Lunch At Komegashi (Closed after 2005)

Did you know about the lunch special at Komegashi? For $13.50, you get a cup of miso soup sweet with daikon radish, a refreshing mesclun salad, a maki of the day (today, yellowtail scallion) and three skewers of the grilled meat or fish of your choice. Komegashi, a Japanese fusion spot known for its inventive dishes (steak frites maki, anyone?) really shines in the grill department. My salmon, yellowtail and yellowfin tuna were tasty and tender, and the accompanying olive-anchovy tapenade was addictive. (Other available skewers include ribeye, duck, and asparagus.)

Komegashi: 928 Broadway, (212) 475-3000.
