Are there any Japanese restaurants in NYC or the boroughs that has traditional floor-seating?
I love Hangawi on East 32nd between Fifth and Madison – you can sit on the floor. It’s not Japanese, it’s Korean, and they don’t serve meat dishes. I’m not a vegetarian, but I love the food here. http://www.hangawirestaurant.com/ Naka Naka in Chelsea on 17th Street between Ninth and Tenth has seating on floor mats There is a nice Japanese restaurant in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn on 86th Street near Nineteenth Avenue where all the shoes are lined up in front of a hearth and in addition to traditional booths, there is floor seating on big cushions with holes in the floor for your legs.
