"Price: $334 Nearly three decades after it first opened, Daniel Boulud’s flagship fine dining restaurant on the Upper East Side makes a good case for keeping the genre alive. Aside from a gorgeous dining room renovation in 2021, few things have changed—and that’s a good thing. The incredibly competent French cooking, warm service, and venerable cheese cart are well worth the dent in your bank account." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick
