"If you find omakase sushi a little stuffy, a night at Silvers will change that. This nondescript sushi bar on Lower State Street offers a special occasion meal that doesn’t sacrifice fun. The night begins with a glass of champagne in a low-lit waiting room where you mingle and listen to jazz like a true cosmopolitan. You’re then ushered into the blue-toned sushi bar, where the chefs spare no time chatting you up. It’s a high-energy, hypersocial experience, where you’ll eat seabream sashimi in tangelo juice, uni fried rice, and marbled otoro, and maybe toast to the couple next to you who got engaged last week. All of that fun, plus the 13-course meal, costs $185 per person, which isn’t cheap but not too steep by omakase standards." - Sylvio Martins
