Sumile Sushi: Hidden between the kitschy-chain fodder of Sixth and Seventh Avenues sits this quiet den of Japanese goodness. Whether you're looking for a full meal or just a taste, Chef Josh DeChellis will surely find something to please your palate and challenge your pathetic vocabulary. The recent addition of a sushi bar in the front, as well as a brown-out-friendly half-off-all-drinks happy hour (daily, 5:30pm-7:00pm), will surely have you questioning all the California-Roll-with-Sapporo specials you've plagued your body with over the years. With a solid wine list, an unpronounceably-strong sake selection, and extra-stiff cocktails (try the vodka-meets-bourbon "Eric Mason 50/50"), Sumile Sushi is the perfect hideaway for friends and/or that romantic rendezvous with a bottle of Ichinokura Taru "Barrel" Junmai Miyagi ($58).
