Sushi Roxx is one of NYC’s most unique dining experiences. The trendy Japanese eatery is also a theater of sorts with nightly performances by some of the city’s most talented singers and dancers, who also happen to be part of the wait staff. In between courses, your server may be belting out a classic on the mainstage or twirling around the room in an intricate dance number. We attended a performance once before and were delighted to return to preview their latest show and sample a few new menu items. Among the new menu items are grilled shishito peppers, a spicy light alternative to classic edamame and four new sushi rolls. The new rolls feature an assortment of delectable ingredients such as caviar, crispy nori, snow crab, and lobster. We highly recommend the Van Halen, its a sweet fresh roll with just a hint of spice. We washed down the tasty treats with a few specialty cocktails. One of the newest on the menu is the Black Panther a gin and berry cocktail that is aromatic and refreshing.

There are three different themed performances on their weekly schedule. Wednesday nights you can catch their “I Love Roxx and Roll” compilation of hits. Thursday evenings are an homage to classics with their throwback set playfully entitled “Boogie Nights”. Lastly, starting April 13th Friday and Saturday nights will be devoted to “We Will Roxx You” their latest show of choreographed dance numbers and popular covers. The setlist for this show includes well-known hits from Aerosmith, Van Halen, Journey and Lenny Kravitz to name a few. Sushi Roxx is an entertaining evening of food, cocktails, and music that will leave you hungry for more. Visit SushiRoxxNYC.com for reservations.

written by xoJohn 1 minutes read

Actor Nelson Estevez is a native New Yorker who can be seen playing Casey in Tyler Perry’s latest film, Acrimony. His talents expand beyond acting, as a mixed martial artist and athlete. Estevez considers both mental and physical training to be a key factor in preparing for a role. He says he trains to be an actor the same way athletes train to be in the Olympics, with conscious dedication and conditioning to all aspects of his life. What’s even more impressive is how he uses his mixed martial arts training to choreograph fight scenes. Do we have a future action star among us? From looking at his demo reel, we think so. We were happy to speak with the actor about his career, life, and Hollywood.
