East Village Pizza New York

If you’re looking for a new sushi spot, put @rollcrafthandroll on your list.

This new East Village hand roll spot is doing a few things differently. Everything is gluten-free, it’s walk-in only, and there’s no tipping.

The fish was fresh, the rice was seasoned nicely, and you can tell they’re putting a lot of care into the details. Some of the fish is dry-aged, while others are marinated in-house, adding another layer of flavor to each hand roll.

I genuinely enjoyed my meal here and was honestly surprised it wasn’t busier. If you’re in the neighborhood, I’d definitely recommend giving them a try.

Korean meets Italian at @sono_nyc, and Sechul Yang has been building toward this his whole career.

Gramercy Tavern, Maialino, Oiji Mi, Ddobar. Over a decade of cooking in some of the best kitchens in New York before opening something of his own. The name means “I am” in Italian, and that’s exactly what this place is. His Korean upbringing, his Italian training, all of it on one menu.

Handmade pasta with fermented sauces. Rigatoni with guanciale and black bean. Bottarga with nori and pollock roe. Glad I got to shoot this one early. 📸
