The City’s Only South African Restaurant and Bar, Kaia | The New Yorker

"Kaia Wine Bar, Suzaan Hauptfleisch’s Upper East Side institution, serves South African wine alongside elk, bobotie, Gatsby sandwiches, and bunny chow. Hauptfleisch's Kaia has become a neighborhood gem, offering a seasonal menu inspired by South African flavors and providing a unique dining experience with dishes like the elegantly minimal elk, the flavorful bobotie, and the comforting Gatsby and bunny chow, despite the unavailability of some traditional ingredients. The Kaia Taco Shop adds a fusion twist to the menu, integrating Mexican heritage with a South African touch." - David Kortava
