"At this point, we consider it pretty much a company requirement to have eaten at Cocoron, the Lower East Side soba restaurant. So naturally, we were excited when the Cocoron team opened up what is apparently the world’s first omakase shabushabu restaurant, Shabushabu Macoron. The whole experience, in which one chef cooks a tasting menu ($128) involving ultra high quality pieces of beef and pork for the eight guests in each seating, exceeded expectations. It’s fun, delicious, and literally unlike anything else on this planet. If you have a special occasion coming up and you’re looking to eat somewhere impressive, but you also want to wear jeans while Adele plays over the speakers, come here." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, matt tervooren
