"One of Danny Meyer’s most famous restaurants, this grand space where chef Michael Anthony has won three New York Times stars and a slew of James Beard Awards, houses two experiences: the dining room with a $175 menu, and the more relaxed a la carte Tavern. Among the price-fixe dishes are roasted carrots with quinoa and pumpkin seeds; summer squash ravioli with ricotta and lemon; roasted duck breast and bacon with wild rice; and lamb with beans and kale. Tavern options include roasted oysters with Swiss chard and apple; duck liver mousse with sour cherries; grilled pork shoulder with squash and tomatoes; sweet potato pappardelle with braised beef; and wood-fired bass with bacon aioli." - Melissa McCart
