"If you’re looking for a dark, small, date-y spot for the evening, we have an idea—so long as your date likes chicken. The Chinatown yakitori restaurant that specializes in, yes, America’s favorite bird, is doing a $250 menu at the chef’s counter that includes a welcome drink, caviar, and wagyu. Bring someone you want to welcome 2025 with, and watch Chef Kono grill some chicken liver over an open flame as the clock strikes midnight." - willa moore
