Friday nights vary between super-excitement for the weekend, and, on tougher weeks, sheer exhaustion from an endless week.... this past Friday was more of the exhaustion category, but we still craved a yummy meal after a travel day at work. We had thoughts of Mary Ann's margaritas and Mexican in the Chelsea, which is always tasty, but walked in and decided it was way too loud, couldn't hear each other talk. There's a nice strip of restaurants along that block, so we decided to check out Blue Ginger for some sushi.
Blue Ginger has a nice feel, classic sushi restaurant, sushi bar with chefs rolling and chopping at high speed. The windows and front were open for the warm summer breezes. We sat in a corner table in the front to get the breeze. It wasn't too crowded and definitely quieter, service was efficient.
We stuck with the classics (for us) sushi-wise, but all was very tasty. They do have a list of special (i.e. fancy and more expensive) rolls, which I'm usually very tempted by, being a woman who loves many flavors, but this night I decided to stick with those I know. So I had the Alaska, spicy tuna, and eel avocado rolls, plus some pork gyoza. Hubby had spicy roll combo that he always loves, with the salad. Their ginger dressing was particularly good. Eel was a tiny bit chewier than I'm used to; otherwise all was great. The presentation/plating was very nice. Nice cozy ambiance at night for a date. Lunch specials sound good for those who work nearby too!

this place is great when I'm in the mood for an upscale sushi experience. If you're ever on the UES try a place called Wasabi Lobby - its more low key but excellent. They get very creative with their rolls, et al.
Sounds good, thanks Douglas! Always love creative rolls.
I like ginger and it taste. It increase the taste of any recipe and best for stomach. I like it and i use in in every own recipe. Nice blog and i like it.
