    replying to u/FancyConsideration63: lol. Sugarfish. It’s affordable, good sushi, but it’s a normal chain not a NYC classic. So for OP it’s a question of what you’re looking for. It’s fine to pop in for a quick lunch if you’re feeling sushi I suppose? But I wouldn’t take this as an “upscale” NYC experience. You want affordable quality with niche sushi vibes, do Sendo for lunch. No reservations, walk in only. Not “upscale” per se, but it is a curated menu and a little hole in the wall. Harriet’s has a great view, but they’re pretty rude. Westlight’s view in williamsburg is better and they’re generally much nicer. Manhatta and Overstory in manhattan also have compelling views, although I’d argue the cocktails are better at the Crownshy bar downstairs (same owner, different bar philosophies). Are the pancakes at Golden Dinner delicious? Yes. Are there a million other amazing brunches you can have in NYC (e.g, Clinton street etc?), also yes. On a weekend it’s a long wait unless you’re in line ~45-60 mins before they open. Maybe weekdays are different lol.

    “Westlight is actually my go-to rooftop but Harriets is more upscale and has better views and food IMO.”
