"Service here is getting better and friendlier than in years past. Sushi is amazing. My faves: tuna tartare appetizer, crispy shrimpy and negi toro sushi. Also tuna and salmon sushi or sashimi."

"The Union Square farmer's market is steps away. Go early Saturday and you will be rewarded with no crowds and the best pick of flowers and produce."

"I loved this hotel. The pool area overlooks the sea, allowing amazing sunset views from the privacy of your own balcony or pool bar area if desired away from the crowds. Clean, modern and five stars."

"People who fill water bottles at the water fountains are super annoying."

"The ultimate order (for me): 4 steamed veggie. 4 steamed shrimp. 4 seared pork. Delicious!"

"This place has everything. It's quickly replacing my need to go to the big stores (with long lines) like Food Emporium, MET, or Whole Foods."
