The Z Ocean Hotel, formerly known as The Regent and home to Table 8 Restaurant, has opened Zushi Flirt -- formerly Flirt Sushi, which went out of business rather quickly after opening at Washington Avenue and 12th Street three years ago. Owner Marko Radisic still has his original Flirt Sushi in Allendale, New Jersey, and the menu at Zushi will be the same. This means rolls with names like Sexyshimi, Viagra, and Foreplay. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but calling sushi by stupid names is already overdone -- and, for that matter, so are expensive sushi bars on South Beach. But as long as the plan is to ruin the cool ambiance of the Z Hotel lobby with commercial enterprises, I think there may be room to squeeze in a Dunkin' Donuts stand just to the right of the check-in counter.
