New York Sushi Ko

After shuttering for three months, the rave-reviewed Lower East Side sushi counter reemerges, with chef John Daley buying out his business partner to assume majority ownership of the 10-seat operation. In this simplified iteration, the three-tier-priced dinner service is stripped down to just one $150 omakase featuring seafood sourced from Japan’s famed Tsukiji and Fukuoka fish markets. Cell phones and photography are strictly prohibited as before, but the tech-targeting ban is lifted for a newly introduced lunch service, which offers cooked Japanese items such as miso soup, soba and a house roll, with upgrades available for premium ingredients like uni and toro. (The à la carte menu is also offered to walk-in guests after 9:30pm.)
