Our Guide To The Best Tasting Menus In NYC

Contra

Contra, a newly opened project from Jeremiah Stone and Fabian van Hauske, is revolutionizing the concept of the tasting menu. Diners here are given a single prix fixe menu, consisting of five courses each simply described with three words. That is the only menu that is offered for the evening, and it changes nightly depending on the freshest ingredients that came in that day. The burden of decision making has been taken out of your hands. So instead of worrying about whether you've ordered the right dishes, you can relax and focus on your meal, knowing that whatever it is you're enjoying was hand selected by the chefs as the best dishes to present for the evening. And at only $55, a dinner here won't leave you with buyers remorse. Contra, 138 Orchard St, New York, NY 10002 [Photo via @chefbkida]
