The toilet is AMAZING. Top-of-the-line Japanese jobber that does everything for you but your business.
Rigatoni al Ragu is tops, especially with the great bread. Kept me smiling through my East Village years!

I want to keep this place a secret. That should tell you everything you need to know about Cagen.
Top notch high-end sushi. Competes with the best. Chef Kosauka is well known in the industry. The sushi is artwork and the setting is modern but minimalist. Service is outstanding.
Cumin lamb and 馅饼 (not sure how it's translated: pork and chicken biscuits, maybe?) were great!

The burger is off-menu, only served at the bar, and they only serve 12 a night. By the time I got there 10 minutes before opening time, every seat at the bar was taken. But it's worth it.
Not as good as the original one -- very limited options and small portions. Sitting was uncomfortable, more of a snack spot and not really a sitdown place to enjoy dimsums.
Straight from Rome, these pizza pockets are less greasy than you think and there's some pretty healthyish filling options (artichoke)
Hidden gem of a restaurant in the LES. Hangar steak was delicious and the potatoes were next level. Cheesy amazingness. Short rib was good too and guac is a great starter. Solid cocktails.
