  1. Third floor of a building on 14th Street, above a restaurant you probably already know, Raw Omakase fits fewer than ten people around a counter for two seatings a night. Chef John Yi runs an omakase where the progression moves with the season, nigiri arriving in a quiet, considered order. The aged sake list is worth lingering over. It is small, it is deliberate, and the room fills before most people even find the stairs.

    One honor, in evidence:
