I’m on the road this week, and today I had an excellent under $20-per-person meal at Sori Sushi in Toledo, Ohio. This is freelancer-friendly with good sized tables for laptops and food. Perfect for yours truly, the work-obsessed constant scribbler trying to earn a buck–make that MORE than a buck–any way I can. (In spite of having a good-paying gig that eats much of my time already.) The sushi here is excellent, you can get some decent work done and the dessert menu includes my all-time favorite, red bean ice cream.

Hey, freelancers, if you’re wondering what the hell Toledo has to offer a writer looking for story ideas, check out the Toledo Museum of Art (home to more than 30 thousand works of art inlcuding works by Chuck Close, Mark Rothko and Matisse). It has a large collection of Egyptian and Greek artifacts, and the museum’s Glass Pavillion was named “Best Museum” by Travel + Leisure in 2007. You can also check out Toledo’s Sound Asylum at 2582 Monroe St, Toledo. This shop has served Toledo since 1978–a very long track record for a sole-owner record shop. This would be great as a business profile or as music journalism piece on how one local business is surviving the current CD vs. download wars. And you can always write a food/travel piece on Sori Sushi…

No matter what brings you out to Toledo, Ohio, pay a visit to Sori Sushi. You will NOT regret the stop. Sori and Kenny will make you feel right at home.
