"Upscale sushi destination Fifteen East is now in its third iteration since 2007, with new owners and a new chef. Just east of Union Square, they’re serving a 16-course, $235 omakase that involves fish marinated in sake lees, with intermittent appetizers in place of the typical ginger palate cleanser. The restaurant seats 24 and offers two seatings nightly, at 5:30pm and 7:45pm." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
