Pisces: $12 all-you-can-eat sushi lunch special, every weekday
Location: Midtown
Menu: You have 18 sushi roll options as well as “kitchen items” like fried rice. Salads are an extra $2 (don’t order this and pretend like you’re healthy).
Advice: Order three to five rolls on your initial order. All rolls are half of a full roll (aka four pieces). Make an aggressive order at the onset to set the stage and to keep your waitress from doing a ton of back and forth. If you’re a ginger lover (I am) ask for extra — you’ll need it.
