Yaxche
(pronounced jag-shey) On 5th Ave., 984 873 3712.
Decorated to resemble a Maya temple, atmospheric Yaxche serves a menu featuring traditional Maya dishes such as tamales cooked in banana leaves or corn husks, and nohuc lemon-seasoned prawns served on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes and accompanied by grilled vegetables. The house specialty drinks--chayanada (a deep-green spinach lemonade) and cuzamil (a fresh orange-pineapple-chaya blend)--make a good accompaniment, and the flaming magic Maya Coffee (made with liquors, cinnamon, and vanilla ice cream, and prepared dramatically tableside) makes a spectacular conclusion. If you have room for dessert, try the Sweet Virgin (frozen cookies swimming in lemon cream).
