Bar Masa
Masayoshi Takayama's Masa may be the best sushi in America, and definitely the most expensive meal in the city, at $400 a person, but for paupers like me, check out the bar version a la "Bar Masa."
It might be difficult to get a seat in this narrow mini-masa, but easier to get a seat at the bar, where you can watch the bartender in action. The highlight of my night was watching him drop a globular ice cube into Swimster's scotch..yes, a globular ice cube...I can only imagine the man hours that go into creating such wonders. Simple pleasures for simple minds.
A woman with her sugar daddy next to me ordered a kumquat martini and when I saw it being made, I couldn't resist ordering one myself. I hate fruity drinks but this one hit the spot. Not too sweet.
Sushi was excellent, but for the price of a kobe beef hamburger it better be. Hope to return to Bar Masa soon, to try more things, then who knows, maybe I'll be ready to graduate to the real Masa.
