Ironically, I once sat next to a native Japanese citizen (which, another irony, they stated I was one of the few westerners who could listen past their native accent), and their opinion of Sora was rather... unfavorable.

Not being a sushi gourmet, I rather enjoy the food. Sit by the consourse, and watch the crowd. Just ignore you're across from the bathrooms.

Never at in the Westin. I hear it's nice.

Coney Island is a suprise for most. Almost all foods are fresh, and prepared on-site to order. You just have to know what and how to order.
