Sushi by M debuts in new space on 2nd Avenue

Sushi By M, which offered an omakase experience from a compact space on Fourth Street between Second Avenue and the Bowery, has moved into a larger space nearby.

Chef Tim is now operating from 300 E. Fifth St. on the southeast corner at Second Avenue. (He applied for a beer-wine license here back in April.)

The new location serves lunch from noon to 3 p.m. and dinner from 5 to 11 p.m. You can visit their website for menus, reservations, etc.

Sushi by M first opened in December 2018.

As for 300 E. Fifth St., the last tenant was Spiritea, a fruit-and-milk tea shop, which debuted here in May 2019 and never reopened during the pandemic. The storefront had been vacant since 100% Healthy Blend (or maybe just Healthy Blend) closed after three months in November 2016. More memorable previous tenants include Dahlia's and Mary Ann's.
