Lucky are those who wander into this large midtown den helmed by one of the best sushi teams in town—even luckier are those regulars at the counter, who know that despite the Americanized menu options, there is a depth of authenticity rare in these parts. Such standby sushi classics as SushiAnn know just how to balance tradition, pleasure, and expectation. For an adventure, sit at the counter (where there is a $30 minimum) and don't hesitate to express interest in the more authentic dishes. This is just the right place to go for the omakase: fresh mackerel served with ponzu and minced ginger; fatty bluefin fanned over shiso leaf and kelp; smoky slices of grilled giant clam; or rich torched sardine—all carefully explained by the knowledgeable staff.
