Sushi That Fits Your Schedule - and a Giveaway

Last weekend, I was invited to a blogger brunch at mai cuisine, a fast-casual restaurant located near Grand Central on 41st and Madison. What makes mai interesting, is that the front of the restaurant is more like a deli, where you can pick up pre-packaged foods, and the back is more like a restaurant.

Tenzan Sushi Earns a 10 in My Book

When I moved to the Upper East Side, I knew I had to scout out a few staples: my new pizzeria, bagel shop, Thai restaurant and sushi restaurant. Those are my “must haves.” While it took a few tries for me to find my new Thai spot (posts on that journey to come), I [...]

Daily Deals at Hane Sushi

I’m a big sushi fan so when I can find deals beyond the standard $8-9 for two rolls and soup/salad at lunch, I’m pretty excited. That’s why I love Hane Sushi near Peter Cooper and Stuy Town. With rotating specials each day, you can be sure to get a bargain on delicious sushi.

My New Obsession: Nana Sushi

A few weeks back my former intern Elle told me about a new sushi restaurant that had opened in Murray Hill. As soon as the words BYOB were out of her mouth, I had plans with my roommate for Saturday night.

My roommate Al and I headed over to Nana Sushi on a Saturday [...]

I Do Love Myself a Cheap BYOB Sushi Restaurant

I was meeting up with a few friends on a Friday night, and instead of the typical bar scene, we wanted to do a simpler dinner and drinks. Always on the hunt for a good deal, we decided to try Cherin Sushi, a BYOB sushi place in the East Village.

Although the restaurant is [...]

Battle of the Neighborhood Sushi Joints - Umi

If you are anything like me, chances are most of the time you go “out to eat” for lunch at work, it involves splitting a $5 footlong with someone, grabbing a salad or ordering takeout - and eating at your desk. But when it is nice and sunny outside on a Friday, I’m going [...]

Battle of the Neighborhood Sushi Joints - ABI

Simply put, I love sushi. I dread the day that I find out I have a bun in the oven for many, many reasons, but one of them is seriously because I won’t be able to eat sushi for the duration of my pregnancy. So one way that I like to celebrate my baby-free [...]

Surprisingly Satisfactory Sushi

After reading four star reviews on Yelp for Ichiro, I decided to check out this sushi establishment on the Upper East Side on Second Ave between 87th and 88th. Although I’ve lived in the neighborhood for several months, I still haven’t found my go-to sushi place so was eager to give this place a [...]

College Cafeteria Sushi at NYC Prices

Guest Post by Caryn Donohue, Gramercy Correspondent

I know plenty of people will disagree with me, but I went to Haru Sushi in Gramercy Park a few Sunday nights ago and was not impressed. Granted, I didn’t try a lot on the menu, but besides the edamame, I was quite disappointed in my [...]

PT212 - Perfect Combination of Sushi and Thai

PT212 is one of my favorite places for dinner in the city. I’ve been here numerous times - on dates, with friends and with my parents - and I’ve never been disappointed. From the decor, you can tell the restaurant is striving for the “trendy chic” look, so it’s perfect for out of town [...]
