"If you’ve never been to Sushi 35 West, you’ve probably at least heard whispers of the mythical place hidden above a smoke shop near Penn Station serving omakase-caliber takeout sushi. Place your order in advance, then hike up the industrial staircase, and pick up your $37 set with eight assorted nigiri and a spicy tuna roll. There are plenty of other a la carte and set options as well, all of which involve long, lush slices of fish." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
