New York Grill Tokyo

New York Grill sits on the fifty-second floor of the Park Hyatt Tokyo in Shinjuku City. It is a ten-minute walk from the Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the altitude is the primary reason to visit. While other Shinjuku restaurants rely on the street-level frenzy for energy, this venue trades the noise for an International and seafood-heavy menu served against a panorama of the sprawl below. Most dining rooms in this part of Tokyo are built to enclose you; this one is designed to make you feel like you are hovering above the city entirely. It is a more detached experience than the cafes surrounding the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, which is exactly the point if you want to see the skyline without being buried in it.
