New York Food Recommendation: Lucky Cat 🐱

Personal Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Queue Situation: No wait on a Friday night! 🌟 Address: 232 E 53rd St, NY This authentic Japanese izakaya in Midtown has a great atmosphere, filled with the warmth of a bustling dining scene, and it’s frequented by many Japanese diners. 🌆 Here are the must-tries that won’t disappoint: ✅ Meat Mountain Hot Pot (Spicy and Tripe Options) The spiciness perfectly balances any greasiness from the meat. The pot is packed with a generous amount of ingredients, and adding instant noodles doubles the fun! It might be a bit challenging for two people to finish, but taking leftovers home is always an option. 🍲 ✅ Yakitori Selection We chose chicken gizzards and other parts. While it may not be on the same level as Michelin-starred yakitori, it definitely outshines Yakitori Totto. The grilling and seasoning are spot-on, and the prices are reasonable. Enjoying skewers in an izakaya setting is just delightful! 🍖 Overall, this place is perfect for a relaxed meal with friends! I can’t vouch for every dish, but at least these two are guaranteed winners. #NewYork #NewYorkFood #NewYorkExploration #ManhattanEats 🌟
