I'm a very adventurous eater and like almost all types of "cuisines". One of my favorite meals was the tasting menu at Nobu next door. All advice would be greatly appreciated!

And it's definitely adventurous! Fri May 26 13:58:40 -0700 2006 1242919 0 Emily Jean 1 1243163 If you would like a less expensive Nobuesque tasting menu, try Le Miu, at 7th St. and Ave. A. It offers a $45 and $65 tasting menu with several small appetizers, nouvelle sashimis, a hot entree, sushi, and dessert. I'd say the food is a notch below Nobu/Nobu next door, but it's very pleasant, quiet, and friendly. I think Bouley for lunch is a fantastic deal ($38 prix-fixe), as is Le Bernadin's.
