Sushi Restaurant · Greenwich Village · 69 tips and reviews
Village Voice: Top-notch sushi at a good price. Every bite of raw fish on rice is a joy, but you'll miss out if you don't try one of the hot dishes, like the silky uni porridge. Critics' choice for best sushi bar.
Ramen Restaurant · East Village · 199 tips and reviews
Marisa Tom: Delicious ramen when you don't feel like waiting a couple hours at Ippudo. I usually go for the miso ramen (pretty basic) but it does the trick. Gyoza is bomb here too.
Cocktail Bar · Alphabet City · 65 tips and reviews
Marisa Tom: Great food & drinks. Right now, the whiskey smash is made w/ fresh peaches instead of apricots. TRY. The burrata & gin pairing board, olive oil-poached halibut, & flat iron steak are amazing.
