A sassy spot rolls into Lincoln Square, adding more variety to this area that is known for mostly German and American contemporary fare. Tank Sushi, featuring Asian-Latin fusion, offers quirky tapas such as the signature dish, Shinto spirit sticks (skewered veggies and meats with sauces). Co-owned by Franco Gianni (who is also a partner in trendy spots Sushi Wabi and Rushmore), Tank Sushi also delivers a stylish scene in an area overflowing with casual eateries. Guests can settle into the sushi bar area (accommodates up to 10), which is made of solid zodiac stones, at one of the many tables or reserve space in the private dining area (up to 14 guests). For those who'd rather stick to more traditional sushi offerings, they'll be happy to see all their favorites on the menu. But for those who need that spice, look for Latin influences in the dinner as well as cocktail menu. -- Audarshia Townsend: AOL CityGuide
