Even before the COVID-19 pandemic changed the world, the idea of igloo dining in New York was pretty nice. Our winters are famously brutal, and the typical idea of al fresco dining isn’t possible when there’s snow and wind outside. Throw in a heated igloo and it suddenly sounds like a great idea. Social distancing has required people to get creative when it comes to ways to safely gather with friends and family. This has caused a marked increase in opportunities for igloo dining in New York. One spot that offers great food in an igloo is Kainos Restaurant in Rochester.

The first thing you’ll notice about Kainos is the incredible waterfront views. The restaurant is right on the Genesee River and the views are so magical that it almost feels like waterfront dining in Greece.

Eating in an igloo is such a unique experience! You’ll be sequestered from the rest of the restaurant with your party, so it’s a great option for a romantic date night or evening out with friends.

The food you’ll chow down on is incredible and can’t be beat. It’s one of the best options for Greek food in New York.

There are a variety of options, ranging from wraps to rice bowls, and there are plenty of choices for vegetarians.

The menu here is classy, but not overwhelmingly so. It’s fine dining with a casual touch.
