New York Grill & Bar will close temporarily from July 24 until September 1, 2006 as its facilities undergo a design renewal. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding.
That would be what it is saying, indeed!
I managed to get into the NY Grill and Bar before its renovation, last month and had a great time up there!

Maybe if you had an afternoon flight out, going into Tokyo would be the best choice, but with a morning flight, I would disrecommend it unless it is likely to be the only time in your life you would visit Tokyo. Even then, I'd strongly recommend getting a hotel at Ueno and taking the Keisei Skyliner to minimize travel time.
Also I would recommend being at NRT at least 3 hours before flight time, to check in and explore a bit of NRT before taking off.
Sanosuke!
