The Black Book

Hidden in plain sight behind its discreet Chinatown storefront, Kiki’s blends traditional Greek cooking with the effortless cool of the Lower East Side. The menu leans classic—think grilled octopus, lemony potatoes, and heaping platters of lamb chops—served in a warm, no-frills dining room filled with locals, artists, and in-the-know visitors.

It’s unfussy, always buzzing, and exactly where you want to be on a night out downtown.
