On the clay pot; BLACK COD with jalapeno miso, ginger, cilantro whilst on the grill; DRY-AGED RIBEYE with green papaya and chimichurri.

With MoMA (the Museum of Modern Art) located above in the building, the restaurant inevitably channels the same creative atmosphere. In partnership with Petzel Gallery, find works inside the restaurant by Jorge Pardo, Robert Heinecken and Ross Bleckner — enhancing the entire space. As a hybrid restaurant-gallery, 53 comes from the vision of Ahmass Fakahany of Altamarea Group, who himself spend a decade living in Asian — passionate about bringing the same, authentic flavours he experienced to New York.
