New York City Sushi Spots

Mmmmm, NYC has the best eating establishments of any city I’ve been to, and when it comes to Sushi, New York has no rival.  Since I began traveling to the City regularly several years ago, I’ve made it a point each time to check out a new Sushi hotspot.  The top destination may not be a surprise with the globally renowned Nobu taking the honor. I chose Nobu due to the modern atmosphere, excellent menu selections, vibrant bar, first class service.  Be ready to pay a pretty penny for a night out at Nobu, however I guarantee you that it will be a night to remember.
