Rex Parker in the News — four squares can be either an "F" or an "M" (47D: Bank robber Willie who co-wrote "Where the Money Was") — William Francis "Willie" Sutton, Jr. (June 30, 1901 – November 2, 1980) was an American bank robber. During his forty-year criminal career he stole an estimated $2 million, and he eventually spent more than half of his adult life in prison and escaped three times. For his talent at executing robberies in disguises, he gained two nicknames, "Willie the Actor" and "Slick Willie".

Sutton is also known as the namesake of Sutton's law, although he denied originating it. In ascending square number order, I had MFFF. I wonder what others had. The question is probably at least partially tainted for many people, who will have realized before finishing what the gimmick was. Still, I'm curious what people's, uh, tendencies were. This puzzle got a *lot* of hype. The house blog tweeted: And I got interviewed by Slate about it (article here). I don't understand the hype, and I think the fact that there *is* hype shows you how behind-the-times and stale the NYT has been of late. This is a "Schrödinger"-type puzzle (where two different letters work for the same square—the 1996 election-day CLINTON / BOBDOLE crossword is probably the most famous iteration of this theme)—this is cool but not new. It's really only the revealer, the central answer, that makes the puzzle particularly contemporary and noteworthy. There's the added bonus of having QUEER be clued in reference to sexuality (as opposed to "oddness") (55D: Part of L.G.B.T.Q.), but none of this feels terribly boundary-pushing.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the concept, but it plays like an easy themeless with good, not great, fill. I solved the puzzle early, with Ben's original (i.e. the pre-edited) clues, and I liked those better than the NYT's version, but that's hardly surprising, since I like the puzzle Ben edits (American Values Club Crossword) much better than the NYT, on average. If this is true:How is that even possible? What year is it? Again, the puzzle is clever, but the NYT doesn't get points for coming around to the acknowledgment of queerness / gender fluidity so belatedly. yo sushi plate coloursIndie puzzles have acknowledged and played around with and built entire puzzles around LGBTQ topics for years. sushi conveyor belt orange countyI'm glad the NYT is warming up to the concept of inclusivity, but tick tock. how to eat sushi properly wasabi

Further, to get technical for a sec, having squares that toggle to one of two options (i.e. between binary elements) is not very "fluid." Also, that damned "F" in the revealer is bugging the hell out of me. Why won't it toggle!? Make SURM Great Again (for the first time)! The only trouble I had with this puzzle was SUTTON (both Ben's and the NYT's clues referred to people I'd never heard of) (47D: Bank robber Willie who co-wrote "Where the Money Was") (Ben had [Percy of civil rights activism]). sushi tei jakarta selatanAnd then the clue on TORO was baffling to me (16A: Fatty tuna part, at a sushi restaurant), and LOW ART was slow to come (11D: Kitsch, e.g.) (in Ben's version, the clue referred to porn). This was a clever, enjoyable puzzle, but not as controversial as some seem to think it is, and certainly not worthy of any aren't-we-progressive self-congratulation on the Times' part.

P.S. apparently the gimmick eluded many people, with some expecting the "X" squares to ... do something. P.P.S. in an awesomely unintentionally sexist turn of events, AcrossLite (my solving software) only recognized the grid as "correct" if you filled in an "M" (or an "MF"). [Follow Rex Parker on Twitter and Facebook] © Free Blogger TemplatesMr. Sushi’s décor is sleek, modern and minimal. No smiling shrimp placemats anywhere. We were led to a cozy booth across from the bar. Our server, soft-spoken but wickedly knowledgeable, delivered us a pair of wine glasses in just minutes… I could not find Mr. Sushi’s phone number anywhere, so I ended up going there for lunch to find it. Mr. Sushi opened in the 580 building on Monday, and it was bustling. I sat by myself at the sushi bar and did the crossword puzzle. (One clue, three letters: “order at a sushi bar.” Eel, of course, which I was actually eating at that moment!). I had some shrimp dumplings, and the white miso soup and sesame-dressed salad that comes with sushi orders over $10.

I had a sampling of my favorite nigiri, like eel and mackerel. There’s no doubt I love sushi, but I also wanted to try some of Mr Sushi’s other offerings. In addition to their namesake, they offer a variety of noodle dishes from various Asian cuisines, traditional Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Americanized appetizers, and even bi bim bap. It’s a pretty broad menu, and the three of us chose very different dishes…WHEN a good friend insisted a few years back on dining by herself at the French Laundry, the renowned Napa Valley restaurant, I found it hard to comprehend. Wouldn’t she miss out on the communal relishing of shared flavors, delights and memories?Of course, she said. But more important to her was the opportunity to savor each nuance with unobstructed emotions, to laugh or to weep as the mood dictated, without the sort of inhibitions companions might pose. Her meal turned out to be exactly the uncompromised joy she had imagined.Being a somewhat stolid male, I have rarely found crying at the table to be an issue.

