If you want to get your onsen on near Tokyo go to Hakone for sure

Yeah man that's how it is in JP they charge by the # of people staying there. A single for 2 people will be tight, you're better off payin a few extra thousand yen and get a double. Never been in Tokyu Stay but I have been a handful of other hotels and a single even for 1 is dreadfully small unless you staying in a five star.

Yeah hit the weekly mansion. you may need a friend to help you book a room but it's best bang for the buck. There is no maid service but there is a kitchen. The size is bigger then a hotel single. The one I stayed at had a washing machine/dryer too.

MLC is the shit! Took it out twice once for a 9 day and then for an 11 day international trip. Packed a extra duffle in that piece for stuff that i bought abroad.

No problem. I would suggest to make reservations for both restaurants.

Go to "Dim Sum" in Happy Valley best meal I had while there.

Heading out to HK and looking to have some bespoke suits made. Anyone have any recommondations for a tailor over there? Looking to spend about $500 per suit. I have heard many of the foreign celebs going to Sam the Tailor to get fitted.

Can anyone recommend a good tailor in NYC? I need a few jackets taken in and finding a good tailor by me is hard.

Thanks!

Has anyone stayed in the Excelsior Hotel located in Causeway Bay? How is that area for nightlife?

I have a choice between that hotel and Kowloon Hotel located in Tsim Sha Tsui. If I remember correctly the Kowloon hotel is connected to the Harbour City mall. Which would be the better choice between the two?

Also any recommondations on general nightlife would be appreciated. Lounges, bars, clubs, restaurants, ect......

Thanks!

How much were the bags at union?

Not in Kanto but I just went to Rinku Premium outlet in Osaka shopping there is ma-ma. They had some nice kicks at New Balance and Nike. Nuttin but crap in Beams, UA, Ships......

Do take a stroll on Marble beach though across the highway, berry berry nice.

LA Ave is in Kitchijoji

Yeah those are the joints I was talking about.

I seen them for a while but haven't checked the spots recently.

They shouldn't be hard to get.

I seen these all over NYC. You are from NYC aren't you? Well if you are you can cop at Adidas Original Store, DQM, or Bloomingdales.

I got one called the Captin Stag for 10,000 yen in Olympic Discoutn Store in Ogikubo. You should check out Don Quijote too.

There was just a thread on this a while ago.

Good looking out! I'm always down for a "Oishii" bowl ramen.

I'm good on the Tokyo scene but thanks for the offer.

Just looking for some bars, lounges, clubs with good vibes in Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe areas. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be thankful.

Reminds me of Skit and LA Avenue in Tokyo. Simple design but the product speaks for itself.

Yeah I read an article on that. They want to target the strip mall type areas. On a side note there fleece products are also quite nice for the price.

Where in Jersey? Uniqlo is actually a Japan based company.

I stayed in Hotel Nikko for about $120US for a double. It was a promotion. Not sure if there are any now. I guess you can call them.
