Hard for me to justify that this was the 2nd most expensive meal of my life, > $700 after tax and tip. I don’t think I’m an omakase fan but I’ll probably still check out Sushi Sho.
Omakase priced at 450, I got the supplemental uni/hairy crab for 80, iced green tea was 20. Not pixtured, ice cream with caviar was 50 but they comped it for my first visit.
YOLO. To each their own.
4 Charles - classy as advertised. Best french dip I've had, and equally excellent sides that were still good 2 days later.
Bom - some excellent dishes, including one of the best bites I've ever had with the caviar topped steak. Wish I bought the supplementary meat dish at the end
Marcel - I think the nicest looking restaurant I've every been to, with millions of dollars of Sothebys art scattered around the restaurant. Food was above average but not memorable. Dont order the fries, they sucked. Expensive - bill for 2 was around $500 and we didnt order anything crazy.
Ambassadors Clubhouse - damn good. Must get the big prawn and chicken lollipops
Le Pavillon - great oyster, good experience, and good value for NYC
La Tete D'Or - classy spot. A great Caesar salad. Don't think the prime rib was worth the price. Excellent desserts (including the bonus soft serve pic).
Corima - a good experience but wouldnt need to repeat
Salt Hanks - very good but not the best French Dip. Tip is to walk in and order for takeout, skipping the line
L'Entrecote - always a good value for NYC
Nubiana - some of the best views in NYC. Love Jose Andres but prefer food from his other spots.
Sunday Morning - good cinnamon rolls with interesting flavors, but not worth waiting in the crazy line
Baba Bureka - I enjoyed as a midday snack
Towa - $100 omakase is excellent value and quality for NYC
Ess a Bagel - one of my go tos in the city
