Hostos Community College has partnered with its neighbors throughout the years and this latest partnership has several students jumping for joy:  Neighborhood favorite Ceetay, the sushi restaurant in Port Morris is now on the lunch menu on campus.

Welcome2TheBronx first learned about the offering from Alejandro Brown, an aspiring city planner who is currently an honors senior at Hostos as well as President of the Public Administration Club.

“On February 2nd an email blast went out to all students and faculty letting us know sushi is now an option at the café,” said Brown

“Being a sushi lover I got really excited but am always hesitant to jumping at any sushi. When I entered the café to grab some lunch to my surprise and excitement the sushi comes from Ceetay, a neighborhood favorite of mine!” he added.

The offerings are modest with 12 items including 2 snack sized servings of edamame and seaweed salad and it seems Alejandro Brown isn’t the only one happy since the Ceetay Express refrigerator was almost empty when he sent us some pics.  I’m pretty sure the faculty and staff is also happy to have another option in an area that doesn’t have many healthy options to begin with.

Thanks to Alejandro Brown for the good news!  Oh and make sure you follow him on Instagram @dearmrjack as Brown is an avid photographer with some excellent pics of our beautiful borough and other places.
