Mari.ne

A half-block off Bryant Park, Mari.ne is a bright, narrow restaurant where you can sit at a counter lined with low stools and grab a quick bite. The pastel green spot, from the folks behind Mari, specializes in Korean-influenced hand rolls, with options that include scallop, crab, and confit spicy tuna, as well as a few vegan varieties like yuba and soy bulgogi. Aside from a fatty tuna roll stuffed with salty bubbles of caviar, the food isn’t especially memorable, but it'll scratch any itch for relatively affordable raw fish. Expect to spend around $50 per person, and make a reservation if you don’t want to wait.
