Tokyo Record Bar
Tokyo Record Bar is an underground izakaya with a music snob twist. Diners can wine and dine under a canopy of flowers while choosing a custom vinyl playlist. It's modeled after Japan's famous record bars, but it feels distinctly "New York." The tiny restaurant has only two seatings per night, and for $50 you can enjoy a 7-course prix fixe of caviar sushi, hamachi sashimi, braised pork belly, and more.
