The Gramercy recently unveiled its new Pan-Asian pop-up, offering guests a limited-time menu highlighting an array of Asian fusion with sushi, robata, and wok dishes by chef Joan Solis. Alongside the new offerings, the restaurant has launched a weekly Saturday dinner party, "Tokyo Nights," complete with live entertainment. Solis, known for creating innovative Asian fare at hotspots like Salvaje and the Marion Miami, presents diners with menu items like pork dumplings served in a sauce of peanut butter, garlic, sesame oil, and scallions; sushi creations, including the "Gram Sensation Roll," made with salmon, avocado, pineapple marmalade, lime zest, chives, and topped with raspberry pearls; and wok dishes including duck fried rice and sesame garlic noodles — all of which pair nicely with cocktails like the "Lychee Love Potion," made with Absolut vanilla, Chinola passionfruit liqueur, lychee purée, and pineapple juice. Open 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesday, 5 p.m. to midnight Thursday, noon to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to midnight Sunday.
