It’s been a while since we last stopped by Haru Sushi, and boy have we missed it! Haru Sushi is one of the hottest sushi restaurants around, boosting elegant decor, superb services, and of premium sushi. Last week, we stopped by their oh so chic and trendy Gramercy Park location for a fun night food and cocktails. Guests of the evening were whisked off to a private room upstairs from the main floor to enjoy a sampling of the new seasonal offerings. For the Spring/Summer season, Haru’s Executive Chef, Steven Ferdinand added 5 new protein-packed, beach body building seasonal food items to the menu, along with 2 amazing cocktails. While waiting for the first course we enjoyed the Strawberry Margarita, a sweeter fresher version of its more traditional recipe. The strawberry cocktail features, Avión tequila with agave nectar, fresh strawberries and for an herbaceous touch basil.
