Masa

At Masa Takayama’s restaurant in the Time Warner Center, the revered chef serves breathtaking Japanese food in a soothing, minimalist setting—just be prepared to spend three figures to indulge. Shabu shabu, fugu and some of the City’s best sushi are standouts; for the pure Masa experience, sit at the cypress-wood bar to watch Takayama and his acolytes prepare your feast with exquisite attention to detail.
