> was the dumbo a true duplex vs. that loft mezzanine crap?
Looks like a true duplex, based on the floorplan.
Sadly, one of those floors appears to have no windows at all.
That explains the price.
oops, I thought I had clicked for biggest sales thread…seems I clicked restaurants instead.
Blue Ribbon sushi is spectacular. It is certainly not bargain priced, but for the quality it is not outrageous.
Re Park Place — that’s a significant price drop from the last ask for a property in a very good physical location that looked fine from the pictures (and also in what I think is probably the most preferred layout for a 2 family — triplex over garden rental). Anyone ever look at this place?
Blue Ribbon is definitely pricey, but TOTALLY worth it in my opinion. Everything there is delicious and fresh. Never had a bad bite of anything. It’s not ridiculous though…100 bucks for 2 people is a great meal.
The only appetizer I ever get at Oshima is their “Oshima Salad” and I could eat it every day. So lovely. I also really like the people who run the place and the garden out back is so nice. Plus, it’s a 30 second walk from my house. 🙂
But I was surprised that both places were actually quite generous with the size of the sushi portions. I though Yamato had much better appetizer selection though. It’s a trade-off.
I have not yet tried Blue Ribbon but have definitely heard good things. Pricey????
Oh yes, I remember you saying that.
The outside of the newly renovated Yamato looks slick…
I like Oshima and they had better sake. The only problem I had with them was they had what I considered inferior Toro. I am a Toro snob.
I haven’t Dave, but I walked by the other day and the renovation looks nice.
I don’t actually ever go to Yamato…I think Oshima at Berkeley Place and 7th Avenue is better, personally. Second only to Blue Ribbon (in the neighborhood).
Taro is good too, just not very inviting.
Oshima is my go to place.
11217, have you been to Yamato since they reopened???
