A New Year’s Bash for Noda
After four years at 6 West 28th Street, this Japanese omakase restaurant, which was awarded one star in the 2021 Michelin Guide, has moved to a somewhat larger location. In addition to 10 seats at a lavishly decorated sushi bar, there are four tables in a lounge. The new restaurant includes a binchotan grill for the chef, Shigeyuki Tsunoda, whose tasting menu of 20 to 22 courses will cost $315. For the opening, on New Year’s Eve, the partners — David Hess, Justin Hauser and Aiden Carty — plan a $950 blowout that includes cocktails, Japanese whiskies, and 20 to 22 courses paired with Champagnes including Krug, Dom Ruinart and Dom Pérignon. (Prices include service but not tax.) In the spring, an intimate spot for cocktails, Bar Noda, will be added.
