New York tips you can trust
Top 5
New York
restaurants
Per Se
Thomas Keller created New York's most expensive French food temple (averages about $300 per diner). However, Per Se does deliver exceptional food and service for your investment.
Daniel
Elegant indoor courtyard setting and exceptional prix-fixe fare, which often includes chef Daniel's magnificent sea bass or braised short ribs.
Masa
Its Omakase dinner (runs over $600 per person with drinks and tips). Masa has just 26 seats. Chef Masa Takayama prepares superb sushi, which can also be ordered in the Bar Masa next door.
Eleven Madison Park
Daniel Humm prepares what's currently best in the marketplace. Towering windows and ceilings lend an airy ambiance. Art Deco furnishings are smartly elegant. Tables are spacious. Service is superb.
Jean Georges
Celebrity-chef Jean Georges Vongerichten has spawned many restaurants, some non-French, here and abroad. They are all interesting, but the one near Columbus Circle is his glory.
