Kate Griggs: The waiters are so caring and awesome. Ask for recommendations!! Also, the Nutcracker is a stellar drink, worth the NYC price
New York Habitat: Get a pitcher of sangria and the pollo a la brasa or lomo saltado. Yup, it's gonna be a good night.

emily chen: Get the spicy galbi jjim. You can thank me later.
Serious Eats: A very vegetarian-friendly Korean restaurant specializing in fresh tofu, which is made daily.

Jeff Solomon: Extremely fresh sushi. Try the lunch combo specials. Reservations recommended
Julie Qiu: The $40 Chef's Omakase is probably one of the best and tasty sushi deals I've encountered on the UWS. 12 pieces + 1 maki roll, prepared with much TLC. Each piece is amazing. Must. Try.
EArchitect: This small sushi restaurant is located where Momiji Sushi used to be next to a restaurant called "My Most Favorite Food." You get good sushi at a good price here.
