53 NYC An artistic expression of culinary traditions with a tangible edge, join us for an audacious journey

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, 53 is a New York restaurant conceived by the Founder Ahmass Fakahany and team behind Michelin Starred and Wine Spectator Award winners, Marea and Ai Fiori. 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.

Big Moves. Bigger impact. Dozens of curving, aluminum-edged fins cascade from street level into 53’s dining room, painted in vibrant hues inspired by the Nine-Dragon Wall reliefs of Chinese imperial palaces. Echoing the bold Asian flavors on the menu and the contemporary art just steps away, it’s a sculpture, a painting, a statement.
