Amaya Espinal<\/strong> got a hero’s welcome in the Big Apple after her winning run on “Love Island USA” … including shaking it with a few of the New York Knicks’ finest.<\/p>\n

The ‘LI USA’ season 7 winner pulled up to Sei Less — a fine-dining Asian Fusion restaurant in Midtown Manhattan — Friday night after months in the villa … and, she and some friends decided to go all out at the celeb hot spot.<\/p>\n

Our sources say Sei Less is one of Amaya’s fav restaurants, a place she frequented before achieving fame on ‘Love Island’ … but, yesterday was a change for Espinal, who got a private dining room and was mobbed by fans while walking through the joint.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Always polite, Amaya stopped to take photos and sign autographs for everyone who wanted one … including the restaurant’s cofounder, Ivi Shano <\/strong>— who has been a pal of Amaya’s even before she left for the villa.<\/p>\n

While in her private area, a few dancers for the New York Knicks stopped by to move and groove with her for a minute … and Espinal showed a little skill on the impromptu dancefloor — so maybe a more formal invitation to Madison Square Garden could be in her future.<\/p>\n

The restaurant had a few special surprises for her — including rolling out the “Amaya Papaya” menu … named specifically for her.<\/p>\n

We’re told Amaya and her friends arrived at 10 PM and dined on rock shrimp, chicken satay, spicy tuna crispy rice … and they downed a few Lemon Drop Martinis, too.<\/p>\n

Our sources say Amaya’s been raving to a ton of her ‘Love Island’ costars about the place BTW … so, there could be more famous faces coming soon.<\/p>\n

Amaya’s life has changed a lot since she won the most recent season with her partner Bryan Arenalas<\/strong> … so, she’d better get used to the star treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Love Island USA’ Knicks Dancers Pull Amaya Espinal For a Chat … And A Few Moves!!!
