New York Bar: jazz and the lights of Tokyo on the 52nd floor
At the top of the Park Hyatt
The Park Hyatt occupies the upper floors of the Shinjuku Park Tower, in the skyscraper district of Nishi-Shinjuku. Right at the top, on the 52nd floor, the New York Bar shares the space of the New York Grill: a very high ceiling, an exposed metal structure, floor-to-ceiling windows and large colourful murals inspired by New York concert halls. At dusk, the towers of Shinjuku light up one by one and the city stretches as far as the eye can see behind the glass. The venue owes a good part of its fame to the film Lost in Translation, and the menu plays on it with a cocktail called L.I.T., made with sake and sakura liqueur.
Jazz, whiskies and cocktails
Every evening, a jazz band performs on the small stage, with a first instrumental set followed by several more until around midnight. At the bar, the selection of bourbons and whiskies is particularly extensive, alongside a long wine list. The cocktails mix classics (old fashioned, manhattan, martini) and creations renewed every three months, at around ¥2,640, as well as alcohol-free versions. To nibble on: charcuterie, smoked chicken quesadillas, truffle pizza and the homemade cheesecake, not forgetting a few dishes from the New York Grill.
