Gaonnuri – Korean
Perched thirty-nine floors above the heart of Koreatown, this sophisticated penthouse retreat offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline through soaring floor-to-ceiling windows.

It is a place where the energy of the city meets the refined artistry of Korean tradition, creating an elevated atmosphere that transforms a classic barbecue feast into a luminous, sky-high celebration.
