"If you want something even fancier than Evelyn’s, walk downstairs to Maass, a restaurant that treats each dish like a piece of art about to be put up for auction. Inside the bright dining room, serious chefs furrow their brows at meticulously fussy wood-fired dishes that require lengthy explanations from well-dressed servers. The snacks and starters are the best parts of the rotating menu, especially the foie gras macarons. Expect to spend around $100 per person (or exactly $225 if you do the chef's counter tasting menu). For a more casual meal, check this place out for its weekend brunch, when jiggly Japanese soufflé pancakes are on the menu. And if the view is your top priority, ask for an outdoor table." - ryan pfeffer
