EAT IN RESIDENCE Housed in a Nolita building that fans might recognise from the TV series Will & Grace, the Chef’s Club is a fancy version of the supper club concept. Here, stars of the culinary world, such as Éric Fréchon of Le Bristol in Paris and Daniel Burns of Noma, take up residency for weeks at a time and turn out their signature dishes or tasting menus.

CELESTIAL You’ll want to put aside the guts of four hours for the dining experience at Eleven Madison Park, but your reward is ten courses of brilliantly creative and whimsical food by chef Daniel Humm, whose almost pathological attention to detail has bagged three Michelin stars. If that’s too much effort, there’s a fivecourse menu in the bar. (11 Madison Ave, +1 212 889 0905; elevenmadisonpark.com)
POSH With two threeMichelin-starred restaurants on his CV, Thomas Keller’s next move was always going to be interesting. TAK Room is a high-end throwback to the American chophouse, serving classics (lobster Thermidor, Dover sole, steaks) sprinkled with Keller’s culinary fairy dust and priced to boot: it’s not for nothing he’s called the godfather of the $1k meal.
