Miyako (as others have posted already).  Means "cherry", as in tree.
Right?  Anybody?

Oh, too bad.  I haven't been to the new location yet, but the old one
in the Village had a bar.  No bar in the new one?

Yuck!  (Sorry, couldn't help it.)

Hmm, from what I've seen and heard, the main obstacles to qwik'n'eezy
sushi-at-home are: insufficient knowledge of raw fish on part of cook,
inadequate knife (sushi knives are pretty specialized), and unsuitable
rice.  (The first two are not a factor for California or cucumber or
"spider", etc., rolls.)  So the Chinese takeout rice worked fine?

(This is a great idea; thanks Pat.  Somehow, because I know I can't
get fresh enough fish, I had given up on all home sushi.)
