NYC|My Go-To East Village Tapas Spot 🍤
The menu is cleanly divided into Garden, Land, Sea—simple, creative, and consistently delicious. 🍅 Tomato – Salted tomato jelly with marinated cherry tomatoes—bright, tangy, and refreshing. A Nai signature. 🧀️ Mushroom Carpaccio – Thinly sliced mushrooms with bold Parmesan flavor—looks like meat, tastes like umami magic. 🐙 Pulpo a la Gallega – Tender octopus with a hint of cumin, especially the suction cups—chewy and satisfying. 🐟 Chilean Sea Bass – Crispy outside, juicy inside—a simple yet flawless dish. 🍝 Pasta Paella – Shrimp, fish roe, mayo, nori, and short pasta—rich, savory, and totally addictive. 🥩 Beef Tartare – Generous portion of seasoned beef, though the toast points could be more plentiful. 🥪 45-Day Aged Prime Ribeye Katsu – Juicy steak sandwiched in buttery bread—disappears within seconds. 🍮 Desserts like caramel custard, hazelnut chocolate mousse, and berry tiramisu are delightful—though portions are huge, so come with a sweet tooth! The menu rarely changes, and each dish feels like a classic. Creative yet deeply satisfying. 💃 Plus: Live flamenco shows every Saturday 7–9 PM—dining with a side of passion and rhythm! A neighborhood gem that never disappoints. 📍 Nai 84 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003 #NYC #Tapas #SpanishFood #EastVillage #NYCEats #SeafoodPasta #FlamencoNights #NYCRestaurants #FoodieFav #MustTry
