Moderate Price but Good Nigiri Sushi: Mishima

Walk around NYC for 10 minutes and you will see at least 3 signs that will say SUSHI.

Sushi has become such common food in NYC that I feel it's become one of those "on the go" type food. I know, it's just me thinking this way. 

Well, out of hundreds sushi places in NYC, the place I go to when I don't want to pay too much but want real nigiri (hand-formed by the chef) sushi (not those California or Boston or Philly Rolls), I go to Mishima, which is located in Midtown East.

I always order their "Sushi for two" which is $50 ($25/ 1person). The sushi they serve depends on the seasonal fish they have that day, so it's fresh. The dish comes with 20 sushi, 18 assorted sushi and two types of rolls to share, so your stomach will be pretty satisfied by the last piece. You can always ask the server about the types of fish they will be serving so that incase if there's a piece you don't like, they will exchange it with another one.

So, if you're desperate for a sushi that's not the one's you can get at Whole Foods, go to Mishima. Get a bottle of sake and sushi, and you will be able to experience how Japanese people enjoy sushi.
