Odo
Japanese, Contemporary · ★★ Michelin
$$$$
A serene atmosphere awaits in-the-know diners at this secluded counter, closed off from the cocktail bar in front to foster a mood of intimacy. The service, like the ambience, is warm but unobtrusive, allowing focus to fall on the singular kaiseki menu on offer. Under the assured hand of namesake Chef Hiroki Odo, the cuisine skillfully blends tradition and creative personal touches for a meal that is anything but stuffy. Flavors are both vibrant and precise, with a depth and purity that attests to superbly sourced ingredients and careful preparation. From a refined but subtle soup with seared

Eleven Madison Park

Chef Daniel Humm presides over this temple of modern elegance with a zealous dedication to masterful precision. Nothing is out of place and everything is custom made, from the staff’s suits to the handblown water vases. The menu’s plant-based creations are a bold vision of luxury dining and elevates the concept to unparalleled heights. The freshly baked, delicately crisped vegan roll presented with faux butter is a magical creation. A quenelle of tonburi, mimicking caviar, plated with horseradish cream and accompanied by a radish tostada with a swipe of pumpkin seed butter is simply stunning.

Korean, Contemporary · ★ Michelin

This modern counter tucked behind sister restaurant Oiji Mi showcases contemporary Korean fare with a focus on wagyu beef. The space itself is a stunner with soaring ceilings, sharply dressed servers, and a spacious marble counter that has built-in barbecue grills. These grills quietly work throughout the evening, searing off premium cuts such as tenderloin, short rib, and ribeye that are kept in a dry-aging chamber in full view of the dining room. But know that there is more at play here than just beef. The likes of uni, caviar, truffles, and crab make appearances, and the kitchen has no qual

Noda features an eight-seat, half-moon-shaped counter set behind its cocktail lounge, Shinji. The space has a distinct speakeasy feel, with a dark, intimate dining room and an emphasis on both sushi and beverage. The omakase begins with a series of composed opening dishes before moving into nigiri. Chef Shigeyuki Tsunoda works with a calm, measured approach, preparing each piece with precise knifework and careful attention to rice. The fish is pristine and handled with consistency throughout.

Cote
Korean, Steakhouse · ★ Michelin

Korean-born Simon Kim opened Cote as a joyful celebration of his home country’s love for beef allied with his admiration for the great American steakhouse. Just head downstairs and admire the meats hanging in the aging room. The space also breaks the norm in its mien—dark, moody and atmospheric. There’s a comprehensive wine list too, which, if you look close enough, offers nuggets of value. (Downstairs is their ersatz speakeasy, Undercote.)First-timers should go for the “Butcher’s Feast” featuring different cuts of beef, an egg soufflé, and enough banchan to cover your table.

Gramercy Tavern

This fabled NY icon is high on most people's roll call. It's one of those places that manages the rare trick of being so confident in its abilities and can be all things to all diners. You’ll probably leave happy whether you’re here on a date, to impress the in-laws or seal a deal. The “Tavern” side is a prized spot for lunch, especially if you can sit at the bar. The “Dining Room” though is for those who like a little more pomp with their pappardelle and truly comes to life at night. Service is attentive throughout. Focused on impeccable products, the classic American cuisine with a broad app
