Nai New York

Nai was a modern Spanish tapas restaurant located in the East Village of New York City. It aimed to share the flavors of Spain through a warm and inviting atmosphere, becoming a cherished spot for both locals and visitors.

Founded by Chef Ruben Rodriguez, Nai drew inspiration from his Galician roots, emphasizing a farm-to-table approach with seasonal ingredients. The restaurant fostered a sense of community, celebrating milestones and gatherings.

After 15 years of operation, Nai announced its closure, with its last day on November 8th. The spirit of the restaurant, much like a mother’s love, will continue to resonate in the memories it created.
