she loves ny breaks its sushi issue. Raw fish fanatics can get the scoop on "New and of Note," The Top Top," "Top Sashimi," "Top Dives," and "Who's Who Of Maki Rolls" plus the resy low-down. slny says "The Top Top" "however should be had on expense accounts only," Gothamist offers, "should be had on dates with sugar daddies or sugar mommies...or with real mommies and daddies." At any rate, Gothamist loves she loves ny...glslny.
Sushi Yasuda is among "The Top Top" and Jewel Bako is for "Top Sashimi."




is it just me, or does it seem like SLNY is written in some kind of code, or in a foreign language? the first time i got it, i was like "what the hell is this?"
Yeah, it's in some sort of beyond-hister esperanto.
An added bonus of going to Yasuda is to sit next to these people:
These People: I would like a Spicy Tuna roll.
Disgusted Waiter: We only have traditional sushi.
TP: I'm sorry, I will have a Philadelphia roll then.
DW: Die.
TP: Oh, okay a California roll then.
DW: Die.
my favorite part of this edition of slny is that it was emailed with a cc to the partner at Paul Weiss who requested the sushi memo!
That was brilliant. Those crazy kids at slny!
I love spicy tuna and soft-shell crab rolls as much as the next guy, but there is no one in Japan who would classify that as "sushi."
On the other hand, the Japanese routinely mangle Western foods too- just look around for the "mentaiko pasta" which is pasta made with fish eggs and seaweed (it's an acquired taste.) I think you can have that one at Basta Pasta on West 17th.
