Masa New York City

Masa sits on the fourth floor of The Shops at Columbus Circle. The restaurant is a ten-minute walk from the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, with the entrance to the Time Warner Center steps away.

This is a Japanese restaurant that holds a Michelin star. While the room runs smart and elegant, the experience focuses on a lack of distraction that its neighbors in the complex do not offer. You come here for the precision of the service, which sits in total contrast to the bustle of the circle directly below. If you want a place that prioritizes the craft of the meal over the energy of the street, this is the room to choose.
