Re: High-end Dining: Expectations and Reviews
Go to second (third, fourth?) the WD-50 recs. Went there on first trip to NY and it was outstanding. Had the tasting menu, and while not every dish was a success, the whole meal was utterly memorable. The deep fried mayo and the shrimp and basil macaroons will live long in the memory, as will the noodle soup (you squrt the "noodle" into the soup as a liquid, where it sets immediately). Also Wylie Dufresne was in the kitch, seemingly having a great time, and had a ten minute chat with us at the end of service. Really nice guy.
I also want to go to Tailor, when next in NY though my immediate dining priority in London is a trip back to St John, which I've been looking forward to for ages.
