Unagi Festival at Mitsuwa Marketplace July 26, 2012

If sweltering NYC summers have you feeling a little hot and bothered under the collar, snag some Unagi (eel) on July 27th to celebrate the Day of the Ox at Mitsuwa Marketplace. In Japanese culture, on "Doyo no ushi no hi" (Midsummer Day of the Ox) it is customary to eat unagi (eel) to restore vitality and stamina for nocturnal extra curricular activities.
Load up on this Vitamin A packed fish at Mitsuwa Marketplace, right across the Hudson in Edgewater, NJ (www.mitsuwa.com). The store will be running specials on the potent protein from July 26th until the 29th. Hop on the Mitsuwa shuttle bus from Port Authority Bus Terminal running every 30 minutes. Even better the shuttle will be FREE on the 26th so you have no excuse to not stock up.
