Tony’s Sushi (Delivery) - New York
Chic restaurants are great and all, but the endless variety of delivered foods also has a place as one of the more fabulous things about cities. On this Saturday night, it made staying at home to nurse a lingering blister on my heel and a resultant burgeoning limp seem almost luxuriously fun. I’ve been walking the 5-10 miles that I cover in New York everyday and standing for however long at my externship, so all I wanted to do for dinner was shuffle to my front door and be greeted by a glorious bearer of sushi before falling back onto the couch.
And I didn’t even have to make a phone call — I ordered online efficiently through Menu Pages. Despite the odd name, Tony’s Sushi came through with a delightful meal starring perfectly fresh sushi — and large portions.
Sushi Dinner Bento Box (with 6 pieces of sushi, an Alaska Roll, shrimp shumai, miso soup, salad). For quite a while, this will be what I crave when I crave sushi. The shumai were light and good.
Age Tofu, gently fried. It had a delicate, crispy crust and silky interior, but I wasn’t into the strong fermented flavor. So, I drowned it with an accompanying sauce, and it was fine.

I feel for you, Nina. I have a thrice-pummelled right knee (dirt biking injury..don’t forget to wear your knee guards…) that is slowly subsiding from purple to swollen caucasian skin. I, too, lament to the easy-rific value of the Asian delivery…but can only attest to the delivery of super-fine Honey-Walnut Shrimp. It’s the only thing that makes me give in to delivery.
My only comment about your recent blog….those pictures if sushi…I’d still be hungry after that. Add some meat, girl!!!

Haha… I’m still full from that meal.
Coincidentally, I just read a book today called Heat by Bill Buford, and the section where the author trained with a butcher in Chianti has set me off on a major beef craving… so I hope that there will be some meat on this blog soon, too!
And hope your knee gets better fast — I should probably be grateful to just have an annoying blister!
