Vol. 4: Desperately Seeking Sushi

Dear Tranny,

Where can one find decent sushi in the city? I am a bit of a sushi snob and faux sushi (California Rolls or Spider Rolls) just doesn’t cut it. Where can I find traditional Japanese sushi without all the hype?

Desperately Seeking Sushi

Dear Desperately,

If there’s one thing I’m an expert on, it’s the art of serving fish. A connoisseur of all things in the raw, I am constantly on the hunt for stellar sushi, wherever I am. And I feel you on the faux front. That’s almost like settling for Hailey over Hilary Duff.

If you’re looking for traditional, authentic and, most importantly, palatable sushi, it most likely won’t be found floating on a boat, at an all-you-can-eat buffet, or where sake bombs are going off.

Murasaki Sushi Bar and Kyo-ya are as authentic as they come. Another favorite Moshi Moshi offers “contemporary” rolls alongside their more traditional sushi offerings— some of the best I’ve had in the city. All three restaurants offer a pleasant ambiance and are perfect locations for first dates.

Now bear in mind: with sushi, as with men, you get what you pay for. If it’s good, it ain’t cheap. But, if you’re like me, it definitely beats having to fish around for something worth swallowing.

And remember, Tranny knows best.

xoxo
Sandra
