Overview

By Chris Lukic

The prototypical East Village sushi spot. Dim lights, a DJ, and creative and tasty sushi have made Ave A Sushi an E. Village standard.

History

Disco Sushi, by any other name

Avenue A Sushi opened in 1983, and locals called it Disco Sushi for its strings of Christmas lights, rotating collection of paintings and sparkly disco ball^{1, 2}. It closed for several weeks in the spring of 2010 and reopened, renovated, that April as either Avenue A Sushi or G2 Kurosawa, a point on which even EV Grieve was a little confused, and by March 2011 it was Avenue A Bistro Bar^{1, 3, 4}. That month it closed for good, after close to 30 years^{1, 5}. By May a new sign promised "Mexican-Italian Infusion"⁶.
