"Yara is a two-story, 200-seat restaurant and cocktail lounge serving vegan and Lebanese fare. Located at 319 East 53rd St., it offers a menu that ranges from salads like tabouli to shareable plates like grilled chicken breast skewers and lamb with sautéed okra, rice, and tomatoes. A significant portion of the menu is vegan to accommodate large groups with varying dietary preferences. Prices range from $10 for hummus and other small plates to $35 for grilled fish, and the drinks menu features wine and cocktails, including the 'Candella,' a Manhattan-inspired drink. The venue includes features like three fireplaces, a private dining area, a lounge, and a coffee bar, aiming to attract a fashion-forward crowd with events like swimsuit brand launches and Fashion Week parties." - Carla Vianna
