Japanese meets Latin at this fusion hot spot in the West Village. With its loungey vibe, DJ spinning bouncy tunes, and sassy crowd knocking back tropical cocktails (think caipirinhas, mojitos and all sorts of delicious rum concoctions), it’s no surprise that the trendy Sushi Samba 7 was featured in an episode of the “Sex and the City.” Although it caters to a clubby crowd, the “Latinese” menu is not to be missed. Try the fresh ceviche, fragrant miso soup, grilled shrimp, and sushi rolls with salmon, tuna and other fresh fish. Come summer, you can soak up the warm nights on the splashy roof garden, enjoying fruity drinks under the stars. On the weekends, Sushi Samba 7 serves up a tasty Brazilian brunch, complete with samba music.
