Hankering for Tanpopo

Even more so than most restaurants, Tanpopo makes a neighborhood a nicer, livelier place. When we first saw our condo, it was a chilly overcast Friday night in March and our real estate agent pointed us in Tanpopo’s direction. The restaurant combined the exoticness of Japanese cuisine with the comfort of soup (noodles in broth); the place was packed with people on dates, and groups of students, but also people who stopped by, by themselves, after a hard work week.  Tanpopo seemed somehow central to what the neighborhood aspired to be, and we were sad when it was forced out of its building. Our loss has long been Lowertown’s gain, and when we ate there Saturday night, we noticed that it is kid friendly.
