The top culinary experience in the city comes courtesy of fusion master Susur Lee's eye-popping yet edible minimalist creations. Dishes like confit of pork with braised cabbage or lemongrass chicken wings with spiced foie gras make him likely to regain the honor he lost after battling to a draw against Bobby Flay on Iron Chef. The decor is upscale modern, the atmosphere is reverentially... more
