After eating however many courses at Daniel the night before, CK and I again couldn't make it out of the door before noon. We didn't think it would be very wise to go out for another huge meal so we had already canceled plans our 10PM reservations at Peter Luger for dinner.
About 2PM we finally made it back out again to go to another spot I'd been waiting to try since I saw it on an episode of Anthony Bourdain's Food Network show "A Cook's Tour." Barney Greengrass has been in New York for over 100 years and is famed for their smoked fish and other deli favorites. Bourdain goes so far as to claim that Barney Greengrass is home to the best chopped liver in the universe.

Over the 3 dishes and a couple of bagels and bialys we decided to go out for some late night yakitori and take it a bit easy on the eating for the evening. That was easier said than done.
The following is the "light eating" that occurred that night and into the next morning....
When we got to Yakitori Totto at about 10PM it was still packed. After suffering through some of the worst karaoke known to man next door at the unfortunately named "Japas" (for Japanese Tapas, we assumed), we got the call and sat down to eat.
Tako Karaage
Negima
Teba
Tsukune
Kawa
Gyu tongue
Eggplant Miso
Shishito
Bacon-wrapped asparagus
We were thinking of ordering more food, but we already felt like we ate everything on the menu that we wanted to try.
Not completely full and fueled by some Sapporo-aided gusto we agreed to continue eating at Sake Bar Hagi.

Pork belly, chive, and beansprout stir fry
Hamachi Kama
Chicken Karaage w/ daikon oroshi and ponzu

Yeah......So.......We didn't really take it easy.......Oh well.....I don't think either of us really expected to anyway.
