"Upscale sushi destination Sushi Aozora (formerly15 East) is now in its fourth iteration since 2007, with new owners and a new chef. Just east of Union Square, they’re serving a 16-course, $165 omakase that involves fish marinated in sake lees, with intermittent appetizers in place of the typical ginger palate cleanser. The restaurant seats 24, and there is a bar a la carte menu with things like a $68 mixed clam sashimi." - Bryan Kim
