"For a slightly upscale hot pot date, consider this Japanese spot in the East Village, where you can sit in a casually stylish wood-paneled room and stir thinly-sliced wagyu ribeye into a bubbling pot on your table. Each shabu shabu or sukiyaki meal comes with assorted vegetables, salad, rice, ice cream, and your choice of two proteins (priced individually, ranging from $35 to $80). It’s not a huge place, so make a reservation ahead of time. " - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine
