midtownuser Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 does that mean you will be open on the night of new year's eve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraveSushi Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 does that mean you will be open on the night of new year's eve?I really really hope so!! hahaWe're not sure what to do about New Years yet if we are open.We're trying to decide if we should just do business as usual or...maybe do like a private party where theirs an open bar, selected all-you-can-eat sushi bar and maybe do a cover along with it. It's hard to say what will make it a successful New Years. I would invite people on here for pre-sale tickets or whatever...idkWhat would most midtowners agree with? Any suggestions??We gotta keep it mind it is a 'restaurant' not a club...so I and the other owners may do like the private party thing we wanted from say 9pm-1am then open for business as usual for after hours til 4am. We don't know. haha what do you think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraveSushi Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Don't you think 4am is a little early to close on NYE? most people will be leaving the clubs around that time.Yea it depends on how business is doing really. If we're still slammed at 3am or 4am we may stay open even longer still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraveSushi Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) Hey guys,Sorry If I haven't been on here lately. Been real busy with trying to get the place open.Their have been some delays but nothing drastic. So we have to push back the opening to January 2009.The website was down temporarily because we updated the site and switched to a better and faster server.The website is still in the beta phase. Theirs still many updates to the website that need to be done.As far as the exterior rendering, that was just a teaser and it may or may not happen, it's not our call, we can only hope it will.Either way, we will still open for business in January 09!

brian0123 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Very nice looking on the inside. My wife and I can walk to your place from our house (I walk to Cali Sandwich all the time)...so I just now need to convince her to like Sushi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeats Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Very nice looking on the inside. My wife and I can walk to your place from our house (I walk to Cali Sandwich all the time)...so I just now need to convince her to like Sushi Heh. Start her off easy with hand rolls and other non-threatening items, just so she can get the gist of the flavors. Then start working your way into actual sushi (again, the easy stuff like ebi) and move up from there. That's what I had to do with my husband. Also, for the rest of the thread, an article this morning on Crave at the Houston Press food blog: http://blogs.houstonpress.com/eating/2009/...eak_preview.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggity Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The Red Door at 2:00 a.m. will stumble directly into Crave (although that may go a long way towards deterring regular diners).I'm not sure how many late-night restaurants could survive without bar traffic. Typical Houston Press garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeats Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'm not sure how many late-night restaurants could survive without bar traffic. Typical Houston Press garbage. Agreed, 100%. I'm just hoping that the majority of the clientele isn't the same clientele that frequents places like Pub Fiction. If the folks from Leon's for example, or the Continental Club or Big Top make it over to Crave, on the other hand, that would be awesome. I'm an elitist asshole like that.

diggity Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 that crowd is too busy trying to score smack at two in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeats Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I prefer a crowd that's trying to score smack over a crowd that's trying to score. Much less Drakkar Noir and pageant makeup overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the interior looks more Pub Fiction-esque, though. :/ Not that its a bad thing, but it might draw that crowd heavily. Well, I'll always have Late Nite Pie!
