I'd go to Blue Ribbon. Others will sweear by Gari or Tomoe, either way you can't go wrong. I wouldn't recommend Nobu for sushi, while it's good, the Omakase is the real value of Nobu. There's better sushi in NYC.

I live in Manhattan and eat sushi all the time (twice-three times/week) and i've been to Blue Ribbon and think it is totally over-rated, over-priced and not exciting at all. Goto Bond Street or Sushi Samba for interesting GREAT sushi - you will pay a little more, but they are both so worth it and blow Blue Ribbon away IMO.

I also think you should make reservations incase, even if you go late - i think they are open until 2 am on weekends. I also agree that the one on Park Avenue South is better than the 7th ave. one (they also have one in Miami that I have been to). Drinks are great there too! It is latin infusion, but i can't really describe it, because it is so much better than it sounds - they don't put cornflakes in it though! Get spicy tuna and eel rolls there, they are very good. if you want regular, plain sushi in a plain atmosphere, go to Blue Ribbon - i am not a fan, but people do love it...but if you want great drinks, a great atmosphere, great sushi and want to try sushi with a twist go to sushi samba.

There is a small but GREAT sushi place on Lex and 30th St. called Mishima, it is full most of the time, but after a show you should be able to get in. I live here too eat sushi all the time, Mishima is the best I have ever had.
Have fun while you are here.

Reading about these great sushi places really makes me want to extend my stay. I envy all of you who live in NYC (and not just for the sushi). I guess I'll just have to come back again -- Sushi Samba sounds like the one I'll try on this trip, since it sounds like it's quite an experience. Should I make reservations even for an 11:30 p.m. seating???
