"Starting at $465 per person, the Michelin-starred Noz 17 is a sibling to Sushi Noz and serves as a Toyota Corolla-sized restaurant that seats just seven diners at a time. Chef Junichi Matsuzaki offers one of New York’s most epic and most unconventional tasting menus. Dinner might begin with a lotus root dumpling with tofu skin, followed by gizzard shad sushi: a tiny silver fish as tart as a spoonful of vinegar. Two courses later, sushi arrives again, this time in the form of yuzu-dusted sea bream." - Nadia Chaudhury
