Los Angeles: Urasawa
You cannot talk about Beverly Hills dining without mentioning the exemplary sushi restaurant, Urasawa. Being the junior to Masa’s establishment, the titular sushi chef Hiroyuki Urasawa trained under Masa Takayama. Despite the steep cost, Urasawa brings one of the freshest sushi performances available in Los Angeles, spanning across thirty courses. The omakase experience demands a charge of $550 a head.
New York: Per Se
Here is more dining finesse born of Thomas Keller’s expertise. Per Se is situated in New York City, bringing more “stories” beyond The French Laundry. However, these dining tales are fancier due to their cushy Manhattan positioning. Such stories come in two forms, both being a daily occasion: a nine-course menu, or a five-course one. Its exclusive attendees can enjoy the former menu within the Salon area of Per Se, boasting a charge of $375 a head.
