Kyma

For a taste of Mykonos (scene included) sans the twelve plus hours of travel time, Kyma is your place. The Greek taverna that's brought a buzz well worth the hype to Flatiron is a perfect blend of tradition and style, with the utmost focus on quality (their fresh fish is flown in daily from the Mediterranean, so, that's real). Its Restaurant Week lunch menu is longer than most, and especially impressive, boasting everything from octopus and pan-seared banzino to a very Greek lamb burger.
