John Hancock Center at 875 North Michigan Avenue in the Streeterville area of the Near North Side in Chicago, Illinois, is a 100-story, 1127-foot[2] (344 m) tall skyscraper designed by structural engineer Fazlur Khan of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.[3] When completed in 1969,[4] it was the tallest building in the world outside New York City.

Image by santheo
The restaurant’s name really is Korean Restaurant. They’re open 24 hours a day, and they’re only 1.5 blocks from my house. Amazing food.
Sadly, we learned as we were paying up, they’re closing in two weeks, as their building is being torn down for condos. This makes me terribly sad, and may require us to have another mass outing to send it off in style.

Italian is an unique food in Niigata.
It is actually no relationship with Italy.
That is a chinese fried noodle with meat sauce. For people in Niigata, meat sauce was so sophisticated that this original food was also regarded as imported food.
焼きそばにミートソースをかけたもの。新潟のジャンクフードの定番のようだ。未体験。
