Latitude 43 Sushi Pit, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

The centerpiece of the place is the sushi pit.
I guess they were a man down, operating with two sushi chefs.  Overheard in the pit was that one of the sushi chefs quit because he was taking the train from Boston and they closed after the last train left to get him home.

We had a spicy tuna roll, excellent.  A California roll, also excellent made with real crab.  Edamame which I prefer with a little more salt and a shrimp tempura roll which we both didn’t care for because the shrimp wasn’t crispy in the roll and found the addition of carrot to be odd.

Compared to Sushi Island, Latitude 43 had one roll that was slightly better, one that was as good and the other that wasn’t close. The room at Latitude 43 is beautiful and lends itself to community conversation which I dig.

The prices were higher but reasonable when you take the room into consideration.

The new sign outside, hip and happening.

Latitude 43 Octopus Sculpture, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

The Mrs was impressed with the decor.

The octopus sculpture hanging over the sushi pit was really something.

The Mrs wondered if you were to start up your own joint if you could contact the local art colleges and see if they would be willing to have a contest for its students with the winner having their piece displayed.
