event also marked the launch of a new project by the CFBNP to reach out to the many job clubs – also known as career ministries, network groups, and work search roundtables, among other names – across the country and link them with the public workforce system, including DOL's network of 3,000 One-Stop Career Centers.Learn more about Economy
Joshua DuBois Highlights Administration Support for Foster Care Adoption at SummitPosted byon May 26, 2011 at 10:54 AM EST
Today, there are more than 114,000 children in foster care waiting to be adopted. These are children who entered foster care through no fault of their own, and deserve a family as much as any other child.
Fortunately, organizations around the country are working tirelessly with the Obama Administration to make sure every child has a loving home. One of those organizations is the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and their Wendy's Wonderful Kids program. Earlier this week, Joshua DuBois spoke at the 2011 Wendy's Wonderful Kids Annual Summit in Columbus, Ohio, and shared with them President Obama's commitment to improving the lives of youth in foster care.Learn more about Working Families

Critic Roger Ebert called Facets Multi-Media one of Chicago's greatest film treasures. The group has been creating quality film programs for kids since 1975 and organizing the Chicago International Children's Film Festival since 1983. Today, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, presents recent highlights from the festival at MFAH Family Flicks: Best of the Chicago International Children's Film Festival. ''There is a thriving global community of filmmakers creating short films for younger viewers,'' said MFAH Film and Video Curator Marian Luntz. With films from the U.S., Brazil, Sweden, Ireland and Canada on the schedule, the screening takes audiences on ''a cinematic tour around the world,'' she adds. ''We'll be presenting them with English voice-over narration where needed, because some younger viewers won't be able to read subtitles, but the stories are universally appealing.'' Standout titles include Japan's Domo-Kun and the Egg, starring the popular Japanese mascot, and Colombia's Nineteen, about a young boy who finds friendship after winning a baby chick in a raffle.

I wish I could remember the first gay person I was aware of. My own realization didn't start to form until I was a teenager, and as someone born in the early '80s, there weren't many gay people on my radar in terms of movie and TV characters. Sure, as an adult I can look back at some of the movies I loved as a kid and see some fairly queer characters, although they're mostly Disney villains. One doesn't automatically relate to a fey, evil, slightly British tiger, after all. … Read More

Your Weekly TV News Roundup: Rob Lowe Remembers the '90s, Andy Samberg Returns to 'SNL'
The television world moves so fast that by the time you learn of a show's premiere, it could already be canceled. It's hard to keep track of the constant stream of television news, so Flavorwire is here to provide a weekly roundup of the most exciting — and baffling — casting and development updates. This week, Meg Ryan joins How I Met Your Dad, Andy Samberg returns to Saturday Night Live, and Ellen DeGeneres gets a design show. … Read More

They're playing it safe this year with Ellen DeGeneres, who is making her return to the Academy stage after a seven-year hiatus.

25 Years of Oscar Hosts, Ranked
The perceived success of Oscar night hinges on many factors — how dull the speeches are, how interminable the musical numbers are, whether Debbie Allen is involved, etc. — but no element, it seems, is more important than the host. A good Oscar host has to be something of a miracle worker: they keep the show moving, react spontaneously to whatever clusterfucks occur (and they always do), rib the royalty but only gently, and make the night edgy enough for home viewers, but not too edgy for the Cryptkeepers in the audience. Many have tried, but only a few have succeeded, so in anticipation of Ellen Degeneres' second run at the job, we've ranked every Oscar host from the last 25 ceremonies (save 1989, which had no host). … Read More

'Female Force' Comics Celebrate the Lives of Powerful Women
Yesterday, Blue Water Productions unveiled, via The Huffington Post, the newest cover star of its Female Force series: the legendary Gloria Steinem. She's the latest in a long line of powerful female thinkers, writers, media figures, and politicians to have gotten the comic book series' biographical treatment. "Our goal is to show the behind-the scenes machinations — many of them ignored by the mainstream media — that resulted in Gloria Steinem becoming a leading voice in emerging women's rights movement," Blue Water publisher Darren G. Davis stated in a press release. "A visual medium provides perspective that is not only accessible but more relatable to the average person without losing any of the information involved." Here, we look back at some of Female Force's other empowering covers. … Read More

