NYC Restaurants

For Asian cuisine inspired by Japan, by way of London, there is Wagamama in Flatiron.  The restaurant is huge, spanning the width of an entire block, with an open kitchen, vaulted ceiling, wooden beams and exposed brick. A full bar stretches across part of the restaurant and there is ample seating whether you are dining alone or with a large group. The menu features everything from ramen and donburi to steamed buns, dumplings and curry dishes. Drinks include Asian inspired cocktails and spirits as well as wine and beer. Fresh juices are also available.
