Blue Ribbon Sushi (Manhattan)

Located on the same block as its sister restaurant, Blue Ribbon (Manhattan), Blue Ribbon Sushi (Manhattan) represents the collaboration of the Bromberg Brothers' Blue Ribbon approach with their partner Toshi Ueki's skill and love of Japanese cuisine. The restaurant has enjoyed huge popularity and is year after year regarded as one of New York City's top sushi bars.

The menu is innovative, and displays a choice of sushi from both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans (not to mention those flown direct from the Sea of Japan on a daily basis) all extraordinarily fresh, creative and abundant. Toshi's specials and an award winning sake list make every meal a truly extraordinary Japanese culinary experience.

The wholly appropriate decor makes Blue Ribbon one of the most subdued and beautiful environments for eating in New York. Where some establishments would play wood against other aesthetic mediums, Blue Ribbon plays colors against each other, with a dark canopy of wood softening the atmosphere of a completely arboreal dining room, from the seats and tables to the wall itself, except in a few areas where off-white walls are muted into submission with expertly-chosen lighting. An overall grand-slam in terms of ambiance, Blue Ribbon Sushi has become known as much for its romantic air as it is for a menu of classic sushi and inventive contemporary interpretations.
