Kenka Izakaya - St. Mark's Place, East Village

Ume onigiri: $3.50 (for 2)
I spent a really long time trying to figure out which rice balls I wanted, vacillating between ume, yaki, and miso yaki. Hopefully I can try them all at some point. I've been disappointed in the past by yaki onigiris (EHEM Gyu-kaku) which is why I decided to go with the ume. LOTS of ume, more than what you'd get at Famima, almost too much. They're pretty big, and one order gets you two!
(In the background are David's yakitori = $4/4 skewers).

Tonkatsu: $5.50
Delicious, perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. No sogginess, but I wish they'd given a better dressing (not just a slice of lemon) to go with the shredded lettuce.


Dessert! Cotton candy: free!
They give you a small cup of pink sugar with you bill. You go outside where the machine is, turn it on, put your sugar in the middle, and spin a chopstick around the outer edge till it puffs with cotton candy ^_^. Not so good for short people though as the machine is hard to reach at certain points T_T.
