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

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

Mari

korean · ★ Michelin

$$$$

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

Sushi Sho

Japanese, Sushi · ★★★ Michelin

$$$$

In the shadow of the New York Public Library, Chef Keiji Nakazawa exemplifies mastery of the highest order. His omakase is utterly unique. The progression ebbs and flows with a dazzling variety of fish, shellfish, vegetables and more; applying an extensive use of fermentation techniques first developed in Japan. Reverent, while also honoring flexibility and evolution, the chef and team are constantly honing their craft.The setting is its own marvel and features a Hinoki counter flanked by towering ice boxes fronted with carved wood doors, while all around, the kitchen and service teams work 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

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

At the base of the Grace building on the edge of Bryant Park, this cavernous restaurant is dressed in luxury from top to bottom. A large bar welcomes a boisterous after-work crowd, while the spacious dining room is a work of cream-colored banquettes, fine art and sparkling cutlery. Alsatian-born Chef Gabriel Kreuther cooks with a global sensibility rooted in excellent French technique. Warm kugelhopf with chive fromage blanc as well as the smoked sturgeon and sauerkraut tart are indulgent, gratifying classics, while bass with wax bean ragout and mussels celebrates the seasons. An old-school ch

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.
