Design Concept:

Situated in a posh subterranean setting beneath the iconic Dream Downtown, the
infinity mirrored staircase descends into the main bar and lounge woven with
cherry wood reminiscent of a slightly futuristic shoji screen. The Kimono Room is
a culinary suite with a tapestry of antique kimonos layered with a smoky allure,
providing diners a front row seat at the sushi bar with additional lounge seating
that converts into an optional private dining room. The expansive main dining
room, a voluminous space with walls clad in a contemporary scrolling and

textured panels above, is activated with a dynamic array of 3-D visuals that map
every surface in the room allowing the space to transform.
Beverage:

Megu New York also features an innovative bar program by James Beard
Recognized Mixologist, Charlotte Voisey.

Frances Tariga-Weshnak
