Located in the landmarked building that once housed the AT&T headquarters, Nobu Downtown is an expansive bi-level restaurant that spans the ground and sub-level floors. A wooden ash brushstroke sculpture is the sweeping centerpiece of the upstairs space that features a bar and more casual lounge area akin to the former Nobu Next Door.
