Midtown lunch?? Soba Azuma

Fate, in the form of an afternoon concert at Lincoln Center, confronted us with the eternal problem of midtown lunch. ⊕ RIP the late lamented blog of that name. We went to Soba Azuma and studiously avoided the soba. The child inhaled an order of edamame gyoza and asked if there were any more.

Source: Soba Azuma, W. 55th St.

Dumpling type: vegetable gyoza, edamame filling

Modality: eating in, in concert-going clothes

Child rating: 🥟🥟🥟🥟/5

Adult rating: I didn’t get any; kids these days!

The rest of the meal was about what you’d expect in midtown. The concert was good. ⊕ Bruce Adolphe as Inspector Pulse in “Inspector Pulse Takes His Pulse”: inter alia, Bulgarian and Carnatic rhythms.
