Here's an unusual e-mail we received from our friend Lisa Sokoloff:
Rumor has it that the best sushi/Japanese restaurant in NYC, bar none (even Nobu and Sushi of Gari), may be closing in the next 7-10 days because of the economy:
Le Miu
107 Avenue A (Manhattan)
212-473-3100
If you can get there before the chef [Yaz] leaves, do so. You won't regret it.
Sit at the sushi bar and ask Yaz to plan the menu. I promise an experience you won't forget. The cooked food is as good as the sushi. I have had wagu beef, fois gras, dumplings, you name it. If you go, please tell them Irv sent you.
