RECOMMENDER
WHAT THEY SAID
Loves the citrus, yuzu and shiso with crushed ice cocktail. It’s like a lemon/lime gatorade. One of the best in the city. The trouble is ordering the cocktail... it’s named “The Groovy.” I once had to apologize to a date before ordering the cocktail.
Chef Jason Hall of Gotham Bar and Grill
The other cocktail den Gotham Bar and Grill chef Jason Hall likes to hit is one of the granddaddies of stealthy entrances, Angel’s Share on East Ninth Street in the East Village. To get there, you head up the stairs in the adjacent building to Sunrise Market, the Japanese grocery store. You’ll end up inside a brightly lit Japanese restaurant. Make a u-turn for the masked entrance to Angel’s Share. Jason’s favorite drink is The Groovy - citrus, yuzu and shiso.
For interesting cocktails.
Sommelier John Slover, Wine Director at Bar Henry
It’s worth going for the cocktails and for Johnny’s Tofu.
