Konichiwa, Irving-san


Very fitting that Washington Irving's home
now houses a Japanese restaurant —
I'll bet you didn't know that he was a big
sashimi fan. In fact, the working title of
his most famous story was actually The
Headless Hirame. (Unfortunately, he was
way ahead of his time and nobody got it.)
