In search of respite from the stifling heat and a place to burn off some overabundant preschooler energy, this month we headed to the charming Organic Cafe LuLu in Tokyo's Kiba neighborhood.
This excursion was really about assuaging my ever-present uncertainty and motherly guilt about the food I feed my child (trust me, it is not all organic). It was also about exposing her to the fine arts in the form of a visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.
Located just a short walk from the museum, Organic Cafe LuLu is airy and bright, its high ceilings dotted with fans and modern ambient lighting. Upon leaving my shoes at the door, I entered a wide-open space covered in AstroTurf, of all things.
