#94 - Reaction Thursdays at Nisen

If you're looking for a fun night out, but still have to get up for work Friday morning, head out to , where every week they host , in which the posh sushi palace transforms into a chic lounge.

While Nisen is known as Commack's top-tier sushi destination, it's quickly earning a reputation as a hot spot on the Long Island social scene as well.

On Thursday nights, the futuristic eatery becomes a full-on feast for the senses: colorful lights set a fun mood as dance music pumps from the DJ station, and lanterns and curved, modern furniture make the building look like a work of art.

It's not all about the scenery, either—drink and appetizer specials are offered throughout the night, and of course, mouth-watering sushi is always served up fresh from the chefs who assemble it right before your eyes behind a sleek bar. 

While the food can certainly be pricey, there is no cover charge, making Reaction Thursdays a great after-work splurge. So the next time you're looking for a date-night spot, or would like to let loose after a long week at work, save yourself the hassle of a trip to NYC and depart from the usual bar scenes in Huntington Village and Port Jeff. Opt for something local and head to Nisen.
