49 Irving Place, at 17th Street

Noticed crowds at the basement door of a house where Washington Irving once lived? They’re waiting for a seat at a small sushi restaurant named Yama. The gargantuan portions—picture massive boats of sushi that easily feed twice as many as the menu claims —are good bang for the buck. Yama features the usual assortment of maki, sushi and sashimi, as well as tempura and teriyaki dishes. While there may be a wait, it's worth it. If you like sushi, you'll love Yama.
