"Go to Bar Futo downtown for the stellar bar program, stay for the yakitori-focused dinner of small plates and skewers like crispy eggplant in garlic miso and succulent gochujang pork belly. Sip a crisp highball, an expressive cocktail like Middle Child — featuring a blend of mezcal, shochu, sesame, chile oil, cucumber, and lime — or venture into the tea and other non-alcoholic drink menus gems like the Black and Mild, a fruity take on smoky lapsang souchong. Elsewhere in the city, chef Jordan Rubin and team win fans with sushi at Mr. Tuna and Thai fried chicken at Crispy Gai." - Stasia Brewczynski
