There is something for every palate in New York and the food here is not just food, but a bouquet of flavors with a generous dose of history and is in line with the latest trends. Here’s a list of restaurants to be experienced if you are looking for a Michelin-star experience that is all within walking distance from Vertoe locations. Feel free to drop your luggage and head out to get yourself one of the best gourmet meals in New York City:
Le Bernardin is the high temple of sparkling seafood and shellfish. Take your pick from the three sections — Almost Raw, Barely Touched, and Lightly Cooked. The flavors here vary from the French and Asian spectrums served by waiters in Nehru-style jackets. This three-Michelin-starred restaurant was renovated in 2011 on modernist lines but still maintains its high standards that have ensured its spot on the top restaurant lists for years now. If you are not looking to go all out, our tip is to get a taste of Le Bernardin by checking into the lounge area and having a go at the scrumptious bar snacks.

La Grenouille
La Grenouille, which opened in 1962, is one of the last surviving French restaurants that were opened in the 60s. The plush interiors and flower arrangements will remind you of Downtown Abbey when dinner is being supervised by a butler. Jackets are mandatory here and the pre-fixe dinner menu will set you back up $138. If you want to get a sneak peek of the extravagance then head for the $16–18 pre-theater menu, served 5–6 pm every day.
Keens Steakhouse
Keens has been around for over 120 years and some of the regulars here included J.P. Morgan and Teddy Roosevelt. In the ever-changing dining scene of New York, Keen has stood the test of time. The decor and setting are incredible, and the quality of the meat matches the expensive asking price. A trip to Keens is incomplete without the legendary three-inch-thick mutton chop. If you are a smoking pipe enthusiast or just someone looking to find out what the craze is about then you’ll be happy to know that restaurant houses more than 50,000 smoking pipes, making it one of the largest
