If you are a true lover of good food and you’re planning a visit to NYC (or you actually live in this great city) then you may want to think about visiting one of the following five extremely fancy restaurants.
Daniel is a neo-renaissance styled French restaurant featuring a menu from well known chef Daniel Boulud. Obviously the food is the best reason to go to this fantastic restaurant but it’s stylish decor is also quite beautiful. There is a soaring ceiling with elegant Corinthian columns. The restaurant rant is located on East 60th street near Central Park. Make online hotel reservations around Central Park.
Jean-Georges is a signature restaurant featuring a menu by Jean-Georges Vongerichten. When you consider that the “tasting menu” is close to $100 not including wine this is probably a restaurant you would only want to visit on a very special occasion such as an anniversary. It is located in the Trump International Hotel & Tower.
Masa is an extremely sushi restaurant that has no menu and only has seating for 26 people. The price per person is well over $300 and every guest has chef Masayoshi Takayama’s “omakase” which means “chef’s choice.”
Sugiyama is a “kaiseki” style Japanese restaurant. This means that the meal is a series of dishes which begins with the delicate (and raw) items on the menu to the more heavier (cooked) dishes. Rich businessmen on trips from Japan make up many of the customers here.
Alain Ducasse is named after chef Alain Ducasse who is among the most famous chefs in the whole world. For about $200 you will have a delicious seven course meal at this fancy French restaurant. Jackets are required for men so don’t show up wearing sweatpants and a tshirt.
If you would rather not shell out hundreds of dollars for one meal but you still want to taste some great food then I recommend checking out the Taj Mahal indian restaurant in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. You will get a true NYC experience by leaving Manhattan and you will get delicious indian food for a very reasonable price.
Brooklyn actually has a lot worth checking out and in some ways it is more interesting than Manhattan. If you are interested in doing something other than the usual stuff on your next visit to New York City, then perhaps you should find a hotel deal in Brooklyn. The obvious part of Brooklyn to check out is Williamsburg which is just about the “hippest” place to be in New York City circa 2010.
