"Go at 5:30 AM on your way to work. They're open and cheerful :)"

"hit up Black Peace Now when they're having a sale."

"ask for a recommendation—Leef will have one!"

"buy Japanese textbooks in Japanese."

"Eat decent sushi without breaking the bank. The point isn't that it's the best, it's that it's good and almost half as much as any other place."

"Order a breakfast burrito to put in the fridge for breakfast the next day. OR get a grilled veggie burrito totally plain, with black beans, and sauce it up with chip dip"
