"Small and serious about its craft, you’ll appreciate Kurumazushi if you’re very intense about your sushi - the Marion Cotillard of Midtown sushi. Yes, she got nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, but if you bring the wrong person, they might walk in and say, “Uhhh, this movie is in French?“. Expect to pay a lot here - the sushi plates start at $100 and the omakase is $300, though there are some under-$50 lunch specials. This is expert territory." - hillary reinsberg
