Jean George’s has been credited with revolutionizing New York cuisine and his cookbooks have become a bible for young chefs. This restaurant is a must for anyone with a discerning palette and a taste for the best things in life.

Jean Georges Vongerichten is well-known as one of the world’s best chefs and is himself a living legend. He has been profiled in almost every major magazine, was awarded Best Chef by Esquire and was included on Forbes Celebrity 100 list. He has also won several James Beard awards and has appeared on countless radio and television shows from Food Network favorites to Good Morning America.

His fame has been duly earned and the cuisine at Jean George proves his mastery.  I recommend the tasting menu ($148) which includes his signature dishes. You can also choose three items ($98) from a list of unique delights such as Egg Caviar, Santa Barbara Sea Urchin with Black Bread Jalepeno and Yuzu, and slowly cooked Niman Ranch Beef Tenderloin with Miso butter and roasted brussel sprouts.

While the food itself is purely enough reason to go, the crowd watching is also excellent. Keep your eyes peeled for celebrities in this consistently posh hot spot.

Call early for a reservation. Those of you trying to get in last minute-check out the Mistral Terrace, which is part of the restaurant and does not take reservations.
