Zushi Flirt (now closed)

From the "Sex on the Beach", to the more subtle "Long Slow Comfortable Screw Against The Wall", Drinks have all the fun when it comes to sexual innuendo -- and frankly, it's starting to really piss Food off. Finally doing something about it, Zushi Flirt.

In the breezeway of the new Z Ocean Hotel, Flirt's a slinky, sofa-laden sushi lounge with a raunchy theme (actual motto: "We like it raw") started up by a race car-driving Serb who, while living in suburban Jersey, clearly staved off the boredom by watching Austin Powers like 86 times. Starters begin mild with the "Bed For Two" (layers of rice, spicy salmon, avocado, and tuna resting on honey infused wasabi sauce), ramp up a bit with the "2 Hot 2 Handle" (thinly sliced fillets of yellowtail w/ jalapeño and ponzu), then get flat-out silly with the "Big Balls" (seared spicy tuna balls) and the "Mi-so Horny" soup, which you will not love long time, because it's an appetizer. Rolls include the "Latin Lover" with yellowtail, avocado, mango, and fatty tuna; the "Climax" (lobster, avocado, cucumber, and caviar); and the "Hot Mexican" (tuna, yellowtail, avocado, jalapeño); escaping the punning, classic sushi and sashimi include the medium-fatty bluefin (chutoro), full-fatty bluefin toro, sea urchin, and red snapper (whether that's a pun is up to you).

There's also post-dinner action, like the "Sexpresso" (self explanatory), "Won Ton Luv" (whip-creamed warm chocolate ganache won tons), and an item with sesame-crusted banana tempura, ginger ice cream, and caramel sauce called "Slippery When Wet" -- a covert reminder that if you think you can just walk up and ask for sex on the beach, you're livin' on a prayer.
