Simply Sushi - Tomers Market

If a quick bite or solo sushi is the afternoon goal, Simply Sushi - Tomers Market on Lexington Ave fits neatly into the Upper East Side’s lunch routine. The small plates and light lunch draw regulars who need a healthy option between errands or a casual dinner post-work.

1201 Lexington Ave sits between a late-night bodega and a bank’s glass frontage, making it a landmark once you’re scanning the block. The building share is typical of the neighborhood balance—quiet traffic on side streets yet visible from both directions¹. Inside the storefront sign glows after 5, signaling an expanded evening menu when East Side dinners wander toward small plates and rolls they can split or savor alone. Healthy options still headline the short handwritten board, a cue that convenience doesn’t outrank nutrition tonight.