Yet I have come to embrace my friend’s point of view when I visit exceptional sushi restaurants, and particularly Sushi Yasuda, the standout shrine to sushi now in its second decade on the East Side of Manhattan.Since it opened at the end of 1999, the trio of owners, Naomichi Yasuda, a master sushi chef; Shige Akimoto, the restaurant manager; and Scott Rosenberg, the business and design manager, staked the restaurant’s reputation on a pure, uncompromised expression of the traditional art of sushi making. In 2000, William Grimes, The New York Times’s restaurant critic at the time, awarded Yasuda three stars. That was the last full review of Yasuda. Early in 2011, Mr. Yasuda retired to Japan, leaving the sushi-making operation in the hands of his disciples, Tatsuya Sekiguchi and Mitsuru Tamura. It seemed high time to pay Sushi Yasuda a return visit. Even with the equivalent of a full restaurant lifetime under its belt, when other places might want to renovate or at least freshen up their interiors, Sushi Yasuda continues to make a vivid visual impression.

The dining room is surprisingly small, dominated by an L-shaped sushi bar.Within the room, the floor, ceiling, walls, tables and the sushi bar itself are all made of smooth blond bamboo planks, unadorned and saturated in light. No wine list or cocktails to distract, although a small selection of sake and beer is available. Anything with the potential to divert attention from the food itself has been minimized or eliminated. The effect is to be transported to a calm sanctuary where one may experience sushi artistically, pleasurably and, dare I say, spiritually.Aside from the somewhat brusque experience of making a reservation — you are told when your meal will start and when it must end, issued a confirmation number and ordered to call back the day before your meal — Yasuda is a warm, friendly place. Servers will laugh and joke. While they may coax you in a particular direction, they rarely seem rigid, despite the fairly narrow parameters of the Yasuda vision.Here, the creative liberties taken with sushi are a world away.

Avocado is an unknown. The chefs do not play around with seasoning, adding jalapeño here and mayonnaise there. Monstrous portions of fish do not overlap the rice like flopping fillets. The classic proportions endure.The restaurant takes pains to advise against overly liberal dousings of soy, wasabi or pickled ginger. No better opportunity may exist to take, on its own terms, what sushi has to offer.For better or worse, most people arrive with their own distractions: friends, loved ones, business companions. They may dine in small groups of four or six at the handful of tables, or in twos at the bar. I have done that myself, but I’ve come to believe that Yasuda is best enjoyed solo, at the bar.Here, one of the half-dozen chefs places himself at your service. You may order à la carte or pre-set combinations, but best is omakase (to let the chef choose), which may run around $100. It’s expensive, but a surprisingly good value compared with other sushi bars.Sashimi to start, he asks?

The chef places a long, smooth bamboo tray before me, with a tangle of daikon, some pickled ginger and a bit of coarse salt on one end. Then, on the tray, giant clam, squid tentacles, thick slices of blue-gray mackerel and thin slices of white fluke. The salt is for the clam, and indeed it amplifies the rich flavor. Each item contrasts with the others, the depth of flavor of the clam, the texture of the chewy squid, the bracing freshness of the mackerel, the saline fluke. Now, a new tray and sushi. With quick, efficient movements, the chef slices and scores the fish. Without looking, he grabs a handful of rice, massaging it into shape. Regulars, it is said, can tell the chef by how the rice is shaped. A dot of soy, a slice of kanpachi (young yellowtail), and there it is in front of me.I pick it up with my fingers and place it on my tongue, fish-side down. It feels as if it’s melting in my mouth, the fish supremely pure and the rice delicate and subtle with a suggestion of vinegar and a hint of soy.

The parade of sushi begins, each piece with an individual touch. A bit of coarse salt with buttery sea scallop; a few tiny leaves of cress with Spanish mackerel; a dollop of sweet soy on tender eel; sea urchin so intense, complex, subtle and soulful it sends shivers down my spine.With each piece, I close my eyes as I eat, concentrating on the exquisite flavor sensations. For a moment nothing exists but me and the sushi.Between courses I overhear the couple next to me starting to bicker. “I am not confrontational,” she says. “I want to know why you say that!”I retreat to my cocoon. A cooked dish arrives from a small selection of special appetizers: tiny delicate pieces of grilled monkfish liver, an oceanic foie gras. Then, a fresh sea-eel roll, a quietly delicious dish.And finally, omelet, both smoky and sweet, the perfect final flavor for a meal that was beautiful to observe, both in preparation and result, that stretched the boundaries of deliciousness and that offered a rewarding, though quick (under an hour) contemplative journey.

One disheartening moment: I was served fatty bluefin tuna, prized yet horribly imperiled. I can’t lie, I adored its richness and soft texture, which is like that of Kobe beef. But I did not enjoy it, and on subsequent visits I specified no tuna. With dozens of fish selections that change daily, I didn’t miss it. With its devotion to sushi in its purist form, unalloyed with other Japanese cuisines or American twists, Yasuda occupies a singular position in New York’s sushi landscape, even without Mr. Yasuda. It excelled back in 2000, and in 2011 it continues to meet its high standards. .ATMOSPHERE Calm and cerebral, with the focus squarely on the food.SOUND LEVEL Pleasantly quiet.RECOMMENDED DISHES Sushi and sashimi, flash-fried shrimp, grilled fish liver, flash-fried eel bones.WINE LIST No wine; small selection of beer and sake.PRICE RANGE Appetizers, $4.50 to $24; sushi, $3.50 to $8.50 apiece; omakase, $80 to $200; desserts, $4 to $6.HOURS Monday to Friday, noon to 2:15 p.m., 6 to 10:15 p.m. Saturday, 6 to 10:15 p.m. Closed Sunday.RESERVATIONS Essential, two weeks ahead.
