Tsushima - Sushi Cuisine

Categories: NY da mangiare - Eating NY.

UPDATE: we went few weeks ago and it wasn’t the same quality of food and service we were used to… other friends had the same experience… maybe in the future, the restaurant will go back to be very good, as for now, we don’t reccommend it any longer.

Quartiere/Area: Midtown

Tipo/Type: Giapponese/Japanese

Descrizione: Se non lo conoscete, questo ristorante e’ quasi impossibile da scoprire. Non ha neanche una scritta fuori dal locale, l’unico cartello e’ in giapponese. Il cibo e’ veramente ottimo, come l’accoglienza. A pranzo, il lunch-box viene non oltre i 15 dollari, mentre a cena spenderete qualcosina di piu’, ma ne vale assolutamente la pena!

Description: If you don’t know this place, it is almost impossible to find. There is not even a sing outside the restaurant, aside from something written in Japanese. The food here is really delicious, and the service is very nice. For lunch, the lunch-box is about $ 15, while at dinner you will spend a bit more, but it’s absolutely worth it!

Indirizzo/Address: 141 E 47th Street, NY

Descrizione: Tatiana Cafe’ and Grill e Tatiana Restaurant & Nightclub si trovano a pochi metri di distanza uno dall’altro, sulla passeggiata che guarda spiaggia e mare a Brighton Beach. Entrambi sono assolutamente russi; il Cafe’ e piu’ adatto per Brunch (all you can eat a $ 30.00) e per cene non impegnative, mentre il ristorante offre la tipica cena russa, con tanto di intrattenimento e nightclub. Consiglio: siccome e’ possibile portarsi la propria bottiglia da casa, arrivate muniti di vino e quant’altro per risparmiare notevolmente sul prezzo. Da visitare anche il quartiere, russo naturalmente!

Description: Tatiana Cafe’ and Grill, and Tatiana Restaurant & Nightclub are very close to each other, on the Boardwalk in Brighton Beach. They are both very Russian; the Café’ is more for Brunch (it’s a “wow” the all-you-can-eat for just $ 30.00) and for casual dinners, while the restaurant offers the typical Russian dinner with entertainment and dancing afterwards, Suggestion: as it is possible to bring your own booze, it’s wise to come with wine or any other alcohol you love, in order to not spend a fortune. And while you are there, take a walk also in the neighborhood, 100% Russian, of course!

Categories: NY da mangiare - Eating NY.

Tipo/Type: Giapponese/Japanese 

Quartiere/Area: East Village

Indirizzo/Address: 210 E 9th St., Between 2nd & 3rd Ave., NY, NY 10003
Tel. 212 473 3327

Web-Site: www.hasakinyc.com

Orari/Hours: Lunch: 12pm - 3pm (Wed-Fri) - 1pm - 4pm (Sat & Sun) - Dinner: 5:30pm - 11:30pm 7 Nights

Descrizione: questo isolato e’ pieno di ristoranti giapponesi, tutti abbastanza buoni. Hasaki e’ sicuramente uno dei migliori. Il ristorante e’ piccolo e non accetta prenotazioni, dunque se andate di venerdi’ o sabato dalle 7 alle 9, sappiate che molto probabilmente aspetterete un po’ prima di sedervi. Ma ne vale la pena! Potete anche andare, ordinare cibo da portare a casa, ma non potete fare ordini via telefono.

Description: this block is full of japanese restaurants, all pretty good. Hasaki is for sure one of the best. The restaurant is small and does not accept reservation, so if you go on Friday or Saturday bet. 7 and 9 pm, you may most likely wait. But it is worth it! Also, the do take out, but they don’t deliver.

Orari/Hours: Mon / Tue / Wed / Thu / Sun from 12 pm to 12 am

Description: Good Italian Pizza in NY? Yes, and not only Pizza! Great gnocchi (each 29th of the month is all you can eat Gnocchi), the prosciutto, the salads, pasta, meat, desserts and so on. And from 5 to 7 pm, from Monday to Friday, it’s Aperitif time at Piola… Milanese style, of course! Maybe, sometime, for our taste, the background music could be a bit softer. Yet, still, Piola is the place to go, and go back and stay… thanks also to the low prices!

Descrizione: La Pizza buona a NY? E’ possibile… e non solo la Pizza! Ottimi gli gnocchi (ogni 29 del mese Piola offre gnocchi a volonta’ ai suoi clienti), il prosciutto, le insalate, le paste, le carni, i dolci e cosi’ via. E dalle 5 alle 7 pm, dal lunedi’ al venerdi’, Piola offre un classicissimo aperitivo alla Milanese. Unico neo, secondo noi, la musica di sottofondo alle volte un po’ troppo alta. Per il resto, e’ il posto dove andare, tornare, rimanere… grazie anche ai contenutissimi prezzi!
