Sushi Samba: East meets West meets Gramercy’s trendy darlings. Drinks garnished with fresh fruit find a home behind a bar where old world Asian décor and “New World Order” technology mingle surprisingly well in a mélange of Buddhas and flat screens. The crowded bar whips up sweet cocktails featuring muddled fruit, which go nicely with the Japanese-Brazilian-Peruvian dishes like ceviche and crispy red snapper. If only they could shake off the “Sex and the City” fanatics who infest the place, dying to see the booth where Samantha threw a drink in Richard’s face for eating another woman’s, um, sushi. |
