"A small but growing Connecticut-based chain, Mecha is an energetic setting for snacking on roasted mushroom dumplings and grilled edamame with garlic confit and slurping Asian staples like ramen and pho. The downtown hot spot also keeps things lively with playful cocktails like the Lotus Flower Bomb Sangria with plum wine and shochu as well as a cachaça-spiked, mango lassi-inspired bubble tea." - Stasia Brewczynski
