"The old high school acquaintance that you only hang out with when you're home for Christmas is in town and wants you to take them somewhere New York-y. At Gouie, you can get a $30 seven-piece-and-half-roll special that’s just that: special (and not just because of the price.) This place feels fitting for a visitor even though it's in a food hall on the Lower East Side, and you might even get an impromptu tasting consisting of locally-made sake while you wait for your nigiri.
