Japanese restaurant Momoya,
by owner KwangHo Lee,
opened a brand new location
in SoHo Wednesday, March 30.
With Momoya from the original
locations of the Upper West
Side and Chelsea, this new location
in SoHo offers a 12-seat pinewood
sushi and cocktail bar on
the first floor and velvet-covered
banquettes on the second floor,
along with a window view of New
York’s most historic churches.
The menu will include an array
of traditional Japanese cuisine,
as Chef Tetsuya Okuda
creates special meals out of the
kitchen. There will also be a sushi
omakase menu exclusively at
the sushi bar.
One can have the Chef’s Kaiseki
Tasting Menu ($150), which
incorporates seasonal hassun for
appetizers; sashimi; owanmono
soup; takimono; Agemono, fried
dish; Okuchi Naoshi; Sushi; and
Mizugashi for dessert!
Japanese culture is prevalent
throughout New York City, and
Momoya SoHo allows guests to
dine and eat in a contemporary,
stylish and artistic setting. The
two-level restaurant is surrounded
by windows, offering an unencumbered
view of the bustle of the
corner where Momoya sits. Inside
is a serene scene of Japanese fare
that showcases picture perfect nigiri
and sublime foods highlighting
the beauty of the vast array
of dishes that make this cuisine
so special.

St. To make a reservation, visit

With two successful locations
in Brooklyn and
Queens, White Noise
Coffee Co. is celebrating the opening
of its first Manhattan location
in Hell’s Kitchen.
White Noise Coffee Co. now
has a third location at 829 Eleventh
Ave. As a welcoming space
providing a soothing atmosphere,
it is only fitting that White Noise
Coffee opens a shop in the heart of
the loud and fast-paced city.
Led by owner, barista and entrepreneur
Vanesa Kim, White
Noise Coffee Co. offers impeccable
craft coffee and a growing
menu of breakfast and lunch
options highlighting homemade
and organic offerings, with
light Asian influences. From the
sounds of cups clinking, steam
wands blasting, espresso beans
grinding and every little conversation
in the store, the environment
of the shop is as the
name suggests.
Upon entering, guests are welcomed
into a soothing, zen and
mindful space that appeals to the
senses in every form. A perfect
oasis in the bustle of the city. The
white noise of a coffee shop is at
the center of the founder, Vanessa
Kim’s vision for her business.
Kim always dreamed of owning
her own cafe after falling in love
with the art of coffee making. In
2018, Kim convinced her parents
to transform their Korean bodega
in Flushing, Queens into a coffee
shop. Thus, making this the first
location of White Noise Coffee.
Inspired by her father’s values
and Korean upbringing, Kim operated
White Noise with perfection
and quality. Staff and baristas
are carefully trained to provide
top-notch service to every order
and customer. Additionally, White
Noise roasts their own beans to
ensure maximum flavor, freshness
and quality.
White Noise’s second location
in Downtown Brooklyn also upholds
such outstanding values to
ensure the best coffee and other
menu items for their guests.
