carabee Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I had myself a date last night **giggles** and he took me to the Otoba (means: to eat) on 56th btw park and mad. The place was really nice! Rather expensive, but worth it and boys, if you wanna impress the lady...this is the place yo! Like all fine Jap restuarants, they prepare the food right in front of you. Excellent Sushi and steak! 2 thumbs up. Call for reservations. 212-223-7575. ----The BEE was BUZZIN last night-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycetouch Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I reccomend Meriken on 21st and 7th, a "trendy japanese" place. I used to work the a year ago, Danny Tenaglia was a regular there. The sushi is off-tha-hook, the kitchen food is allright too.------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

translucent Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 The best "secret" sushi joint in the city (and probably the entire east coast) is Tomoe @ Thompson btwn Bleeker & W Houston. It's as good or better than Nobu at a fraction of the cost. They don't take reservations and you'll probably have to wait in line for about an hour. It's well worth the wait.------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's right between Cosi (deli) and Mercedes-Benz of Manhattan, just off the corner of 56th and Park... Great take-out if you get it by 11:30 am, cheap enough too, for anyone in this area. I work 6 floors above M-B Manhattan, so Otabe is a regular lunch spot. ;-) Anyone else local?------------------Administrative Signature: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonygmo Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 nope. it's all about NOBU. Best sushi in the city.Tell the chef, "omakase" ("I leave it up to you") and prepare for sushi that just melts like butter in your mouth. Warning: only say this when you're out to impress a date b/c your wallet will feel the effects for months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurensomers Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 RubyFoo's is very good. I suggest going to the one on the upper west. They have just about anything you want, from excellent sushi to thai food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
