Masa
$1,160 for multi-course menu for two
Masa is by far the most expensive of the Michelin 3-star restaurants. Despite having been stripped of its fourth star by the New York Times in 2011, the Times still says "
Masa is the city’s greatest sushi restaurant. That is not nothing." Masa Takayama is the genius Umami-style chef behind the 26-seat zen sushi temple of hinoki wood and bamboo. You play by his rules when you dine at Masa, with reservations only available on the first of the month and no menu offered.
