53 is an artistic expression of culinary traditions with a tangible edge; join us for an audacious journey of Asian flavors in a beautifully modern, three-story space in the heart of New York City.
53 introduces an elevated blend of Asian cuisine with a contemporary edge in a chic lifestyle setting, featuring an exquisite marriage of Asian flavors and unique dishes.
The menu is spearheaded by acclaimed Singapore-born Chef Akmal Anuar, who began his culinary journey in his parents’ hawker stand in Singapore, led one of Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants (Asia’s No. 1) and created some of the top contemporary Asian restaurants in Dubai.
Designed by ICRAVE in the heart of Midtown at 53 W 53rd St., the three-story space features a beautiful modern dining room, bustling by day and glowing by night, as well as an intimate private dining experience– all underneath MoMA’s new extended wing. In the spirit of this iconic location, the globally renowned Friedrich Petzel Gallery is collaborating in a curatorial partnership to showcase an exciting rotating installation art program throughout the restaurant.
