  1. EN Japanese BrasserieRestaurant · West VillageIf you’re looking for recommendations, I strongly suggest the miso-marinated Alaskan black cod (it’s the best thing on the menu, in my opinion).
  2. Nami NoriRestaurant · West VillageThe menu has a handful of tantalizing appetizers (don’t sleep on the miso soup and shishito peppers), but the hand rolls is where this popular West Village sushi restaurant sings.

The seal

If you're on this list, this is yours.

I went, and I said in my own words that it's worth your time. Nobody paid for that and nobody can. The seal says so, and it links back here, so anyone who sees it reads the whole list and how I decide.

Put it on your site, in the window, on the menu. Keep it linked when it's on the web and keep the words on it. That's the whole ask.

The code. Paste it where the seal should sit.
