Sakagura: Never been to Japan? It’s closer than you think. Just go to Midtown to experience the hidden treasure of Sakagura. Don’t be fooled by the upstairs’ drab, office-building exterior: The basement is where you’ll become enchanted with the delicate Japanese décor. First time? The knowledgeable and courteous staff will enlighten you on how to choose sake. It’s best to call ahead for reservations, and don’t forget to inquire about their tasting nights. Don’t plan to spend your entire Saturday night here, but it’s the perfect place for a pre-party or dinner after work. So eschew your usual dive bar and try something new—you don’t even have to risk jet-lag. |
