It was 25F outside, but that didn't stop this cat from having a grand old time on the hood of this parked car. He would lick the hood, then tumble around.

I don't know what he was tasting, but it must have been delicious. I'm just glad his tounge didn't stick to the metal.

It looks like a toy in this photo, but I think that really is an actual NYPD Impala hanging off the ceiling for this production. Or an extremely lifelike replica.

I think the appeal of places like Ichiumi is as much to look at food as it to actually eat it. Either way, you'll have fun.
