"This Japanese spot on 10th Street in the East Village has set up individual heated pods on their sidewalk - meaning your bottom half can stay warm as you stir thinly-sliced wagyu ribeye into a bubbling pot on your table and then dip it in ponzu. Each shabu shabu or sukiyaki meal comes with assorted vegetables, salad, rice, ice cream, and your choice of two proteins (all the proteins are priced individually, ranging from $29 to $65). There are only a couple of outdoor tables, so make a reservation here ahead of time." - hannah albertine
