Shinji’s

Named after the popular food journalist and Japan-native, Shinji Nohara (also commonly referred to as “Tokyo Fixer”), the team behind the world-renowned omakase restaurant, noda, operates this new cocktail bar in the Flatiron District. Dubbed Shinji’s, the intimate 26-seat spot sits in front of its acclaimed sibling restaurant and serves up interpretations on classics like the Tropicana (vodka, house made orange liqueur) and the Dirtiest Martini (served cheekily on a mirrored tray alongside a spiced powder, which allows guests to play with the drink’s flavor). On the food front, there are small bites such as Uni Chawanmushi (alongside caviar) and a seasonal selection of Japanese crudo plus hand rolls.
