The Best NYC Tasting Menus Under $100 Per Person

This East Village sushi/omakase spot doesn’t even have a website and you've probably walked by its spot on St. Marks one hundred times without realizing, so unless you spend hours on yelp looking at food pics trying to distinguish hamachi from yellowtail from fluke (please don’t do that), you won’t know what you’re getting till you arrive. But just so you know on a recent visit we were served everything from to octopus to swordfish to yellow crab to yes, Santa Barbara uni, so maybe you'd get some of those. Japanese tasting menus are notoriously pricey (remember Masa's $450 price tag), but somehow Kura manages to make our Jiro dream come true for as little as $85 for 13 pieces of sushi. We don’t know how or why they do it but we’re definitely not complaining. Address: 130 Saint Marks Place, New York, NY 10009 Phone: (212) 228-1010 Reservations via phone [Photo via @amees24]
