The sushi spreadsheet

[raji]

Ah I missed that -

I have an _extensive_ mental checklist, but it's more situational... i'm paying, they're paying, by neighborhood, sushi only, or more of a full dining experience, etc. etc.  But, and I'm not referring to yourself, but why would we want to flood all the good places with a bunch of n00bs???

Come on, Raji, spill it, We're not nOObs!

Truth be told, I don't go out for sushi anywhere as often as I should... but it's more like going out for a steak for me, as with most Japanese. I'm in Japan twice a year and I eat it voraciously over there for obvious reasons.

WHEN I do go out, my haunts are Shimizu in Midtown West, Esashi in the East Village, Seki on the UES, Yasuda, Sushiden, or Hatsuhana in Midtown East, and a big ups to Ushiwakamaru west of EV.

Any of those are good for a stellar $20ish sushi lunch, a laidback sushi, sashimi and kitchen order table dinner, and when the budget allows, the full-on omakase blowout. On the odd occasion of a lukewarm date, a decent tempura order will preceded said omakase so I don't feel completely prostituted.

There you go. That's the list. Follow it!!!

15 east is damn good, and not just for the sushi, either.
