Two floors on Hudson Street. Upstairs is casual, downstairs is calmer. Masahiro Urushido makes highballs with so much technical care it is easy to miss, because the room feels so relaxed.

Order the highball first. Judge everything after that.

What to know

Upstairs is standing room most nights. Downstairs is quieter.
