A Love Letter to Senya | NYC's Most Devastating Closure
📍 Senya 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️ This deserves its own shrine. The undisputed #1 restaurant in my NYC hall of fame—a status now tragically cemented by its permanent closure. Who said "dead white moons" have to be people? 😭💔 🐟 Sashimi Perfection Every cut was pristinely fresh, zero fishiness—just pure oceanic sweetness. The caviar wasn't just for show; it elevated without overpowering. 🍜 The Unreplaceable Classics 1️⃣ Sake-Miso Foie Gras: A religious experience. The marinade cut through the richness while amplifying umami depths. 2️⃣ Uni-Truffle-Bone Marrow Mazemen: Sounds like overkill? Senya made it symphonic. The bone marrow's unctuousness + uni's brine + truffle's earthiness created flavor fireworks no other NYC spot has replicated. All other mazemen now feel like pale imitations—truly understand Emperor Yongzheng's heartbreak now. ⚠️ The (Only) Grievance Comparing 2022 vs. 2024 photos: earlier portions had double marrow + truffle blizzards, while later servings got noticeably skimpy. But given its demise... rest in peace. 🍂 Last Meal: November 2023. Never imagined it'd be our final goodbye. "The routines we take for granted always come to an abrupt end, don’t they?" Cue the angsty YA novel montage. #NYC #NYCRestaurants #RIPSenya #FoodieHeartbreak #MazemenDreams #FoieGrasObsessed #GoneTooSoon
