This stylish West Village cocktail bar pays homage to moga (Japanese women who followed Westernized fashion and lifestyles following World War I). Modeled after a Taisho era jazz bar in Japan, the inviting atmosphere exudes sultry Art Deco vibes, with plush velvet seats and dim lighting.
Offering a stylish retreat to a bygone era cocktails, there’s no shortage of exciting libations on offer. From the signature Moga (Suntory Toki Whisky, rhum, aged plum liqueur and bitters) to the tempting Sakura Martini and refreshing Yuzu Fizz.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
