I hope none of my fellow tops have considered hooking up with this guy. People who block laws that would have advanced the rights of trans people don't deserve to be topped.

I've been trying to find some good restaurants to go to when I visit Tokyo around New Year's. I live near Nagoya, which has a few good western dining options, but isn't quite so good for Malaysian, Burmese, or Middle Eastern. I generally find Gurunavi and Tabelog overwhelming unless you're searching for one specific area and/or with specific conditions to narrow the results down to a reasonable level, so I've been more interested in blogs and other sites with curated content. Here are a few I found, so please comment with any others you know.

Niche Dekae Blog site featuring posts about restaurants that mainly serve more difficult to find cuisines such as Kurdish, Persian, Ethiopioan, and regional Chinese and Indian. Search Ethnic Features information about "Ethnic Cuisine" (which in Japan seems to refer exclusively to South and South East Asian food). Includes information about restauants abroad and in Japan.

I live in Aichi, and I'm planning on visiting Tokyo over the New Years holidays. I'll have a few days when I'm not meeting friends, and as I can't travel often due to my health, I'd like to make the most of Tokyo's wider variety of restaurants while I can. Nagoya doesn't have the variety of international cuisine you can find in Tokyo, and as I'll be going to plenty of Izakaya with friends, I'm more interested in non-Japanese food.

I'll be staying in Taito-ku, so any places nearby would be great, but anywhere in the special wards is fine. I like a wide variety of food, so any recommendations are fine. Especially for January 1st, as my friends normally need the day to recover. I found South Park, a decent South Indian restaurant in Asakusa last New Year's day, so I suspect there are other places like that open throughout the holidays.

I've gotten into reading Japanese books a lot more recently, and I prefer e-books as their built-in dictionaries are a god-send for foreign language learners.

I've only used Google Play so far. The integrated dictionary is fine, but one annoyance is that it can't detect any word that uses furigana. Are Kindle, Kobo, or any other platforms any better?
