Rabu Sushi

Sushi spots along Second Avenue tend to pack in the after-work crowd, and Rabu Sushi fits the bill without fuss. The stretch between 30th and 31st is dense with quick-service eateries, but this one keeps things simple: table service for lunch and dinner, small plates that work for a solo bite or a shared spread. Healthy options and a casual atmosphere mean you can duck in straight from the office or after a movie at the nearby AMC. The place sits at 547 2nd Ave New York, NY 10016, a block where the noise of the avenue gives way to the hum of midtown efficiency. If you need to call ahead, dial 212-686-8688.
