There is a Patisserie Ceci Cela near my apartment. Their croissant is the best in New York! 家の近所にセシセラというお菓子屋さんがあります。彼らのクロワッサンはニューヨークで一番美味しい！ Because of the COVID-19, there are so many homeless people on the street. The shelter for the homeless also needs to do the social distance. Many of them can’t stay there. Thus, the homeless couldn’t enter to …

About ten years ago, her restaurant had a fire, and NYFD did not give her work permission over a year. However, at last, her restaurant came back to our community. Her …

I went to a drug store to get ダン蔵’s drug. The opening time was shortened because of Coronavirus. However, I grateful that they still open their shop. If he couldn’t have his drugs, it would be a crucial problem for him. ダン蔵の薬をもらいに薬屋さんへ行った。コロナのせいで開店時間が短くなった。それでも、開けていてくれる事に大変感謝している。もし、彼の薬が手に入らなかったら大変な事になってしまう。 The shop person looks a little tired. But, they are so nice and …

Amazing. What that pink flower? Is it Sakura? Under this sick dull NYC could have such a beautiful bloom! Thank you universe. おい、ちょっと待て。なんだ、あのピンクの花は？桜か？この、腐った鈍いニューヨークの空の下にも美しい花が咲く。宇宙ってすごい。 Given the current health concerns, we might be all negative, but, 現在の状況を考えると、私たちは皆、鬱になりがちかも、でも、 This coffee that I had today made me happy. The heart was never broken until the end. And the very …

This is a ramen restaurant near my studio/gallery. It looks like very popular. I never eat here yet. Once I went there but at that time so many customers made a line. I gave up immediately when I looked at the line. これは、私の仕事場兼ギャラリーの近くにあるラーメン屋さん。すごく人気みたい。私はまだここで食べた事はない。一度行ったけど、お客さんが列作ってたから、それ見たらすぐあきらめた。 I pass this restaurant often when on my way from my apartment …

My favorite post office near my studio/gallery. Nice people and a variety of stamp collection. 私のお気に入りの郵便局。私の仕事場兼ギャラリーのそばにある。働いてる人々が親切だし、切手もたくさんの種類があって選べる。 I never collect stamps. I have no patience to collect stamps. However, I have been visited Liechtenstein once. The country is famous for its stamps. まあ、切手収集の趣味はないけど。そんな忍耐力、ないだけなんだけど、でも、切手で有名なあの国、リキテンシュテインに行ったことがあるよ。 I cooked maybe minestrone. Actually, I don’t know how to cook minestrone. But, …
