shimizu restaurant on 51st between 8th and 9th...
It's located about a block from the hotel I'm staying @ and Shimizu is actually in the Washington Jefferson Hotel.
The joint basically closes @ 10pm on a Saturday night. The last orders are taken @ 10:15pm.
Small world, Geoffrey Gilmore formerly the festival director of the Sundance Film Festival was dining @ Shimizu while I was there. Gilmore is now the Chief Creative Director of the Tribeca Film Festival.
