Aqua

A massive dual-concept landed in the Flatiron District, all 24,000 square feet of it. An import with locations in London and Hong Kong, the New York outpost features both Japanese and Italian cuisines under one roof. Guests are welcome to tour Italy’s regional specialties on the Aqua Roma menu, starting with Burrata and arancini before diving into pizzas and pasta. But if you’d rather Japanese fare, the Aqua Kyoto menu includes hot entrees from the robata-grill and maki and sashimi best enjoyed at the 70-foot-long sushi bar, the longest in the city.
