Property: Miru NYC, a Japanese rooftop listening room in Chelsea
Address: 📍25 11th Ave New York, NY 10011
Amenities: Japanese cuisine, sushi and small plates, craft cocktails, rooftop dining, indoor and outdoor seating 🍣
Founded by City Winery hospitality guru Michael Dorf, Miru NYC (which means “to look” in Japanese) sits atop Pier 57 and combines Japanese flavors, live vinyl DJ sounds, and an elevated setting in one sensory environment. The restaurant balances dining and listening, creating a refined space suited for shared plates, refreshing cocktails, and breathtaking views of the Hudson and Manhattan skyline.
🌟 Key Features:
✨ A Vibrant Rooftop Setting
Miru NYC blends panoramic views with a sensory-focused interior, described by the restaurant as a Japanese listening lounge. Glass-enclosed structures maximize natural light and city vistas during the day, while plush seating and mood lighting create an intimate atmosphere at night. The design emphasizes clarity, sound, and function, making dining and lingering over a cocktail both inviting options.
✨ Sound as a Design Element
A high-fidelity audio system runs throughout the interior, seamlessly fusing curated soundscapes into the overall ambiance. The intentional music programming not only helps shape the rhythm of the room, but it also plays an active role in the overall experience rather than serving as background noise.
✨ Japanese Inspired Menu and Cocktails
Executive Chef Rick Horiike leads the kitchen here with an emphasis on exceptional ingredients. The menu blends traditional Japanese techniques with modern influences, and features savory sushi & sashimi dishes, including: fluke, smoked kanpachi, and pressed battera rolls. Hand rolls include blue crab, toro tuna, and scallop, while small plates highlight cauliflower tempura, takoyaki, and onsen tamago. Yakitori-style skewers and other shareable dishes make the menu well-suited for communal dining. Moreover, a robust cocktail program that incorporates sake & Japanese whisky complements the food & inviting rooftop setting.
