"Chotto Matte is a Union Square rooftop bar that bills itself as a “multisensory experience” and “thrilling visual journey,” which is a polite way to say that anyone with under 10,000 followers on Instagram will probably hate it here. But untzy DJ and expensive food that’s decent at best aside, what this Nikkei spot does have going for it is the fact that you can show up in stilettos, a silk V-neck, or both, and no one will blink an eye. The eighth-floor space has mirrored ceilings, live trees everywhere, and an entryway that looks like a Chotto Matte-branded Yayoi Kusama exhibit, so order a pisco sour and feel free to go wild with the photo opps.
