Kawa features a 14-course menu for $88 in the smallish space with 13 counter seats and several tables "for a more private setting."
The lines have arrived while this two-story matcha cafe is still in soft-open mode.
Per Grub Street:
In addition to in-store tastings, an iced matcha latte will likely be the main attraction at 12. The tea is whisked under a spotlight and poured over milk — Battenkill for dairy, Califia Barista Blend for oat — for a drink that is grassy, creamy, and spring-pea-like in its savoriness.
Current hours: Wednesday-Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Website here. Insta here.
• Shaji BBQ, 11 E. Seventh St. just east of Cooper Square
This one came in via the EVG tipline... and we don't know much about it, including if it's related to the Shaji BBQ in Flushing. (The light said OPEN, but the place was empty, with staff included, the other night.)
Recent concepts here include Four Four South Village and Le Sia.
The space was home to Surma Books & Music for 98 years until June 2016.
• El Camino, 135 First Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street
The bar via Will Wyatt (Mister Paradise) and Edie Ugot from Electric Burrito is up and running here next door to their recently opened HighLife.
There's a small cocktail and wine list, as well as snacks. And Guinness on draft.
It opens at 4 p.m. during the week and 2 p.m. on weekends, with a midnight close. No reservations. Instagram here.
