And food is culture as much as art is culture as much as language is culture.</i> I'd say it's been that way for about 10 years. I remember going to a small, local anime con years ago, and even back then the local sushi bar had the savvy to blanket the con site with menus and coupons.

I was excited about NYAF before (admittedly, I kinda have to be, since we [Del Rey Manga] will be exhibiting) but man, this is big news. Increasingly, I've come to realize that manga &#38; anime fandom in the U.S. isn't just about comics and cartoons. It's more generally about Japanese culture. And food is culture as much as art is culture as much as language is culture. A coup for team-NYAF, that's for sure... OK.
