"Sushi Lab might be the only place in NYC where you can enjoy a 15-course omakase high up in the air just a few blocks away from three overly-excited men in Buzz Lightyear costumes. This outdoor restaurant on top of The Sanctuary Hotel in Midtown even has hanging greenery and basket lights, which makes it an ideal spot for a romantic night out. If you and your date aren’t ready for several courses of raw fish, you can also order a few maki rolls or some sashimi from their a la carte menu. Before you make any big plans, you’ll need to reserve one of the socially-distanced outdoor tables, or a few seats at the chef’s counter, on the restaurant’s website." - nikko duren
