Kyma

A Three-Story Greek Spot Set to Open in Soho From Known Restaurateurs | Eater NY

"A massive new three-story Greek spot in Soho, this project aims to bridge the gap between Kyma’s loud, celebratory energy and the white-tablecloth formality of places like Milos or Avra, delivering a social dining room where weekend DJs won’t drown out conversation. Set at 23 Grand Street at Thompson in the former Twenty-Three Grand space, it spans a ground floor, a second level crowned by a dramatic skylight, and a rooftop, and stylistically is meant to speak to the neighborhood’s art-haven vibe. The experience leans into contemporary Greek theatrics with interactive tableside touches—salt-baked fish carved in the room, Mediterranean spreads whipped fresh before you, flambeed desserts, and cocktails mixed from a roaming cart. The menu covers traditional favorites such as zucchini chips, tomato salad, grilled octopus, and dry-aged lamb chops; adds charcoal-grilled whole fish not sold by the pound; and branches into seafood pasta like spaghetti with crab, bottarga, brown butter, and chile, plus short rib with orzo, caviar service, wagyu carpaccio, and crudo. Earth-tone and blush, loosely Hellenic decor is crafted in Greece, from oak tables to terracotta pendant lighting and handmade pottery. With renovations underway, it’s due to open in March." - Beth Landman
