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! :wink:

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!!!

Looks good. Thanks for sharing it!

Anytime. Or as they say in Japanese. MAIDO MAIDO!

I'm glad you were finally able to get to Shimizu.

Been back several times, love it.
