Le Bernadin with a million-dollar view
I read somewhere that the question is "Will New Yorkers ride an elevator to dinner?" After lunching at Asiate ("Ozy-ah-tay"), I'm here to say if they don't, they're crazy. Had one of the best splurge lunches there ever just last week--and I'd been to Le Bern the same week. They are definitely comparable--and Asiate's view of Central Park and the Fifth Ave skyline from its 35th floor perch in the new Mandarin Oriental Hotel (Time Warner Bldg) is pretty incredible. Friendly, efficient service was a prelude to the food: the broth of my bouillabaisse-like seafood soup was so deliciously unusual, I asked the 'floating' manager what was in it. Beer and the juice of pressed arugula, I was told, along with the seafood juices. For dessert: hope the passion fruit souffle with concentrated essence of oranges is on the menu. This 3-course prix fixe lunch was a NY steal for $35.

redefined midtown
if the opening of asiate is any indication of what is to supposed to become the best concentration of restaurants in ny we are all in for a treat... scallops and crab suckling pig and lobster all fantastic.. if you need any other reason to give it a try the view overlooking central park west and the skyline should be enough..
