Shinji’s

In the heart of New York City's Flatiron district, a vibrant cocktail haven awaits, where artistry meets innovation in every sip. This intimate 18-seat bar, a brainchild of the culinary masterminds behind the Michelin-starred Noda, offers more than just drinks—it's an experience. Named after Shinji Nohara, the legendary Tokyo dining connoisseur, the establishment pushes the boundaries of cocktail craft with a maximalist approach. Beverage director Jonathan Adler wows with futuristic techniques like vacuum maceration and creative concoctions such as the "Moon Rocks," ensuring each drink is as much a spectacle as it is delicious. From the Tropicana, served in a frozen orange after 18 months of perfection, to the world's fastest Ramos Gin Fizz, efficiency meets elegance here.

Inside, designer Ken Fulk has conjured a romantic escape with rich velvet drapes and patchworked armchairs, all under the glow of sky-blue Fortuny Concubine silk lamps. This lush setting is the perfect backdrop for indulging in the largest selection of Japanese whisky in NYC, including elusive treasures from Mars' Bakemono series. To accompany these liquid masterpieces, the menu offers seasonal fish flown straight from Japan, exquisite Japanese crudo, and a decadent Wagyu sando, ensuring a culinary journey that complements the cocktail adventure.
