"In sweltering weather, my I’m-too-sweaty-to-think go-to tends to be sushi or poke or whatever other raw fish dish I can get my hands on. Enter Tora, a Japanese restaurant in Chinatown. Tora specializes in kaisen don, essentially a selection of raw fish over rice. I usually order the Tokyo don — torched salmon belly, scallop, squid, and flying fish roe — and add salmon, because I can never get enough salmon. With a side of the goma cucumber (sliced cucumber in a toasted sesame dressing), it’s the perfect meal for a hot summer night. —Rachel Leah Blumenthal" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle, Nathan Tavares, Karen Wilber
