JP SEAFOOD

If you're just looking to enjoy fresh sushi with a kaleidoscopic mix of professors, blue collars, and no-nonsense womanists, then you can always go to Cambridge, San Francisco, or Key West. But JP SEAFOOD is more than just a free-thinking veggie-friendly destination — it's also a neighborhood hangout with a pick-up window waiting area that doubles as a social scene, and a sushi bar that has regulars who hang like Norm and Cliff. As for the vittles, this spot produces absolutely unbelievable feather-light tempura that melts on the tongue, not to mention some of the most famously fresh seafood on the south side of the city.
