Sushi Rock is becoming a reality
About to tie Ragtime as the bar closest to my home, meet Sushi Rock, a rock and roll sushi joint. Walked by last week, work is underway.
This morning, I came across the City Paper update on what it will be:
DJs will add to the effect by mixing and mashing up music videos on seven TVs at the back of the expanded boomerang-shaped bar. The final touch will be, of course, a digital karaoke machine for those who want to take the rock-star trip one step further.
The food, Hudgins promises, will be equally rock star. Public Group is in negotiations with a chef whom Hudgins cannot yet name but hopes to hire by Friday. Sushi Rock will serve "the highest quality sushi that we can bring [and] a very distinctive mix of rolls that will be both traditional and eclectic," Hudgins says. There will also be a hot food component.
From the under-construction SushiRockDC.com: "Spring 2010." I know in the past I've called for a Krispy Kreme, Cereality and grilled-cheese restaurant in the location. This is only rock and roll sushi, but I like it.

Will the DJs feature j-pop? Oh, and if it opens in the next two weeks, let me know since I'm at home visiting my parents before moving to San Diego :)
