So, you recently realized that slurring a Champagne-induced vow at 1 a.m. to embrace green juice and a 5 a.m. gym time was a lot easier said than done. But you still wanna drop (at least some of) the pounds you packed on during the calorie-awesome holidays. To help you get — and stay — healthy, we thought it was the perfect time to shine a spotlight on one of our favorite diet-friendly meals: sushi. It doesn't get much healthier than bite-sized rolls of rice and raw fish wrapped in vitamin-packed seaweed (suck it, kale smoothie).
But in a city where sushi restaurants are as abundant as Starbucks, it's hard to know which one to choose. Are you ready to up your hand-roll game? It's time to say "sayonara" to sucky sashimi and maki with our list of the 17 best sushi-serving spots in town. From high-end restaurants like Morimoto in Chelsea Market to BYOB, under-the-radar joints like Poke, you'll never have to chew on a stale California roll again.
