Eating Out in NYC
New York City is full of great restaurants. Some are world reknown; others are known only to the locals who frequent the neighborhood. Hokkaido falls into the latter category. Housed in a former coffee bar on 2nd Avenue (currently overlooking the construction site for the new subway), Hokkaido serves up sushi and other Japanese dishes in an elegant yet unpretentious style. Their sushi deluxe is exactly what you would expect -- 9 pieces of various kinds of sushi plus one tuna roll; for novices they also offer "vegetable sushi" -- 7 different vegetables like micro carrots and avocado atop vinegared rice. They also offer a variety of teriyaki, tempura and noodle dishes, plus standard appetizers like steamed dumplings and Harumaki. All entrees come with soup or salad. So although it doesn't break new ground (unlike the subway outside its picture windows), Hokkaido is a good choice for a reliably tasty Japanese meal.
