With a Hot Reputation, Itsu Sushi Opens
Oooh, Itsu Sushi has opened downtown! What's the big deal about Itsu? For starters, it's the from the same chain as the one where former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko had lunch on the day he was fatally poisoned with polonium!
The branch owner Luke Fryer told the International Herald Tribune, "It's greatly increased the profile of our business." Ha. The Itsu in London was given a "clean bill of health," and apparently business is good as they sold out quickly yesterday. Fryer says he is looking to get a liquor license for the 250 Vesey Street and is interested in opening one in Midtown, too. Hmm, while former KGB spies in NYC may not head there, it'll definitely be considered for Law & Order.
Wikipedia on Litvinenko. And Slate wonders who smuggled in the polonium to London.

I refuse to eat sushi in any country other then Japan unless it is flown straight from the Tsukiji fish market itself.
And it must be served on a Naked Japanese woman, with large breasts.
The Itsu logo looks like the MSN logo with (butterfly, lowercase letters).
"...a Naked Japanese woman, with large breasts"
Does such a woman exist?
nisey, good point.
I wonder if it will crash with a stiff change in wind direction like its familiar.
i thought we used plutonium
Oh, downtown huh? Thanks for the location detail.
The 250 Vesey St. location is mentioned above.
I walked past the Litvinenko Itsu in Piccadilly last night and it's still very much closed, with a big sign about the "international espionage incident" and how they'll reopen but they don't know when. A clean bill of health indeed.
Thats the best japanese restaurant that i've ever ate!!!
Nice places and perfect service!!!
