"When you feel like you’ve seen, done, and eaten all that NYC’s overwhelming omakase scene can offer, go to The Office of Mr. Moto. This St. Marks speakeasy is filled with eclectic Japanese antiques and requires you to decode an email before your visit. The 21-course meal ($215) is focused on hyper-seasonal ingredients flown in daily from Japan, so expect pieces like shirako, or rare red gurnard that you don’t get at other sushi spots in this price range. Stop by the lounge for a drink after your dinner and listen to the vintage player piano." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick
