🍸 Wagyu Lovers and Small Plates

What You Won't Do For Love is a Japanese-inspired Greenwich Village cocktail bar at 55 Christopher Street. The creative cocktail list leads, with a drink called Wagyu Lovers among the standouts, and the kitchen answers with small plates built for sharing.

Pastrami Tartare is the signature bite, joined by sandos and a ceviche mosaic that diners single out. Tapas run 9 to 25 dollars, and the menu suggests three to five dishes for two people, enough to turn a round of drinks into dinner. Cocktails cost 21 to 22 dollars, while wine, beer and alternative alcohol options range from 8 to 18 dollars.

The bar opens at 5 PM Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday, closing at midnight, and runs until 2 AM on Friday and Saturday. Monday is closed. The room leans trendy, and kind bartenders keep the date-night energy easy.
