"Taking over the former Downtown Cocktail Room and led by bar industry veterans Evan Hosaka and Daniel Yang, this minimalist, Japanese‑art‑inspired lounge opened October 17 with a cocktail list that leans into creativity. The White Whale Dirty Martini uses fat‑washed Botanist Gin with kombu and MSG, while the Birds of Paradise mixes Espolon Tequila and Chinola Passion Liqueur with honey for sweetness and lime for a tinge of sour." - Ryan Slattery
