"The UES has more than its fair share of good sushi omakase places. But Tanoshi stands out because of the BYOB policy. Each meal costs around $125 and comes with 10 pieces of excellent fish, a hand roll, three small maki rolls, and an open forum to drink whatever you want. The space at Tanoshi is tight—it’s two narrow dining rooms built around a residential hallway. But as you get into your meal, you won’t even notice your surroundings. Bring a date or no one at all.
