With a new sushi restaurant opening in Danville last month I’ve been wondering what special sushi restaurants are nearby. To be honest my favorite sushi restaurants are in Manhattan but I’m always on the lookout for a good one around here. What is your favorite sushi restaurant? What is your favorite type of sushi? Mine is uni.

Park Plaza, Lafayette
The new Park Plaza development in downtown Lafayette is turning into a veritable mini Ferry Building with news from Diablo Dish that a new shop called “The Store” will be opening featuring, “artisanal, prepared foods to go… run by a collaboration of folks from San Francisco’s Ferry Building food complex.”. This is in addition to the gluten-free bakery Mariposa opening next door which also has a location at the Ferry Building.
Although the photo above looks like two separate stores if you look inside you’ll see it’s open inside so I wonder if it will take up both spots. Stay tuned…
Willows Shopping Center
A new through-way connector has opened at the Willows Shopping Center in Concord connecting the back and front parking lots making it much easier to drive and walk around. See the before shot here.

Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Check out the latest progress on Macy’s in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek. Compare to the reddish tiles on the old Macy’s. Which style and coloring do you like more?
