What happens when a fine dining establishment tries their hand at “street food”? You get the Norikoh + Upstairs night market experience. We’re turning all 6,000 square feet of Norikoh, Chelsea into a night-market featuring:
Traditional Taiwanese/Japanese menu (pork belly buns, taro donuts, yakitori stand and many more classics) with NY-fine dining execution
East asian beer selection (Sapporo, Asahi, Kirin, others) and fun, NY-cocktails with an east asian spin (Lychee Martini! :D) all at happy hour pricing
3 areas (outdoor and indoor), featuring music / media, large full bar
Super photogenic backdrop (it’s Lantern city) as backdrop to the festive atmosphere
Upstairs is making a limited supply of tickets available which get a free beer, $6 off a menu item and happy hour pricing until 10p, it’s pretty good :) First come, first served.
Happy Hour Pricing until 10pm (Beer, wine and cocktails)
Will tickets also be sold at the door? Yes, while supplies last.
Is the event open to the public: Yes!
Can I go without a ticket: Yes, but we recommend you get tickets for 3 reasons
(1) We will limit entry once near capacity, online ticket holders are guaranteed admittance
(2) Ticket holders get discounts and beer (well exceeds value of the ticket price)
(3) Helps us with demand planning and making the experience even better for everyone (remember how you love knowing how many people are showing up to the houseparty? boom.)
How does check-in work? We’ll scan in your QR code at Norikoh, and give you a wristband with beer and food vouchers. This wristband will also guarantee you happy hour pricing.
Can I come late: You can come anytime before we decide to close because we’re too tired. We’re guaranteed to be open until 11p.
What happens after 11p? We’ll probably dim the lights, pump up the music and let the good times roll. We have the entire the space, why not use it? :)
What if I cannot make it? Please refer to the refund policy below.
What if I lose my wristband? Due to the amount of activity we will not be able to provide replacements. Please make your wristband visible and on your wrist.
