I’m consistently surprised by just how good the median food/drink experience is for everything in Japan.

In Japan I rarely check reviews anymore. It’s really more, “hm…what do I want to eat.” and go to 1 of 3 of that genre of food within walking distance.

Restaurant quality and quantity is great here.

if i wanted to go on a trip to tokyo with my gf, what neighborhood(s) would you recommend to stay in?

hmm, ignoring cost, shibuya is high ev. 

Hipster: shimo kitazawa
Cool: Daikanyama, naka meguro
High end: Toranomon / Azabu
Culture / shopping: shibuya
Urban / gritty: shinjuku

Good thing is you can get anywhere fast and cheaply on trains. Lot of folks stay cheap in asakusa and train into shibuya.

I’d try to be within 30m by train to shibuya, especially if it’s your first time. That’ll cover a lot of ground.

Shibuya is kind of the center of Tokyo. Most people meet there or branch off there to other parts.
