			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.afcsushi.com/menu/sushi/spcysalm_1.jpg" alt="Spicy Sushi" align="right" width="144" />Since I posted about the <a href="http://adamkaras.com/blog/2005/11/20/best-sushi-in-hoboken/">Best Sushi in Hoboken</a>, I should mention Lower Manhattan as well. Had a very nice Spicy Roll Combo for lunch last week from Kokura, which really hit the spot, and at $13 for the 12 pieces (4 small rolls), it was a pretty decent deal for the Financial District, especially being next to Stone Street. But here are my local top favorites:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://newyork.citysearch.com/review/7091351/849618"><br />
Kokura Japanese Restaurant</a><br />

<p>[Update Sep-06]<br />
Had a nice Spicy Roll Combo from Kokura. Wanted to suggest the upstairs if you go during lunch, very loud downstairs during the peak.</p>
<p>Koodo is the next to try, thanks for the tip bpm!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://billweinsteinacupuncture.com/newsletters/newsletter_index.htm"><img src="http://billweinsteinacupuncture.com/images/shen.jpg" alt="Access to Acupuncture" width="200" align="right" /></a>Last week I tried something I have been interested to do for years now&#8230; I had an acupuncture treatement. I won the session at a health fair at the office, so I really had no excuse not to try it. </p>
<p>So I got eight needles stuck in: my feet, forearms, shoulders, and temples. I can&#8217;t say they hurt much, but the one in my right foot and left forearm were a bit sensitive and I felt my muscle stiff where the pin was. I had to hold my left arm slightly awkward so I had the muscle tense, and hense didn&#8217;t relax. But my feet and arms were &#8220;wired&#8221; together in a figure eight to help the energy flow. All in all it was very relaxing and I felt great after the experience.</p>
<p>Bill Weinstein is classically trained in Acupuncture and can speak to the holistic and eastern aspects of it, which I have always been very keen to know more about. I&#8217;m very interested in finding out what sort of impact it will have with me. I also learned I have a &#8220;damp tongue&#8221; which I find intriguing and will require its own post. </p>
<p>Bill <a href="http://billweinsteinacupuncture.com/">has a website</a> and newsletter &#8211; <a href="http://billweinsteinacupuncture.com/newsletters/newsletter_index.htm">Access to Acupuncture</a>.</p>
<p>Some Acupuncture Treatments:</p>
<ul>
<li>Headache</li>
<li>Stress &#038; tension</li>
<li>Insomnia</li>
<li>Allergies</li>
<li>Asthma</li>
<li>Infertility</li>
<li>Pain &#038; Arthritis</li>
<li>Carpal Tunel</li>
<li>Smoking cessation &#038; weight loss</li>

		<description><![CDATA[Best Sushi in Hoboken: Sushi House Of Hoboken, Robongi, Illuzion ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://sushilandusa.com/image/sushi/sushi42.gif" alt="Spicy Tuna" align="right" width="100" />Hoboken has some of the best restaurants in Northern New Jersey and is a great place to check out new foods. Especially during the last five years or so, since there has been an addition of trendy manhattan-like places. Here are my top sushi eateries:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://hobokenx.com/review/hob18681.htm">Sushi House Of Hoboken</a> &#8211; This replaced the Weary Epicurean that had some interesting semi-pornographic mannequins in the window and lasted I think 6 months at most. Sushi House is a much better addition to &#8220;downtown&#8221; and has the best sushi in Hoboken. Minimalist and modern decor and off the Washington Street beaten-track, on First Street. They do a great job with the presentation and had fresh ingredients with very unique rolls. The spicy rolls actually had a kick. I have been here a few times in the year plus it has been open, and have not been disappointed, with either the food or service. BYOB.</li>
<li><a href="http://hobokenx.com/review/hob17943.htm">Robongi</a> &#8211; On Wash &#038; 5th, Robongi also has wonderfully tasty sushi with great presentation. The Spicy Tuna and Spicy Scallop were excellent. My big disappointment though is the decor, with fish nets and plastic fish hung from the ceiling. If the food wasn&#8217;t so good, I wouldn&#8217;t return. And on a small nitpick, they provided cheap Chinese-takeout chopsticks for a sit-down dinner, which turned me off.</li>
<li><a href="http://hobokenx.com/review/hob18873.htm">Illuzion</a> &#8211; Located on Wash &#038; 3rd, this place also has a minimalist and trendy decor. Favorites were the Alligator,  Angry Dragon and Italian Stallion, but overall I would of liked a bit more of flavor and definitely more kick. BYOB.</li>
</ul>
