Best of NYC Food Mash-Ups: Sushi Burrito @ Uma Temakeria (Chelsea) 

Sushi Burrito

Sushi burritos are officially “a thing” now in New York City (isn’t this a wonderful world!?), and Uma Temakeria is the original eatery to serve up these tasty rolls in Manhattan. Acclaimed chef, Chris Jaeckle, created the menu, which includes the Uma-Ritto (salmon, tuna, tobanjan mayo, cucumber, carrots, tempura crunch, sesame seeds) and the Salmon-Ritto (salmon, avocado slices, cucumber, daikon, zesty citrus). You’ll even occasionally find specialty burritos on the menu, including the Black Seed Bagels’ Roll, which is available through April 9th, 2017. Additional location in Midtown West. 64 Seventh Ave., 646-360-3260, umatemakeria.com

Best of NYC Food Mash-Ups: Popsicle Wine @ Loopy Doopy (Battery Park) 

Popsicle Wine Loopy Doopy

What’s better than a chilled glass of wine on a warm spring evening? Loopy Doopy takes things one step further by adding in popsicles to mix. This rooftop bar serves up an assortment of People’s Pops served in your choice of wine. Cocktail hour has never been so fun, and most of New York agrees, so make sure you show up early to avoid the usual two-hour wait. Nope, we’re not exaggerating… but aren’t breathtaking views and a popsicle adult beverage worth it? Loopy Doopy is set to reopen for the 2017 season on April 1st, 2017. Conrad New York Hotel, 102 N. End Ave., 646-769-4250, conradnewyork.com
