Kick-Off Spring At Sushi By BOU
Underneath a hair salon (Hong Nails & Spa) and down a flight of stairs through a quasi-Tokyo Alley off 21st Street in the chic Flatiron– is where the trending sushi the phenomenon of omakase is at its absolute most excellent and most accessible. Sushi by Bou/Flatiron offers the perfect date night to kick off the ‘romance season’, which blossoms as per usual– Valentine’s Day.
The omakase phenomenon is still all the rage among New York City sushi heads. The Sushi by Bou fast casual omakase franchise has been popping open flagship locations such as this satellite where Broadway meets 21st. ”I’m just back from opening another one in Chicago and another in Miami,” says the busiest hospitality mogul in New York City as we speak in one Richie Romero, Chief Hospitality VP of the brand.The cozy edgy 12-seat right at the counter offers a 12-course sitting of the finest toro handrolls to the hamachi, the hotel to the unagi, the great miso cod, and make sure to order the Mac Roll of uni, toro, scallops and wagyu–yum! The former is date night perfect, $60, and the 17-course is $100. The sushi is prime, and the two chefs wielding their knives like magicians is a show within the show. It’s a guaranteed unmatched date night experiencing the omakase concept without the sticker shock bill at the end. ”The theme here is akin to the sake dens of the real Tokyo Alley,” affable Richie Romero opines– ”’ but the truly most Valentine’s Day ready Sushi by Bou is the even more incredible location at the Hotel 32/32!”
With fifteen locations and another seemingly opening every other week– the Sushi By Bou satellite at the Hotel 32/32 — a fabulous, bespoke 17-story hotel more akin to a private Manhattan
condo, a residence-styled pied-a-terre than a typical city hotel. It’s low-key, off-the-radar chic and has its Sushi By Bou suite on the 10th Floor. ”It’s one of Manhattan’s most unique hotel secrets. The first-ever hotel room transformed into its sushi den– a bespoke Sushi By Bou in one of the coolest luxury hotels in Murray Hill.” The open-to-the-public satellite on ground level and then upstairs on the 11th Floor is an entirely different experience.

Who could be a more chic and thinking-outside-the-box– romantic this Valentine’s Day? Then, book a King Deluxe Suite at the Hotel 32/32 over any romantic weekend, in fact– and take up the hotel CEO Mark Shemel on his other amenities– such as securing the 10th Floor Sushi By Bou suite with your omakase chef and the perfect ring-and-pop-the-question setting in New York City. That would only be Room 1001 at Hotel 32/32 Sushi By Bou for the most one-of-a-kind omakase experience imaginable. It sounds like an episode ripe for Season 2 of And Just Like That.
And you know what to do– boo!
