"If we could only go to one restaurant for a quick pre-theater meal for the rest of our lives, it would be Yakitori Totto. Up a staircase, this Midtown West has a speakeasy-ish feel, and a huge selection of skewers. Go for some juicy tsukune and tender chicken oysters, as well as non-chicken options, like pork neck (mostly fat, not complaining), and okra with bonito flakes. It’s smokey and loud, with clinking glasses and people laughing because their skewers are just that good." - will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore
