NYC seafood restaurants for every palate

Tickets to Kyoto are expensive, but the subway ride to Prospect Heights is much cheaper. For a no-frills and super-fun sushi experience (with friendly staff), head to Geido, which has been serving locals since 1985. Don’t expect a dimly lit, hushed dining room, though. Geido’s walls are covered in years of colorful graffiti, the floors are carpeted and the chatter of returning regulars surrounds you.

For a playful take on a classic, order the chirashi (slices of sashimi and egg omelet over rice) or one of the house sushi platters. The menu also includes inventive hand rolls, an array of miso soups, tender broiled squid and peculiarities, like kimpira (stewed burdock root). Wash it all down with Japanese beer or any of the sake or shochu specials. (Geido, 331 Flatbush Ave., Brooklyn, 718-638-8866)
