Sendo

Many sushi restaurants have lunch specials. Many of those specials hit the main three buckets: soup, salad and a few basic rolls. Not so with Sendo. Opening earlier this summer, this Tokyo-style counter will have you in, out and fed within 30 minutes. But don’t be fooled—just because it's fast doesn’t mean it skimps quality.

No reservations are needed, find the black door on the corner of 31st and 6th (note, it can be a bit tricky to find) and arrive at the second floor for nigiri and hand rolls. But if you really need to get back to work, pick up a premium nigiri takeout box. Just prepare to be the envy of the office
