Per Se

american, french · ★★★ Michelin

$$$$

An experience at Thomas Keller’s Per Se is one to be savored, recounted and remembered. In a city where space itself is a luxury, the dining room is impressively scaled, offering both stellar views of Central Park as well as precious privacy from table to table. As for the cooking, the French kitchen closely aligns itself with the seasons, sourcing best-in-class product and preparing them with razor-sharp refinement. Signatures like “Oysters and Pearls” or the grand dessert finale are reliable, thrilling bookends. What happens in between is a mature study in confidence and class. An effortless

Jean-Georges

french · ★★ Michelin

$$$$

Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s culinary empire stretches far and wide, but Central Park will always be his home. Chef de Cuisine Joseph Rhee and team sustain a legacy defined by a mastery of French techniques with a flair for global flavors. Guests select from ever-evolving seasonal menus, or delve into a bit of nostalgia with a menu devoted to classics from the restaurant's early days. Dishes like spiced duck breast paired with lovage and an emulsion of mezcal and mustard showcase boldness and originality. Those opting for the vegetarian menu will enjoy top produce, like morel mushrooms in

Masa

sushi · ★★ Michelin

$$$$

There is nothing like an omakase in the care of Chef Masa Takayama. The commotion of Columbus Circle gives way to the calm, collected ceremony of a room anchored by a strikingly smooth hinoki counter. Everything is in place, as chefs and servers work with a kind of harmony that recalls ballet. Every decision, every move, is in the service of his distinctive style, which many have copied but none have mastered. Fragrant white and black truffles, pearly beads of Osetra caviar, and vibrant garnishes make for brilliant touches that straddle the line between luxury and excess. Few have both the ima

Le Bernardin

french, seafood · ★★★ Michelin

$$$$

Well-heeled patrons continue to hold court in this iconic Midtown restaurant led by the ever-gracious Chef Eric Ripert. Truly, this is the moment to dress up, as diamond necklaces and finely pressed suits fill the kinetic dining room night after night. Seafood has long been the calling card of a kitchen that offers a sizeable à la carte menu and doesn’t force guests into lengthy tasting experiences. Salmon with horseradish emulsion alongside the signature yellowfin tuna pounded thin and laid over toasted baguette smeared with foie gras speaks to a quietly sophisticated, confident style ground

YingTao

Contemporary, Chinese · ★ Michelin

$$$$

This stylish Hell's Kitchen hideaway is an unassumingly ambitious project that highlights Chinese cuisine with flair and class. Under the leadership of Chef Emily Yuen, the focused tasting menu features simultaneously inventive and familiar dishes using top-quality meat and seafood. Wontons with Berkshire pork and tiger prawns float in a soulful broth, while black cod arrives on a disc of silky tofu dressed with a rich, numbing, mala sauce. Riffs on chicken wings and fried chicken showcase a more playful side. To finish, a coconut-forward nian gao (sweet rice cake) is a delightful play on text

Aquavit

Aquavit remains one of the city’s most polished expressions of contemporary Scandinavian cooking, set within a sleek dining room anchored by a striking open kitchen under Chef Emma Bengtsson. The tasting menus lean heavily into Nordic sensibilities, balancing pristine seafood, preserved elements, cultured dairy and bright seasonal produce with elegant restraint. Dishes may include beautifully cooked Norwegian langoustine with Meyer lemon sabayon and crisp shellfish tuile, or halibut paired with salt-baked celeriac and smoked whey beurre blanc. Desserts continue the restaurant’s refined style,

$$$$

Push past the heavy iron doors to this modern restaurant tucked at the base of a classic townhouse. Supple leather, brass touches and various shades of beige comprise the contemporary, elegant space, where a buzzy bar and a welcoming dining room await. Chef Christophe Bellanca's dishes echo a simple elegance, evidenced by plump white asparagus on a fragrant bergamot-flavored crème with a refreshing herb vinaigrette and paper-thin slices of watermelon radish. French technique is married with Asian flavors in a dish of three blue prawns with genmaicha tuille, and braised black sea bass with shii

Mari

Mari, which means “roll” in Korean, is Hell’s Kitchen’s latest destination from the talented Sungchul Shim, who made a name for himself at his tasting counter (Kochi) just down the street. Those familiar with casual Japanese handroll counters are in for a surprise as Chef Shim reimagines the genre as a tasting menu, primed with top-notch ingredients and Korean flavors.Glistening planks of Scottish salmon; tender strips of cured mackerel; and three types of mushrooms are placed on beds of rice cradled in seaweed. Chefs work swiftly, moving from one roll to the next with nowhere to hide in this
