Kyo Ya

Do not be deterred by the cellar stairs leading you to underground East Village fave, Kyo Ya. Inside, everything from the polished wood walls to the intricate food screams sophisticated. You must experience their kaiseki tasting menu, inspired by the delicate dishes served at traditional Japanese tea ceremonies.
