Nestled on Spring Street, WAYAN is an ode to the Balinese and French backgrounds of Cedric and Ochi Vongerichten, co-owners with Ezra William. The low-key but posh space is lit with warm Indonesian-inspired fixtures and filled with lush plants to create a tropical oasis in the middle of the city. The front room is highlighted with a bright and glowing bar while a corridor displays unique Indonesian spices as well as framing a copper-clad chef's counter and open kitchen. The back room is flanked by Balinese wood carved banquettes and delicate metal pendants. Activity from the kitchen can be seen from this room and becomes a key part of the guests’ experience.
