"Asset brings a shareable menu of Asian specialties to the Upper West Side, including sushi and sashimi, rice dishes and noodles, and larger entrees like skewed wagyu beef and pan-roasted cod. The restaurant is housed in a vast, warehouse-like space that blends a midcentury sophistication with a utilitarian effect that creates an exceptional vibe. This April, for MargaritaCon, they’re creating an Ube Rockin Cocktail, made from the sweet yams that give Philippine desserts their rich purple color." - Stephen Rubino
