"Maki Kosaka in Flatiron is the casual offshoot of a fancy omakase spot called Kosaka on West 13th, which means you can expect quality fish at lower prices. They have two types of handrolls here: temaki and “grab” sushi, which are pieces of beautifully constructed nigiri that you scoop up with crisp Saga nori sheets. Have your next date night here—the big wrap-around sushi bar has enough space to give you some privacy, and there’s a lush plant shop in the front that feels like their unofficial front porch." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
