A different spin at Sushi

Have you ever tried sushi? If you have, have you ever wondered what it would taste like if it had different ingredients in it? Well, in uptown Manhattan, there is a location called Mama Sushi, these chefs really put a different spin in their sushi. I am a huge fan of sushi and I am always trying new types of sushi. Every time I go to a sushi restaurant I order something old and something new but of course fresh! I am usually into the tempura, spicy tuna with avocado, smoked salmon, and yellow tail.  I came across this restaurant while visiting Fort Tryon Park and the cloisters in the city.  My family and I strolled around the streets looking for somewhere to dine and we found this cute little place. It was very small in size but rich in flavor because after I tasted their sushi rolls, I was immediately impressed and obsessed. I wanted more.
The thing that is so different about this place is that they mix the Japanese traditional flavors of sushi with the latin flavors.  The name of the rolls were something to get kick out of, because they were name of cities from the Dominican Republic. While in the city after visiting central park, take a train to uptown to try this!
