"If you're going to open a Nordic-inspired cocktail bar, then you better know what you're doing with aquavit. Kabin comes correct. The Hudson Square spot's signature drink, the Kolio, is like the blonde, blue-eyed Scandinavian cousin of a martini. It’s crisp, salty and herbaceous. With delicious small plates, like pickled mackerel and pan-fried fish cake, this antler-decorated space is a good early-date destination for anyone who likes their bar food topped with caviar—or who wants to telegraph to their companion that $20 for three Swedish meatballs is a price point they are perfectly comfortable with." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick
