With two Michelin stars the flagship of David Chang's Momofuku empire, Ko, has grown out of its early tiny digs to much larger spot on Extra Place. Many of the 40 seats are around the chef's counter, with some table seating for those that don't want to toast their good fortune to with the strangers next to them.

The menu offers no choices, but it is always a quirky and/or creative combination of Asian/French cuisine which visitors simply rave about. Since the menu changes daily, if you are lucky enough to get reservations, you are sure to be surprised by the multi-course menu on any given night. Be for warned it will set you back $175 per person.

Reservations are absolutely necessary and need to be made at least one week in advance. You're not going to score a reservation unless you first sign up on their website (hit that green RESERVE button at right) and revisit their site at exactly 10 a.m. You've been warned.

Should you actually score a reservation, you will be transported into a parallel universe, where are truly spectacular multi-course meal will set you eons ahead of your fellow New Yorkers in a singular taste sensation that sweeps multiple nations.
