The story
53 serves contemporary Asian cooking at 53 W. 53rd St. in New York City, and the Michelin Guide listed it as Recommended in 2026. The wine program also earned a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2023.
The restaurant occupies a three-story space in the heart of the city, with several MoMA galleries directly above. The globally renowned Friedrich Petzel Gallery curates the rotating installations throughout the dining rooms, so the walls change over time. Art and design shape the room as much as the menu does.
Sunday brunch is a three-course dim sum prix fixe for $78, served from noon to 3:00 PM, with chef-driven bites and sweets meant for sharing. Downstairs, BA53MENT hosts a music series and game-day viewing, along with 53 Hour pricing on select bites.
