Thomas Keller is America’s only chef with two operating three-starred Michelin restaurants, and Per Se is the acclaimed East Coast answer to California’s The French Laundry, a foodie Mecca often called the country’s best restaurant. This cosmopolitan redoubt in the Time Warner Center is perhaps the most sought-after reservation in town. Opt for the $295 tasting menu, bite into the “PB & J” (Terrine of Duck Foie Gras, Grape Glaze, Huckleberries, Peanut Brittle, Milk Tuile) and know why.

The towering tabs (starting at $500) at Masayoshi Takayama’s 26-seat sushi shrine on the fourth floor of the Time Warner Center get as much press as the sushi. But luxury connoisseurs are happy to pay a king’s ransom for his meticulous sashimi, preferably prepared within diners’ views at the bar. Risotto folded with uni and truffles and saltwater eel are two favorites.

Aureole

Located in the eco-friendly Bank of America Tower, Aureole continues the commitment to the environment with a long-standing tradition of using farm-to-table ingredients.
