"Izzy’s, run by the team that owns neighboring Ardmore Music Hall and Ripplewood, is a Japanese cocktail bar with izakaya bites (Get it? Izzy’s?). Small plates like the excellent XO Hokkaido scallop hand roll and birria bao buns can make a light meal, but the real stars are the cocktails, which take classics and apply a Japanese spin. Izzy’s is small and doesn’t take reservations, so go early and have a Plan B in mind." - jonathan deutsch
