a few blocks, but I have been there when a few people have asked me, while browsing in stores if I worked there, or Did I speak English? The worst time, was while visiting a Benihana, I got up to go use the women's restroom there, when I felt someone touch my arm and ask "Excuse me miss..Do you Speak English?" I nodded, and they said, my son here needs some extra chop sticks and on my order can you make my steak a little rare?" He actually thought I worked there.. and I said .."I am sure your waiter will be here shortly.. excuse me" to which he exclaimed, "HOW RUDE, I will report you to the manager!" ... and I said, "You do that sir, I don't work here!"
People visiting Japan town just assume if you are Asian, you must work there... It can be a little frustrating to say the least!!