Best sake bars?
- Robb S Apr 24, 2007 10:24 AM
I'm going to New York for a few weeks in May, and while there I thought I'd check out some sake bars and izakaya with good sake. I'm mostly interested in places with a nice selection of sake by the glass (rather than by the bottle).
From searching on old postings, I get the impression that the best places to check out are:
1. Sakagura
2. Decibel
3. Chibi's
4. En Japanese Brasserie (on Hudson Street)
5. Kasadela (which seems to get mixed reviews)
Are any of these gone, or not worth the trip? Anyplace else of similar quality?
Also, any events coming up? It looks like I just missed a big 50-sake tasting event at En.
SAKAGURA is my fav, but i just went to EN for happy hour at the bar a couple days ago and it's pretty great...bonus being the happy hour of course. they also have lots of soju varieties, house flavored sojus, drinks, food and even a new japanese rice beer too that they just got in recently (i forget the name, but its not hitachino and it was good).
Hello Robb. Sakagura definitely tops the list in my experience. They have a large selection, a sommelier, and they've got good food as well. It's upscale. I haven't been to the En here in NY, but it's an outpost of the chain from Japan.
Wow, you have a wide range of scenes there. I ADORE Decibel, but it's not for everyone (i.e. not for my parents and probably not for your parents). It's kind of a self-consciously divey dive bar, dark, underground, with graffiti on the walls. Sake selection is very good and they have great tapas style food.
En is very posh. It's a beautiful space, sake listings are also extensive and higher end. It's hard to do a side by side comparison, but they seem to be stored better than at other places I've been. (For one thing, they have normal sized bottles instead of the magnums that Decibel favors.)
I've *heard* really good things about Sakagura, but have never been.
Blue Ribbon Sushi isn't necessarily somewhere I'd send people for sushi unless it's late at night and you REALLY want sushi, but the sake list has some really good selections on there. Stop by if you happen to be in the nabe.
re: nyufoodie
It's on my hit list--thanks. =)
Decibel is very cool loud scene and the food can be surprisingly good. I like Chibi for quiet and oysters and Japanese trail mix (what's it called again?)
Robb, I think that most of the usual suspects have already been mentioned and I have to agree that Sakagura is top of the pile in terms of range and quality of selection and you can certainly sample plenty by the glass. They do very good food there as well.
A couple of places that have not been mentioned are:
* Aburiya Kinnosuke - I would call this a modern style izakaya, food and sake selection are both very good (I was there last night and you can do all of their sakes by the glass/small carafe, I had an enjoyable nama "arabashiri")
* The bar in the Hotel Alex, next door to Aburiya. They have a list of maybe 10 sakes and I'm fairly sure that you can do most of these by the glass.
* Sake Bar Satsko, Alphabet City - small venue with a food menu and a good sake list, a couple of which you can order by the glass. They recently opened a second outpost on the LES but that doesn't have a liquor licence as yet.
* Haru Sake Bar, UES. Never made it there but as the name suggests, it has more nihon-shu options than the average place.
To be honest, you'll be surprised how widely available sake now is in NYC, for example in some of the more upscale restaurants, they generally have 3 to 4 sakes in their wine list and even unlikely venues carry the stuff e.g. Swift's Hibernian Lounge which is more of a pub.
In terms of shops which have specialist sake collections check out Landmark Wines & Sake, Astor Wines and Ambassador wines. Landmark has reasonably frequent Friday night tastings so may be worth giving them a ring to find out about upcoming events at their store or elsewhere.
I love both Sakagura and Kasadela - in that order - En was too stuffy and cold - partly because of the huge stark space and was overpriced in my opinion. Decibel is good but grungy and the food options not as great as the others imo.
re: Robb S
One other place comes to mind - the relatively new Kyotofu which is at 9th Avenue between 48th and 49th Streets. It's predominantly a dessert bar (and I believe is the first overseas franchise of a Japanese chain) but they have a very decent range of sakes including some nama options. They also seem to have various events going on - last week for example they had somebody from the Masumi brewery coming in to do a talk and offer some tastings.
It looks like I was wrong about missing En's sake tasting; it's happening Tuesday May 15, 6-9pm. Admission is $60 in advance, $70 at the door, and includes appetizers to nibble on.
