"Encompassing just 600 square feet, Bar Goto replicates the feeling of drinking in a tiny Japanese pub, of which there are millions spread through the country. Somehow owner Kenta Goto fit 40 seats into that diminutive space, decorated with warm wood, and here the Pegu Club alum serves a short list of cocktails made with Japanese ingredients (think dashi and sakura blossoms) that reflect his time in both New York and Tokyo. To soak up the booze, there are top-notch bar snacks like okonomiyaki and ume (plum) vinegar octopus." - Kat Odell
