Given all the recent meta-coverage of Jack Lamb and his East Village conglomerate of restaurants, anchored by Jewel Bako, I thought it an apt moment to check in with Greg “sushi spreadsheet” Lippmann. I first met him back in September 04. He’s a securities trader with a penchant for sushi, which he tracks in an excel document. The toro-tome ranks 106 Gotham sushi spots, with Jewel Bako still his number one. Says Lippman, “I still love Jack and the food, [and] had great meals recently at Degustation and [Jack’s Luxury] Oyster Bar.” Number two is Masa – which is my number one, albeit a pricey-special occasion number one, not a spontaneous Saturday night, "Hey, let’s grab a California roll before Talladega Nights" number one.
