The Best Restaurants On The Upper East Side - New York - The Infatuation

"Sushi Seki is known, first and foremost, for their brilliant nigiri mash-ups: things like tuna with tofu sauce, salmon with sauteed tomato, and red snapper topped with sea salt, which turns out to be a more thrilling combination than you’d think. We also like Sushi Seki because it looks expensive (and kind of is), but the atmosphere is unpretentious and fun. At prime dinnertime, the small dining room gets packed and you might be scooting your chair back and forth constantly to let the waitstaff through. But no one really cares. The lively crowd is too busy throwing back sake and laughing." - sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja
