Editorial Review

In an era of high concept restaurants, Next takes the cake. This project from celebrated chef Grant Achatz (Alinea) offers a tasting menu based on a specific time and place (i.e. Paris, 1906; Hong Kong 2036), changing every three months. Reservations have been replaced by an exclusive ticket-based system that promises 4-star dining at 3-star prices, but that really just means you'll be shelling out $3K on Craigslist for what would have been an $85 ticket. The chic, train station inspired space is guaranteed to be stocked with phenomenal food and interesting people, no matter the specific time.
