"Creativity" thrives at David Chang's East Village "blast", where "avant-garde", Asian-accented American plates are served in a tasting format at a 12-seat chef's counter; sure, the online-only rezzies are "tough" to get and the $125 set price is not for every budget, but the payoff is "truly memorable" dining.
