Hot Dining: Chinatown Gets Cool with The Union

The Union morphs cocktail lounge and South Asian eats into a sleek destination on Chinatown’s edge. Pack into communal tables for well-conceived tastes, from nasi goreng to pad Thai, and for “bangas,” which are inventive libations served in glass jars. Here too: a nod to next door’s Jimi Hendrix Shrine Museum, with lyrics to his song “Crosstown Traffic” adorning the serving hatch.—Tim Pawsey
