"To get to this Alphabet City sushi speakeasy, head up some stairs, ring a buzzer, and go through a steel cage door, where you’ll come upon what probably happens when a celebrity buys an empty building and turns it into their dream loft. If you ask about the jazz playing here, they’ll tell you they only play vinyl to keep the volume relatively low—and this makes for a very pleasant listening experience. Most of the massive space is filled with leather couches and high tops where you can order nigiri and temaki à la carte, but the $80 omakase at the four-seat counter is what makes this place special." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang
