Kissa Kissa

Staff spin from the evening's hand-selected stack of jazz LPs, with song details posted on a vintage typewriter-style signboard above the bar. The candlelit space draws on traditional Japanese kissas, and the menu runs to sake flights and small plates. Guests can browse a Record Adoption Center specializing in Japanese pressings, or read a pamphlet on the history of jazz kissas and their connection to New York City. Reviews describe a cozy, low-key ambiance with friendly service and strong drinks.
