But What If You Don't Want Fish?
Even hardcore sushi freaks sometimes have those nights when a slab of raw fish won't quite hit the spot. On those off days, vegetarian sushi rolls can be the ultimate comfort for the confused eater, but only if they're done right. And they're not always done right. There's nothing sadder than a plain hunk of asparagus stuffed into a crumbling, starchy cylinder. Unless you're eating on an upset stomach and need something that flavorless.
When in NYC and craving some of the above mentioned eats, try out Sushi D in Ft. Greene, Brooklyn, where they serve up a couple of the most thoughtfully executed veggie rolls we've found in the city so far. The 'Greene' roll is asparagus, sweet tofu, watercress and cucumber, all rolled up into the usual rice cocoon, and it's perfection. If you are in the mood for fish there (and the majority of the menu involves it), you can't do better than the 'D' roll: eel and tempura flakes topped with avocado, masago, and a drop of teriyaki sauce.
Rolls at Sushi D will run you from $3 all the way up to $10 for the fanciest of the lot.
