| Why would you take her to a sushi place if you don't eat sushi? O_o |

| It's her favorite food and she's pretty limited in what she can eat due to various food allergies. I'm sure I can find other things to eat there, I always have in the past when I've taken her to other sushi places. Last edit: 2011-02-09 22:05:30 |

| the japanese eat sushi with their hands, not with chopsticks (as you might see westerners do often) but you can always have yakitori or something else if you dont like sushi (its cooked pieces of meat on a skewer) |

Man tickets for Wicked are expensive, that's a nice gift you are getting her.
Speaking of Sushi... is there a reason you are going to brooklyn? There are some pretty awesome sushi places in midtown (the only good kind of food in the area). Here are some places I've been to that are all super authentic and good. The rolls are probably not the forte at most of these places...
probably Hatsuhana and Nippon are probably your best options if you are looking for a nice date place with good alternatives to Sushi (Nippon claims to grow, thresh, and hand-make their own buckwheat soba noodles). The other restaurants are just my contribution to people who love sushi in New York (not rolls, but quality fish).
Hatsuhana: Great service, surprisingly affordable (probably about $20 to $30 of sushi per person). Large enough with a bit of a fancy vibe.
Sasabune: Upper east side Omakase-only (Chef's choice). Super-pricey at $100+ per person, but they give you amazing food (Abalone, Toro, Clam, etc etc). Alcohol is affordable here. No real atmosphere, but probably the best sushi I've had.
Sushi You: $35 omakase in a fun atmosphere, a bit crowded and lively
Inase: Nice homely place that is family run. Their Chirashi lunch special is a great deal.
Nippon: Servers in tuxes and kimonos, but the atmosphere is not pretentious. I often see diplomat-types go there. Solid, if a little pricey, food

I'm not a big fan of musicals, but I really liked Wicked when it was at Pantages in LA, it was pretty awesome (helps to know the Wizard of Oz storyline if you don't already). As for sushi, learn to love it, my girlfriend had never tried sushi when we started dating 2 years ago and now it's one of her favorite dishes. Start with stuff that's just a crowd pleaser (combo rolls with crab in the middle generally do that).
P.S. Make sure your tickets don't have an obscured view, but if they did they would probably tell you when you were trying to buy them. |

oh jesus, I clunked down like nearly $200 a pop for tickets to Rain a few weeks ago and if my view is anything but fucking perfect I will kill someone.
Also, broadway online has like $30 fees per ticket, if knowing that before hand at all helps quell the rage you'll get when you see that... |

No way tickets that expensive have obstructed views, they always charge a decent amount less for them. Sometimes if you're tall they're actually good seats (your eye level is way over the rail and they're like front-row balcony). |

I'll definitely look into those places! I found that Ki Sushi place through Yelp, when I sorted by highest rating within a certain price range. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks everyone else for the advice as well. I just put in the order for tickets, I hope she likes it. I also hope she hasn't seen it yet, 99% sure but it's possible she could have seen it with friends or something. |

So I looked over the places Michaelj listed, does anyone else have any input on those? It would be nice since they are closer to the theater but from the pictures I'm not sure they're as good for dates. Or maybe Ki Sushi just has better photographers. lol
They all have good ratings on yelp so that doesn't help XD. |

| Settled on Hatsuhana, definitely the most convenient in terms of traveling. I'll let you guys know how it goes, thanks! |

Quick post Valentine's date update: Things went great, she really liked Wicked and was very impressed by Hatsuhana! Thanks so much for the recommendations/advice! Overall I don't think the date could have gone much better than it did.  |
