Established in 1996, Sakagura has been a pioneer in introducing New Yorkers to the world of sak and continues to be one of the top sake bars in the United States. Their one-of-a-kind menu consists of over 200 kinds of carefully selected sakes, authentic tapas-style Japanese dishe...
211 E 43rd St Ph (Bet. 2nd and 3rd Avenues)For one who is tired of the traditional club fare that this city seems to offer, The Box place is a wonderland.

114 Kenmare Street (Cleveland Place)You won't find this reclaimed speakeasy from the street; instead, you'll have get in line for the Lower Manhattan Toy Company and then saunter back a hundred yards to the alleyway entrance and ascend the stairs. That's right, there's still at least one alley in New York! This pla...
