Osakana East Village

"This amazing spot turns out pristine sushi to order, though it’s primarily to go: Splurge for the $60 omakase of 12 pieces, which comes in a darling little box. Other assortments sell for as little as $25 — perfect for a snack. You haven’t had New York sushi until you try it here. There’s a second location in Midtown, inside Katagiri Japanese Grocery." - Robert Sietsema
