Southeast Asian cocktails in the East Village

With a beach bungalow vibe borne out by green wooden shutters lacing the brick walls, and a trellised ceiling, the small bar at Masak sports an impressive array of ingredient-filled potion bottles for the next-level cocktail & punch program, the product of a Mayahuel alum. Not an afterthought, the eats -- prepped by a dude who's done time at Tasting Room and Aquavit -- include chili crab dip, crispy pork meatballs, and soy-crusted red snapper with leek sauce, meaning even if you avoid the cocktails you'll still end up a total mess.
