Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan ยท bar
A Pan-Asian cocktail bar on 9th Avenue where every drink draws from a different kitchen, the Major Tom (gin, lemongrass shochu, coconut cream, pickled fish sauce) is tom kha soup reinvented, and the 7 Long Years (green chile tequila, pineapple, fresh lime, sesame) lands between a margarita and something harder to categorize. Small plates follow the same logic: beef tartare with Thai chile sauce, chaat masala fries, beef-and-lamb dumplings. Walk-ins welcome; book ahead for peak hours.
