Well, I took everyone's advice and went to Hatsuhanna with a vendor
Tuesday night. I had to wait awhile for the rest of my group, so I
chatted with the Maitre D' for a bit.

Based on the reccomendations of this group I went with some friends when I
was in NYC a month ago. It was AMAZING.


I haven't sat at a table in Hatsuhana in ten years. Haven't seen a menu
in
longer than that (except for the sake one).

We were lucky enough to get a seat at the downstairs bar which. We had the
bar and chef all to ourselves, with the exception of three young girls. It
just happens that they were the Olsen twins and a friend. Now, the sushi was
amazing, but the company wasn't bad either!

We did not oder from the menu either. The first thing we did was ask for
some super fatty Toro (not in those words, don't worry) and ponzu. After
that we said "we'd like you to create anything you'd like". He asked if
there was anything we were adverse to and we said that we'd try anything he
made. It was all wonderful. I am planning a trip back to NYC with my fieance
just to take her there.


IMHO it is the best in the US.
It's my 2nd fav, doesn't beat Taka Sushi in Aspen (unless your unlucky
enough to have an American chef there).
