Happy Sixth, Rain

Six years ago, a couple of sushi chefs, Takashi Ogasawara and Jennifer Douglass, decided to leave their day jobs at Wasabi Bistro in Belltown and open their own restaurant here in Wallingford. Since then Rain Modern Infusion Cuisine, as it's officially known (and "Rain Sushi" as everyone we know calls it) has managed to carve out a hip, urban and creative niche amongst the many sushi restaurants Wallingford is blessed with (and we're not just saying that because they sport a…

The Oasis Art Gallery (3644 Wallingford Ave. N) has a one day show this Sunday, November 7th, 3 - 6 pm, featuring the work of 5 talented youth from the area.

Wallyhood’s Reader Meetup

When I joined Wallyhood last year, I discovered one thing quick:  Wallywriters are a fun buncha people. I mean, there aren't many folks who can collectively whip up a specialty cocktail featuring a small-sized Dicks' vanilla shake mixed with Cointreau and then use that tasty treat as a springboard for brainstorming. It's been a lot of fun writing alongside my neighbors and, as the year passed, I've seen quite a few readers who join in our daily conversations. Many times I…

More stretch for less

Back in June, I wrote about Sutra Yoga (1605 N. 45th St.)--the cozy little neighborhood yoga studio sandwiched in between the 45th Street Clinic and Sutra Restaurant.  Well today, Chris alerted us to Tippr's daily deal for Sutra:  $20 for three weeks of unlimited classes. Twenty bucks!  Normally, I pay $65 for a 5-class card! Grab the deal folks, because this is one of the best discounts I've seen so far.  Better hurry, too--the Sutra Yoga offer on Tippr ends in…
