Fusion Latino Appears In Old Sips N’ Bites Spot

A new restaurant is readying to open at the old Sips N’ Bites space at the corner of 364 Prospect Avenue at 7th Avenue.

Fusion Latino has moved in — and the dining room and bar area are looking close to being finished. Manager Harry Tavares tells us that the restaurant is planning for an opening on December 1. “It will be a soft opening, and we’ll have an official opening soon after.”

Tavares says the restaurant will be a “family-friendly, casual dining restaurant.”

Fusion Latino is under new ownership. Previous ownership did not fare well with either the most recent Sips N’ Bites — which only lasted a year — or Fellucio’s, which didn’t do much better. The place had been shuttered since the late Spring.

Back in September, Sarah Sawyer, managing director of Bedford 6 Real Estate told us the monthly rent for the restaurant would be $5,000 per month.

We wish them the best and we’ll keep you posted when the restaurant has its opening.
