Rare opportunity to sublease a fully built-out, turnkey restaurant located inside the iconic Empire State Building.
Completed approximately one year ago, the space features an exceptional modern build-out with a striking chef's counter, custom millwork, premium finishes, and dramatic ceiling heights ranging from 10' to exposed ceilings reaching ~15'.
Positioned immediately adjacent to one of the Empire State Building's primary entrances and directly connected to the building lobby, the restaurant benefits from dedicated frontage along West 33rd Street and continuous foot traffic generated by office tenants, visitors, and tourists alike.
The approximately 1,367-square-foot space is designed to seat 30 guests (10 counter and 20 table seats) and offers an incoming operator the opportunity to avoid the significant time, expense, and permitting required to replicate a comparable restaurant in Midtown. This is an exceptional turnkey opportunity for a sushi concept or another operator seeking a flagship location in one of the world's most recognizable buildings.
