The Line Outside Tomoe
Originally uploaded by The Amateur Gourmet.

I am woefully inexperienced when it comes to sushi/maki.

I've had pretty good sushi (in my limited experience) before, and I've had truly crappy sushi. When it's decent I enjoy it, although I remain intimidated by the mystique surrounding it, as described (and to some extent perpetuated) by things like the Sushi Eating HOWTO.

Last night I was treated to what can only be described as amazing sushi, at Tomoe Sushi in Greenwich Village. It was one of those rare experiences where the bar got set for all future encounters with a particular type of food. Thanks Bob!

(I've been past Tomoe several times before, and the photo above is accurate; there is always a line. It is well worth the wait.)
