Katana Kitten

West Village · Japanese-American cocktail bar · $$$

The most fun serious bar in the city. Masahiro Urushido's Japanese-American bar is a packed, two-floor izakaya with dollar bills on the rafters and a soundtrack that swings from blues to dorm-room bangers — but the cocktails are world-class. The Hinoki martini is one of the most unique drinks in town. Don't leave without the mortadella katsu sando.

Masahiro Urushido's Japanese dive-bar — world-best cocktails, signed dollar bills, and a katsu sando.
