Masa (New York City).
Masa is an established restaurant in New York's Time Warner Center. This restaurant is not only wonderful food but also an extraordinary experience. The chef Masa Takayama cock recommends customers to dress comfortably in order to enjoy the dining experience, a long three hours. There is no fixed menu: customers choose their meal from a range of fresh dishes. The atmosphere is described as incredibly soothing ... The goal is probably to minimize shock when receiving the bill, as it stands at € 265 per person (excluding drinks, tax and tips)!

ReplyDeleteVisiting NYC? Where to Eat in New York, the Best Restaurants and More
Once a week or so, the question pops up in the New York talk boards: "I'm coming to the city for two days. Where should I eat?"
It's a question so open-ended that it's tough to answer. And most days of the year, Serious Eats New York is dedicated to the folks that live here. But our fair city has so many visitors that we figured it was high time to put out a little guide.
So here's our guide to eating in New York: whether you're traveling solo or traveling with kids, up for adventuring or not leaving Midtown. We hope there's something for everyone. And, of course, you should mix and match from categories as your heart desires.
If you're accustomed to cities where you can walk into most restaurants on a Friday night and get seated within half an hour, New York's crowds may come as a shock. Popular restaurants can easily have 1-2 hour waits at prime time, and those that take reservations (which many do not) can book up weeks in advance.
ReplyDeleteIf you're planning a trip to New York and have a few restaurants you know you want to hit, pull out your calendar ahead of time. Check OpenTable or call the restaurant to see if you can get on the books. And if the restaurant doesn't take reservations, check the opening hours and days of operation; if they open at 5pm, consider an early dinner; if you're in town on a Tuesday or Wednesday, getting that table will be an awful lot easier than on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteYou can't leave New York without eating pizza—you can't. So spend Friday night with cheese and tomato sauce, either at a sit-down coal oven spot like John's of Bleecker or a corner slice stand such as Joe's. (If the line's too long at John's and you're not wedded to the New York style, consider Neapolitan joint Keste across the street. And if you're in any of those places, stop by Grom or L'Arte del Gelato for dessert, both within a few minutes' walk.) Wake up and grab a bagel first thing: if the bagel itself is your priority, go for Murray's or Absolute Bagel; if smoked fish is your style (and it should be!), Russ & Daughters or Barney Greengrass. (At the former, you'll stand on line and chat with folks as you wait for your order to-go (no seating here); at the latter, you'll be able to sit down, and be cheerily abused by your grumpy-in-a-good-way server.) Ignore the hot dog carts on the street and stop at a Gray's Papaya or Papaya King for lunch on the go. (Yes, both excellent hot dog shops have "Papaya" in the name—but do not be fooled by any other hot dog shop with "Papaya" in the name! Pretenders, all.) Dinner should be a massive pastrami sandwich or Reuben at Katz's (kicked off with the slice of pastrami they'll hand to you as they cut yours to order). You probably won't be hungry for breakfast, though if you are, do the bagel thing; and don't leave without a massive Italian hero, like the meat-laden beauty at Faicco's Pork Store on Bleecker Street. Or a roast beef and mozz sandwich from Defonte's.
