Eat Poorly

Takahachi [85 Avenue A]

What is in a name as sweet as the stank of raw fish? The most delectable sushi in the East Village. Takahachi draws in hipsters, Tompkins Square Park crusties and authentic slanty-eyed people with its wide array of oriental offerings.

You can get a full meal for about $14, which you can earn from two hours of going to work.

Eat Poorly Math:
1 Hour of Ringing Up Vegetables In Vegetative State =
1/2 Takahachi dinner or
1 salad from Kasimir or
1 cheap pasta dish from Max or
1 drink at The Els or
1 mojito from 7A or
3 PBRs

Perso, I try to work in a little Takahachi once a month. I recommend Maki Avenue A, which is an assortment of California Rolls, Tuna and Yellowtail, all safe options for the sensible sushi eater. Maki Avenue B is more exotic, like eel and fish eggs or some shit. Maki Avenue C is other peoples' leftover Maki Avenue As and Bs. Maki Avenue D is just a plate with a photograph of an AZN prostitute and a gun. On the whole, it's no Momofuku, but perfect for those who panic when leaving the Alphabets. 8.5/10
