If you're ever in NYC try the following places:

Sushi Yasuda- you can get fugu here. $$$$
Japonica- $$$$
Kanoyama- $$$
and if you're on a tight budget Sharaku is good -$$

These places sell authentic japanese food, Yasuda, Japonica and Kanoyama all focus on sushi, while Sharaku has much more variety (though their sushi isn't quite as good). Yasua will cost you around $200 per person, but its the best sushi in NYC and you'd be hard pressed to find better unless you make a trip to Japan. Japonica is also pricey, their selection is somewhat limited but the quality of the fish is heavenly. Kanoyama has a lot of seasonal fish imported from Japan- it's my favorite neighborhood joint!
