Angel's Share

22 Top Japanese Restaurants to in the East Village - Eater NY

"Nearly a decade before there was an American craft cocktail movement, there was Angel’s Share. Tucked inside the restaurant Village Yokocho, this sultry Japanese speakeasy was among the first bars in the city to utilize the hush-hush entrance back when it opened in 1993. Though it took several years for non-Japanese audiences to catch on, the bar eventually became a massive success — today, a secondary annex has opened to accommodate overflowing crowds. Then and now, Angel’s Share has stood for the Tokyo ethos of disciplined bartending, quality ingredients, and sharply detailed service." - Dan Q. Dao
