Post Tokyo Visit
Hey all
I know I don't post here very often any more but I am off to Tokyo on Feb 20th (this is only my second trip first was last year in feb) main reason is record buying but I'll be on my own this year so I wondered if any of you fine folks that have been before had any recommendations for things to do (My record shopping is mapped out)
Food, Drinks & interesting stuff appreciated.

Moog pretty much said it all. Personally, I went to Shinjuku to check out Square Enix and the Capcom Cafe, but not sure if that's your steez. Also, Harajuku on Sundays, though pretty nuts with foot traffic, is super rad to walk through. Especially Takeshita Alley outside the station. Yoyogi Park is a really nice, calm walkthrough, as well. I'd also recommend Nakano Broadway. Akiba and Shibuya were my most visited spots, though.

Also, see one of the bi-weekly thread where people ask the same thing. :P

I know. There used to be a dedicated thread about where to go etc. It's out there somewhere.
