EPTAlso, I'm trying to schedule this all for this upcoming Friday since the game studio I work for has a deadline conveniently placed on Valentine's Day. Ugh... Not sure if that makes a difference.

Speaking of Sushi... is there a reason you are going to brooklyn? There are some pretty awesome sushi places in midtown (the only good kind of food in the area). Here are some places I've been to that are all super authentic and good. The rolls are probably not the forte at most of these places... probably Hatsuhana and Nippon are probably your best options if you are looking for a nice date place with good alternatives to Sushi (Nippon claims to grow, thresh, and hand-make their own buckwheat soba noodles). The other restaurants are just my contribution to people who love sushi in New York (not rolls, but quality fish). Hatsuhana: Great service, surprisingly affordable (probably about $20 to $30 of sushi per person). Large enough with a bit of a fancy vibe. Sasabune: Upper east side Omakase-only (Chef's choice). Super-pricey at $100+ per person, but they give you amazing food (Abalone, Toro, Clam, etc etc). Alcohol is affordable here. No real atmosphere, but probably the best sushi I've had. Sushi You: $35 omakase in a fun atmosphere, a bit crowded and lively Inase: Nice homely place that is family run. Their Chirashi lunch special is a great deal. Nippon: Servers in tuxes and kimonos, but the atmosphere is not pretentious. I often see diplomat-types go there. Solid, if a little pricey, food | ||

P.S. Make sure your tickets don't have an obscured view, but if they did they would probably tell you when you were trying to buy them. | ||

Also, broadway online has like $30 fees per ticket, if knowing that before hand at all helps quell the rage you'll get when you see that... | ||

No way tickets that expensive have obstructed views, they always charge a decent amount less for them. Sometimes if you're tall they're actually good seats (your eye level is way over the rail and they're like front-row balcony). | ||

I found that Ki Sushi place through Yelp, when I sorted by highest rating within a certain price range. Thanks for the tips! Thanks everyone else for the advice as well. I just put in the order for tickets, I hope she likes it. I also hope she hasn't seen it yet, 99% sure but it's possible she could have seen it with friends or something. | ||
