BYOB Benefits and a Finale for Coolidge Corner

Sarah and I decided to escape Madeline's tyranny and go out to dinner for an evening. We did take Madeline with us despite her many attempts to sabotage our exiting the apartment including the destruction via milk spit-up of the I love sushi outfit that had been specifically been selected for a night out of raw fish. We decided to go to Tsunami in Coolidge Corner. We have grown fond of Tsunami for one major reason - It is BYOB. The BYOB scenario is perfect for us because it cuts down on the crowds of people who want to overpay for alcohol to impress their internet dates (Fugakyu) and allows us to enjoy a meal where the main cost is the important stuff - the sushi. We stopped at the liquor store around the corner and grabbed two 22 oz. Asahis and were nice and early for dinner. On the way to the restaurant we noticed that the chinese seafood restaurant near Boca Grande was going to be replaced. Plastered on the many walls were advertisements for the new intended tenant that will likely be opening in a few months. Finale, the high end dessert place that was originally downtown and then added a location in Harvard Square is now going to have an outpost in our locality. I am very positive towards this new addition despite my general boycott of decadent sweets. The main benefit is variety and options when wandering about on a walk. Our meal was great and I had to grab another beer before the sushi arrived because we had already downed the original two Asahis. Madeline wasn't too pleased with being awake past 7:30 in an unfamiliar venue so we negotiated with the very nice petite asian female waitstaff for a half of a banana to distract our baby while we ate. Madeline ate banana off of chopsticks and we had a meal replete with a super dragon roll, a one up on the caterpillar roll because it has a sweet potatoe inside of a roll with eel and avocado.
