Business Briefs: Openings and Closings

Still waiting – any second now! – on Osaka Steak House and Sushi Bar in the Tarrytown Centre. They thought they might be open by Christmas day, but business owners should know better than to ever give a definite date when so many things might not line up with their plans (like getting final approvals.)

Until they open, there’s menus outside for the taking and they promise:

A wide range of soups, appetizers, salads, special rolls, hand rolls, maki, sushi/sashimi, teriyaki, tempura, noodles, bento boxes, hibachi entrees, and lunch specials.

Lunch specials include: sushi lunch $11, two rolls for $9, three for $11, lunch bento $9.50, and hibachi lunch for $8 to $13.

Use the coupon on the menu to get 15% off as part of their Grand Opening Special.

Their info: 914/631-8888, Mon-Thurs, 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m; Fri-Sat, 11:30 a.m. – 11 p.m., Sun, 1:30 p.m. – 10 p.m. www.osakatarrtyown.com

Kosmos has quietly changed names to Book Tonix. Owner Jos Niforos said he "got tired of people coming in and thinking my name was Kosmo!" He also noted that the shop is now open only on the weekends from 12-6 pm, which gives him the time to focus on his thriving online book business.

Horseman Restaurant, though they promised to be reopen by now, is still closed.
