Do It Go

For signs of life, New York has more of these than any other city, perhaps, being one of the most famously furious-paced cities in the world. It’s a constantly changing backdrop, where the citiscape turns into new vistas and distinctive neighborhoods, and the people are always coming through by the thousands. For every life there are a thousand stories, and it takes at least one to mine all that happens inside one point of view.

For signs of the good life, New York can also accommodate. It’s a very difficult place to live for those who aren’t fabulously rich, with the constant displays of conspicuous consumption. It’s very tempting to indulge, but one of the great things about being on vacation is that this is the right opportunity to enjoy.

One of the great things that the city can offer for this is the tasting menu. For anyone who likes fine dining, but always feels jealous when looking around at the choices other people have made, this is the thing to satisfy that curiosity. The Italian spot Marea has been a hot spot for awhile now, but even more so with its award for the best tasting menu in the city for 2010. This is 12 courses, at roughly ten dollars a course, and they make sure that everyone can taste the small bites that make mouths insanely happy. They also provide that everyone is more than full at the end.

11 Madison Park , sometimes called simply “EMP,” is a big winner just in terms of the look of the food, but the combinations of flavors will make anyone forget anything bad that ever happened in the world anywhere. And Le Barnardin has always enjoyed making their guests swoon with the elaborate offerings on their lunch and dinner tasting menus.

It’s a difficult choice if one decides to indulge in this mind-blowing event just once, but with the plethora of fabulous restaurants in the city, it’s an amusement park for the tongue. A selection of restaurants that is rivaled only by the selection of NY hotels makes it seem as though the good life is not only on the way, but just moments away.
