A three-Michelin-star tasting menu — now fully plant-based — in one of the city’s most iconic dining rooms.
Why It Belongs on the List
Three Michelin stars and a former #1 on the World's 50 Best Restaurants — Daniel Humm's landmark on Madison Square Park is among the ambitious tasting menu experiences in the United States. The menu is now plant-forward but not strictly vegan; the signature honey and lavender duck has returned. At $365 per person for nine courses, it is a full-evening commitment. The room — a soaring Art Deco dining hall in the former Metropolitan Life Insurance building — is one of the great New York interiors. One of a small number of restaurants in the city that visitors specifically plan trips around.
