"Somehow, the swimming pool-sized skylight isn’t our favorite thing about this Japanese restaurant in the Hotel on Rivington. That honor goes to the tontoro, a juicy grilled pork jowl, glazed in rich brown miso and garnished with crunchy peanuts. Come for afternoon sunshine and izakaya snacks on the Lower East Side." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
