Hot Midtown East Izakaya in New York🏮🍲Lucky Cat (1)

📍 Lucky Cat 232 E 53rd St, New York, NY 10022 Hey foodies! 🍔 If you’re looking for a cozy and lively izakaya experience in Midtown East, Lucky Cat is the place to be. This spot is incredibly popular, and I’ve learned the hard way—twice I showed up without a reservation and ended up waiting 30 minutes to a full hour! 😅 But this time, I was smart and booked ahead. With over 2,000 glowing reviews on Google Maps and an impressive 4.7 rating, you know you’re in for a treat. The average spend here is around $30-$50 per person, which feels totally worth it for the quality and variety of dishes. 💰 Let’s dive into the must-tries: Shironeko Original 🌟🌟🌟 Their signature pork belly hot pot is a solid choice. The broth is flavorful, and the pork belly is tender, but I’ve had better. It’s good, just not mind-blowing. Still worth a try if you’re a hot pot fan! 🍲 #NYCJapaneseFood #NYCIzakaya #NYCDining #MustTry 🍱
