After our long days in Tokyo we liked to go upstairs to the New York Bar & Grill for nightcaps.
It had nice cocktails and a live jazz band every night. They were v good.
It is one of my favourite places in Tokyo.
The view at 52 storeys high is pretty amazing too ! It's where they shot Lost in Translation as well. If you have seen the movie you might remember the scenes in the bar?
I wore this Kirrily Johnston kaftan style dress. It is such a good travel dress because it is crinkle style so no ironing required! WOO!!
Anyway, here it is!
It's pretty heavy. I get neck pains wearing it.
I might have a sensitive neck so don't let it put you off if you were thinking about getting on.
I wore my hair up this night because it was quite late and no time to get ready.
I think it makes me look like a boy. It's a very rare sighting of me with hair up. Haha!
UM Who are these 2 people? Giants??!!!
This is huge !!!
It's seriously like a dessert plate for 8 !!
I'm not complaining. We smashed it.
Ha ha ! It did take about an hour though.
I think this was strawberry ice-cream and kiwi fruit gelati. I'm not 100% sure. D correct me if I'm wrong.
I love fresh mint though. I always eat it and D freaks out because he thinks its for decoration only.
Meh!
It was nice though.
I would say this was the least nice of the 4 because its nothing special really.
Just a bit of chocolate and flour.
Meh
Hahhaha
With the flash off it creates the weirdest photos if there is movement.
I look like I'm doing some sort of karate action.
Here is Pachinko. I've never played. It looks boring to me.
D makes a nice little cameo there on the left.
This shop sold so many random things. It was open 24 hours.
On our last trip to Japan we had to make a emergency suitcase purchase at midnight and it saved my ass. Thank you penguin shop!
I have to get back to Mothers Day duties.
I just wanted to post today because I realised it has been a little while since the last one.
Hopefully I will be able to finish the Japan posts this week!
Hope you all have a lovely Mothers Day!!
Freaking awesome photos homie! You've made me so, so, soooooOOOoooo excited to go snowboarding in Japan land. Plus the food, Hamish is dying to check out the food there. Thanks for your lovely comment, I'm all good, it's just a bittersweet feeling. I think I'm going to go to Common, my peep's doing support for the Brizvegas show and is hoping to get support for the Melbourne show. Woooo hoooo! ♥
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I absolutely adore Lost in Translation. When my bf and I went to Tokyo last year we went to the New York Bar, I loved it :) I so should have had that dessert, I would have gobbled it down so fast! Love your necklace too, is it the same one that 's on the front cover of Frankie this month?
ReplyDeleteLoving your Japan photos :)
Woah I love the pics - the one of you two in the reflection is awesome. You look like a pair of hard-ass assassins. Your man has awesome tatts too :-D
ReplyDeleteomg omg omg omg. the necklace. i want to go to Japan NOW.
ReplyDeleteOh, the heavy necklaces ... I just passed over a heavy necklace to my mother today because it makes my head tingly after a while. :(
ReplyDeleteD is quite brave, showing off his tatoos in Japan! They must have thought he is a member of the Yakuza. Did he ever have any problems at an Onsen? In capsule-hotels they have this no-tatoos-policy because they don't want to interfere with Yakuzas under no circumstances.
This dessert-plate looks like a nice dinner. These are the reasons why it feels good to be an adult: I can eat what I want, where I want, when I want :-D
I would not mind if the Japan-postings continued!
Eeep! I love those Make Believe necklaces. Trying to con someone into buying me one for my birthday haha. That dessert plate looks delish. All your Japan photos are making me want to book flights over pronto. Pity I just wasted a buttload of money on Splendour festival tickets.

I love love love that necklace! They didn't have red orses perchance? Cos that would rock. Your photos are amazing. I wanna go now!
ReplyDeleteDuude. I meant red roses.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know why I'm getting all these comments in Chinese lately?
ReplyDeleteIs it just spam?
Lola - I haven't seen Frankie this month! I'll have to check it out.
So glad you loved new york bar !! its a really nice vibe with the music!
KittyMeow - Thanks! I will tell him. I should take some proper photos of his sleeve one day and post about them!
Paula - I think at the park hyatt they would be used to tourists having tattoos. the staff were very nice. they are mainly young so they would understand.
he wasn't allowed in the hotel baths though, because of the tattoos!
miss aimes - i dont think they have red. I'm not too sure. they have white, black, pink, dark pink and blue from memory.
they might do red next season tho! it seems like an obvious choice right? hopefully they will do a red! it would be nice!
love the necklace x
ReplyDeleteI love your ninja in the lift pic! And that cheesecake, are you trying to torture me?
ReplyDeleteI see that D. went to Bape. LH went there too, and in typical fashion, managed to buy the blandest most Country Toad like thing they had - a navy hoodie in a waffle cotton texture! I hope D. got something more exciting.
PS yes, your chinese comments are spam - they link to porn.
ReplyDeleteOh WOWZERS you have an awesome eye and camera. Your photos are so asthetically pleasing as my art teacher used to say. Oh also that necklace your wearing suits you to a T !
