The food and bright energy remain impressive at 15 year old Sushisamba, - and it boasts one of the best rooftops in the city loaded with outstanding cocktails.

Their menu, created by a team of chefs, features an unlikely - yet winning - combination of Peruvian, Brazilian, and Japanese cuisine. This became one of the first fusion restaurants to make it big in the city - anticipating the likes of today's kimchi burgers or wild mushroom pierogies. 

Sushisamba stands out amongst the darker, more broody digs of many of New York’s eateries with its spacious restaurant, bright Brazilian Carnival colors and ‘Miami meets the West Village’ feel. The main dining room has a lounge, club-like vibe, but the show stealer is the ‘roof garden’ with its lush greenery, lanterns, and open skylights. The Peruvian Anticuchos, with sea bass, miso and Peruvian corn, as well as the Sashimi Tiradito, featuring yellowtail with jalapeno and lemongrass are spectacular.

As stunning as the food is here, the drinks stand up with equal measure. Designed by Richard Woods, their global head of spirit & cocktail development, you can bet these are no basic liquids. The latest menu continues on their concept of Culinary Cocktails, adding in savory elements in unexpected ways, pushing the boundaries of what is normally experienced in drinks, with a special eye for undervalued health aspects of certain ingredients. The Koko Cold Brew, for example, has cold brew coffee infused Bacardi rum shaken with pineapple, cilantro and coconut sugar, keeping a low GI while giving you that extra coffee kick and a slight twist of the cilantro.
