Thirteen Water

Nowadays, you can't walk half a block in the East Village without running into a place where you can eat sub-$100 omakase sushi. There are a lot of spots to choose from, but Thirteen Water sets itself apart with a variety of interesting toppings. A meal here lasts exactly one hour, and it consists of a $75 omakase with 13 pieces. You'll get things like barracuda with chives and yuzu kosho, salmon with roasted tomato, and toro topped with more toro and caviar. Try this place the next time you need something a little different. The only seating is around a U-shaped counter, and there are five seatings per night starting at 5pm.
