"Holiday shopping in Hyde Park makes one feel especially sophisticated, popping from designer shops to curated boutiques to find the perfect gift. If the quest has you feeling both creative and a little upscale, keep that vibe going at Ro, where modern Asian food is served inside a chic, elegant space. Opt for the omakase lunch, where you’ll be served seven courses of sushi from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market. Or, if you’d rather just grab a cocktail, sip on a Maboroshi made with Ketel One vodka, umeshu, lychee, elderflower liqueur, and lemon juice." - Matthew Meltzer
