This midtown brunch will let you and your besties live out your podcast dreams
Do you remember the days when you could head to the mall with your BFFs, record a music video and take it home on a VHS tape? If you do, I likely just gave you a blast from the past. (If this didn't ring any bells, I have to assume your birthday is after 1990.) While galivanting to the mall to record music videos are out, heading to a restaurant to record a podcast is apparently in. Yes, a Times Square restaurant is inviting you and your crew to shoot your own podcast each and every weekend. Even better, brunch is involved. Hosted at Fushimi, the Japanese lounge and eatery invites you to dine and dish, literally. Held every Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5pm, the restaurant is hosting the dual event: Bestie Brunch and Podcast and Dine. Naturally, the weekend event starts with brunch. Priced at $39 per person, the prix-fixe menu starts with a choice of appetizer: a seafood bisque or an avocado cucumber salad. As for the second course, guests can choose from the kitchen or the sushi bar. Kitchen entrees include Grilled Salmon, Ribeye Steak and a whole Branzino, while sushi and nigiri sets are available at the sushi bar, as are rolls with rock shrimp tempura and spicy tuna. Mimosas, Bellinis and Sangrias are priced at $8, or you can go unlimited for $40 more. Once you and all of your crew are properly full and lightly buzzed, now is the time to record. Converting a portion of the bar and lounge into a podcast nook, up to four people can make the podcast of their dreams. Backed by professional-grade equipment, Fushimi's set up includes access to microphones, HD cameras and a RodeCast mixer. Completely new to the podcast game? An equipment manager will be onsite to guide up-and-coming personalities through the process. Each group will leave with a 10-minute edited video, plus video clips ready to be blasted on social media.
