Gorgeous Gilded Age mansions adorn the East 60s.🌞 I took a stroll in the neighborhood this past weekend, and all the blocks were pretty empty. Where was everyone? Their summer homes I guess. Regardless, it’s a lovely walk experiencing some of “old money” New York between 61st to 67th streets and Park to 2nd Ave.

Indulge in Luxury Dining at Le Bernardin - NYC's Most Expensive Tasting Menu
Avatar Infatuation

Infatuation

Le Bernardin - The Most Expensive Tasting Menu In NYC... Are you a fan of fish? Do you like it when servers anticipate your every need as if they’ve been shadowing you since birth? If you answered yes to both of those questions, or even if you have a mild interest in seafood, plan a special meal at Le Bernardin. This famous seafood restaurant makes its diners feel special. Their eight-course tasting consists almost exclusively of impeccably prepared dover sole, langoustine, and other oceanic items swimming in fussy French sauces. Price: $325 Food is, obviously, the biggest factor, but we also considered service, atmosphere, and other little things that add to the experience.

Discover the Must-Try Japanese Gem in NYC: Okatte Tanto!
Avatar Melanie Yu

Melanie Yu

NYC Must Try: Okatte Tanto This spot is a traditional and authentic Japanese joint serving fresh sushi and a variety of elevated cold and hot Japanese dishes. I really enjoyed their popular pork katsu sando, mentai udon, and fried oysters that they make right in front of you. Their drinks are also fantastic - I’d recommend getting the Shochu Woolong and the Summer Orange! Pro tip: If you want to get the $34 hidden menu item tuna bone, call ahead to make a reservation - they only serve the tuna bone from 5-6:45pm and it’s first reserved, first served with their limited stock per day. What I Ordered: - Tuna Bone [must-try] - Mentai Udon [must-try] - Pork Katsu Sando - Fried Oysters - Octopus marinated with wasabi - Shochu Woolong - drink - Summer Orange - drink

A Culinary Adventure Awaits at Chef Guo's!
Avatar Foodie_NYC

Foodie_NYC

WOW! I had an amazing experience at Chef Guo, a world-renowned expert in Chinese imperial cuisine. The chef invited me to the first tasting of his plant-based menu, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Servers with white gloves, a restaurant that felt more like a palace, and a meal where every item was a perfect celebration for the taste buds. All that with five different kinds of tea servings, a continuous aroma designed by the chef, and a dessert served in an eggshell. While I was the first to experience this meal, the chef hasn’t set a price for it yet, but it is planned to be very affordable. The plant-based tasting menu is planned to be available in October. Definitely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the city, clearly a Michelin star-worthy restaurant.

Clara: Fun Place to Try in NYC Summer is a great time to catch up on your museum-going. While the next-door American Museum of Natural History will be mobbed, the New-York Historical Society is very often less crowded. The exhibit of New York paintings and the Tiffany lamp collection are unrivaled. And there’s a wonderful restaurant on the ground floor named Clara where you can linger over your burger or meal-size salad, and where the bloody marys are strong. There is even a seating area outside with a view of Central Park, and you don’t have to pay museum admissions if you go directly to the restaurant. 170 Central Park West, at 77th Street, Upper West Side

CLASSIC ❗️ I had a fabulous evening at Empire Steakhouse, such a timeless establishment. The food was incredible—the steak literally melted in my mouth. The vibe was amazing, so classic that I almost expected Ol’ Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra, to walk in any minute… Every part of the meal was a masterclass in classic flavors, and the service was equally impeccable. A real class of its own 🌟

Discover the Perfect Steak at Le Relais de Venise!
Avatar Natasha Surti

Natasha Surti

🥩The steaks are high🥩 🍽Where I went: Le Relais de Venise - L’Entrecôte ✔️What I got: Salad, Steak & Fries 💰What I paid: $32 ⠀ 🤔What I think: This restaurant is arguably one of my favorites in the city. They only serve salad, steak (cooked to your preference), and fries for a fixed price of $32. That being said, this steak is cooked to perfection and what really makes entrecôte so special is the sauce that they serve with the steak. If you like steak, I would highly recommend trying this restaurant.
