The 15 Best Sushi Omakase Spots In NYC For Under $100 - New York - The Infatuation

"There must be some sort of tax incentive that encourages sushi businesses to open in the East Village. There’s no other way to explain the huge number of omakase spots in the neighborhood, most of which opened over the past few years. Thirteen Water is one such place, and it sets itself apart with a creative array of toppings that actually enhance the nigiri, rather than overwhelm the fish. For $75, you can sit at a casual U-shaped counter and eat 13 courses that might include scallop with finger lime, barracuda with yuzu kosho, or hamachi topped with ribbons of shishito pepper." - neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang, hannah albertine, will hartman
