Greenwich Joins New York at Top of U.S. Sushinomics Index

Sushi lovers in Greenwich, Connecticut, and New York City are getting a raw deal, with both cities ranking among the most costly locales in the U.S. for the Japanese cuisine.

The price of basic sushi at New York restaurants was about 26 percent higher than the national average this year, topping the Sushinomics Cost-of-Living Index for the second straight year. The measure, compiled by Bloomberg Rankings, is based on prices for spicy tuna and California rolls -- the two most common items -- at restaurants in 28 major cities. Greenwich topped the new Sushinomics Premium Priced Index, which ranked the cities by their restaurants’ most expensive sushi rolls.
