“Everything Japanese in New York.

looks very good. The Japanese Restaurants link is simply a link to
Sushi NYC. The Books section (under
Yellow Pages; why not under Shopping Guide, or in its own section?)
is outdated: it lists the NYC Asahiya bookstore on Vanderbilt Ave. that closed
in March 2003 (a new Asahiya later that year,
a short distance away); it refers to the “Yaohan” shopping center,
which was renamed Mitsuwa some time ago; and it lists
the Kinokuniya bookstore in Mitsuwa/Yaohan, which has closed.
