EGGS `N THINGS

 Came here for brunch and there was already a line and a 30 minute wait.  A long wait was expected so not a big deal. Come early or be prepared to wait awhile. There is retail shop to look around to let time pass by. If not then there are benches along the front of the shop.


 I'm normally put off by restaurants with 1000+ reviews from tourists. I often wonder if the ratings are given for the novelty rather than the quality of the food. But I have to say that I've been to Eggs n' Things several times and I have admittedly enjoyed it each time. 



 I wish I could complain that the food didn't taste as good as it looked in the pictures but it does. I wish I could say the service didn't meet the quality of the food but it did. 



Their pancakes are AMAZING They have different syrups such as Guava, Maple and Coconut. I recommend trying Coconut Syrup which is not as sweet as Maple Syrup.. And you can't go wrong with any of their selections. Their savory breakfasts like their foie gras eggs benedict hit the spot when you're craving for some protein in the morning. When you're fat kids like us and can't decide between a sweet or savory breakfast, get both and you will feel complete until dinner.

AQUA CITY ODAIBA TOKYO

 


CRUISIN` THE BAY

If you want to understand the heart of Tokyo and get much more than a tour... Try this one.





I didn't realize Tokyo had such a intricate waterway. On a trip to Akusaka we decided to take the water bus rather than the train.  It's a nice alternative to the metro and it's a nice way to see Tokyo from the river. It's slow and peaceful and you pass under multiple bridges .  It's sheds a different light on Tokyo...like you are on the outside looking in.


 There appears to be 9 different water buses, so depending on the time of day and the stop, the price and the vessel varies. For example the Himiko only departs twice a day from Odaiba Seaside Park and it seems to be the longest, most expensive water bus to travel on. My advice is to get a timetable in English if you want to ride a particular bus.
 So arguably the Hotaluna ferry boat with its open top deck might be a better choice. A lot depends on timing convenience and the difference may be less significant in that context.
