Sushi by Scratch Restaurants: New York

The evening leans into a 1920s speakeasy theme, split into two acts. It starts with canapés in the front before moving to the back, where the chef prepares and explains 16 nigiri courses followed by a single dessert bite. There is no enforced dress code, but the dining format is non-negotiable: every guest must participate in the tasting menu, as the kitchen does not offer children's options or a la carte dishes.
