Broadway business update in pictures: I Love Wasabi opens, new 'spa' in old Dilettante space

Open all the way

Here's a pictorial update on some business happenings on Broadway:

• New sushi restaurant I Love Wasabi (CHS Reviews) -- famous for its early signage issues -- was open for business this weekend. And by open, CHS means the entire front of the restaurant was rolled away leaving nothing between the 'Grand Opening' diners and Broadway's vibrant early-nightlife. And by vibrant, we mean interesting. And by interesting we mean all the freaks that make Broadway famous. Which means you will either love that I Love Wasabi is so open to the street or hate it. CHS loves I Love Wasabi for being open to the street but hasn't tried the sushi yet.
• Just down the way, the old Dilettante space is finally showing signs of life again. Last May, Dilettante moved from its longtime location near Broadway and Republican to its new home in the Brix building. Then we heard that B&O Espresso was moving to take Dilettante's space. Then we heard that B&O wasn't actually moving but going to start B&O II at the location but just as quickly learned that, nope, B&O wasn't going to be taking over the location after all. Which all leads us to the sign we saw last night. Coming soon to the former home of Dilettante and almost-home of B&O? A nail and spa shop.
