At first glance, Japantown appears to consist of a large pagoda and an unattractive indoor proworld peru shopping center. H id- den inside these cement blocks, however, are good, inexpensive proworld peru Japanese restaurants and some inter esting shops. The Peace Plaza, with its flat, cement waterfall, is also a nice place for kids to stretch their legs. J apantown sponsors two festiv als ev ery y ear, the Cherr y Blossom F estival in A pril and the Nihonmachi Street Fair in August (see chapter 2 for details on each).
What could be more democratic than a f ood court? Having a wide variet y of options r educes strif e f or families with diff erent tast es, which is just about every family I k now. Also, kids have fun waiting in the line of their choic e and exercising a bit of independenc e. In the Union S quare area, the Crocker Galleria at 50 Post St., at Montgomery Street, has a terrific food court on the third level, open M onday thr ough F riday until 6pm and Satur days until 5pm. I t s always packed at lunch with offic e workers seeking a quick, inexpensive bite. At the Fountain Caf you ll find breakfast bagels, eggs, and baked goods in the morning and sandwiches and bur gers at lunch. Get a chili fix at Chili Up; the different versions come with tortillas or corn bread. You ll also find counters for Leila Mediterranean Cuisine; 360 Degree Gourmet Burrit os; Chaat C af !, with great I ndian take -out; New A sia Restaurant; and N iji Japanese Grill , among other international options. To avoid the rush, arriv e before 11:30am or af ter 1pm and grab a table in the light-filled atrium.
