Williamsburg
A psychedelic Asian-fusion restaurant opened at 475 Driggs Avenue, between North 10th and 11th Streets. Gothamist has some crazy pictures of the joint, named Fushimi, and calls the place a “gargantuan and batshit crazy Asian fusion restaurant that’s destined to totally blow late night yupster mind.” New restaurant Mercado on Kent is opening its market section of the restaurant this Friday and will offer breads, charcuterie and olive oil, among other things. Pillar and Plough, the restaurant at the Hotel Williamsburg, closed after two months. The reason seems unclear, but there has been word that the hotel is being sold to another owner. Finally a sewing and craft company, SEWMoni, is opening at 330 South Third Street, according to Here’s Williamsburg.
