Washington DC: Pineapple and Pearls
Being part of some of the most private restaurants within Washington DC, Pineapple and Pearls almost instantly achieved mass popularity in the city after being established in 2017. Bon Apetit featured it in its selection of the finest newfound restaurants of 2017, with Washington’s fine diners echoing the sentiment. The entrance to the restaurant generally takes around a month. Pineapple and Pearls has of late introduced a less expensive menu at $225 a head, reduced from its general $350.
New York City: Eleven Madison Park
More exceptional dining from New York can be found at Eleven Madison Park, established in 1998. The spot failed to lift off the ground before deciding to bring in chef Daniel Humm in 2006. He then purchased the location, elevating it to a position well deserving of the “World’s Best Restaurant” title awarded by Eater in 2017. Being more modest than many of the fancier locations featured here, Humm follows a minimalist practice. Take advantage of its set menu at $310 a head.
