All the Cherry Blossom-Themed Menus to Look Forward to This Month
"The White House and Planet Word Immigrant Food spots are celebrating the occasion from March 21 until April 20. Japanese-born chef Ben Murray’s menu includes a new tuna poke ($17) made with strawberry ponzu, avocado, candied citrus, and pickled onion. To sip, the Coco Blossom mocktail ($8) is a tangy beverage made with blood orange juice, coconut water, coconut syrup, pineapple, lime, and honey. At its Planet Word locale only, the team serves a nutty and sweet iteration on a classic — an ube Manhattan cocktail ($16) made with whiskey, amaretto, Japanese plum vermouth, yuzu bitters, and ube extract." - Vinciane Ngomsi
