ARTIST SEBASTIAN MASUDA’S SUSHI DELIC PRIVATE OPENING PARTY
June 28, 2023

SPLASH REPORT: SUSHIDELIC is a new restaurant created and designed by Japanese artist Sebastian Masuda from Harajuku’s Monster Cafe’s fame in Tokyo. We were in attendance at the private opening party last night, and of course, we made a SPLASH!

Upon stepping in, be prepared to feel as if you traveled to your favorite childhood Wonderland as you will feel nostalgia from the ambiance. SUSHI DELIC is a happy place – it is elegantly designed with subtle and bold pieces. From the neon pink decor onto the rotating cats hanging from the ceiling, the lipstick tube shaped lightbulbs, and the conveyor created the allure of being whisked away while still in NYC.

I recommend all sushi enthusiasts and those who are into culinary experiences to go to SUSHI DELIC in Soho, located on 177 Lafayette Street, New York, NY 10013. The DJ pumped up the jams and the transitions were fire, the delicious appetizers were making their way around (my favorite was the Salmon roll), and an assortment of Japanese sake, craft beer, and mixed drinks were served. Overall, it was a great night!

Background: Get ready to embrace the immersive “kawaii” (describes the culture of celebrating all things adorable and embracing fictional characters as the embodiment of positivity) experience with spectacular and idiosyncratic designs, a cool vibe, and the next upcoming hotspot. Sushi Delic unique aesthetic is captivating, and the drinks and bites are nothing short of delectable.

Masuda has long pushed for kawaii culture to be an inclusive means of expression and a way to bring the world together. “If I can help people recognize the kawaii spirit in others, acknowledge this inquisitiveness, then I think I can create better relationships and a better world.”

CONGRATULATIONS SEBASTIAN on opening your first NYC establishment! SUSHI DELIC opens TODAY, June 28th. Make your reservation TODAY by emailing info@sushidelic.net to partake in an innovative, creative, and unique sushi experience. SUSHI DELIC Website

I pulled up to the BIGGEST BRUNCH and Block Party in my city YEAAAA!!! That being New York City (HARLEM) of course that was hosted by Juelz Santana at BLVD Bistro NYC (2149 Frederick Douglass Blvd, New York, NY 10026).

DJ Pete kept the crowd rockin’, two steppin’, and belting our hearts out with his mixes. DJ Hollywood gave us some old-school smooth flavor on the mic.

Casa De Lobo brings a different vibe every night from Thursday to Sunday. They provide premium ingredients for the delectable small and large plates, handcrafted drinks, and amazing service. Be sure to follow the WOLF (literally) as the ambience transforms into a sleek, sexy, and classy atmosphere. The woody esque decor is allows you to escape into a forest like wonderland.

You will feel as if you entered a whole new world. It is definitely the atmosphere for a once in a lifetime moment you want to be present for. I tried Grilled Spanish Octopus for the first time EVER here and it was delicious. I can commend the chefs for introducing such a delicacy to my palette. It was made to perfection with: black ink, shaved red onions, cilantro, and burnt blood orange vinaigrette.

The resident DJ Rock On will have you time traveling with classic hits that will test your vocal skills. You couldn’t tell me I did not sound like Patti Labelle I sang my heart out. From the blends, transitions, and music selection it is sage to say you will feel like the King or Queen of Karaoke.

Every single plate and dessert picture shown below was exquisite. From the portions being generous, excellently plated, and to sum it up in one word “scrumptious.” The staff customer service was very personable matched with high magnetic energy making you feel at ease as this exclusive experience allowed you to live in the NOW!
