Mas, restaurant in New York, United States
Mas is a restaurant in Manhattan with a dining space designed by David Netto and Kate Kaiser that blends modern and rustic elements. The room features slate gray walls, deep blue banquettes with pillows, exposed wooden beams and stone, while large windows and sheer curtains create an open feel.
The restaurant opened in 2004 in Greenwich Village under chef and owner Galen Zamarra, known for French-influenced American cuisine focused on local, seasonal ingredients. After a fire in 2016, it reopened in 2017 with updates and repairs, continuing to serve the same philosophy of farm-to-table cooking.
The name Mas refers to a rural farmhouse in French, reflecting the restaurant's philosophy of honest, grounded cooking rather than showiness. Visitors notice how the interior with its rustic elements and soft textures expresses this connection to simple, direct food culture.
The restaurant is open six nights a week for dinner and stays open until 4 am, making it a good spot for late-night drinks. Reservations are recommended, especially during busy hours, as the space is relatively small and fills up quickly.
The restaurant opened in a space previously used by another restaurant called Isla, and the designers preserved some of the original rustic features while adding a completely new modern design. This blend of retained historical elements and contemporary design makes the space particularly interesting for those who notice details.
