"Bar Goto is a tiny Japanese cocktail bar on a relatively quiet block of the Lower East Side. It’s sleek and loungy, with a handful of tables and a hardwood bar surrounded by leather stools. Bring a date, drink a martini with a cherry blossom in it, and try the signature crispy wings smothered in a crispy miso sauce. You can also sample some Japanese whiskey, as long as you’re willing to spend around $40 on a single serving. (The whiskey market is rough these days.)" - bryan kim, neha talreja, sonal shah, willa moore
