Stay calm, but there’s free sushi

It’s birthday number one for Sushi on Jones. To celebrate, the outdoor, 30-minute omakase bar is giving out free sushi for an hour starting at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 15. Prepare for a mob scene, because 50 boxes of uni have already been preordered.

Argument in Queens restaurant ends in death

An argument early Thursday morning at Cookie’s Lounge in Ozone Park, Queens has left one dead. Bartender John Savillo argued with a customer, who fatally stabbed him twice in the abdomen and once in the chest, the Daily News reports. The suspect is still at large.

Steve Cuozzo practically wrote an ad for it in yesterday’s Post, and Newsday’s Pervaiz Shallwani notes that it’s particularly well-suited for families and children. Sounds idyllic, which is probably exactly what the EMP team wants.
