SAKAE SUSHI OPENS IN THE WEST VILLAGE

On the heels of its Midtown location, conveyor belt sushi scoots downtown. Singapore’s version of fast food means instant gratification for all of your better-than-average raw fish needs. A 61-foot belt loops from the kitchen to booth seating, rolling out fresh sushi at recession-friendly prices (plates are either $1.90, $3.90, or $6.90). As with the Grand Central outpost, expect interactive menu screens and instant hot water taps (for tea, not bathing) at each table in a cafeteria-like setting—perfect for the gadget-wielding, short-attention-span NYU set. Extra credit if you play Sushi Go Round while the sushi goes 'round.
