The story
Per Se, a contemporary American restaurant at 10 Columbus Circle in New York City, holds three Michelin stars (2026). It sits in Midtown Manhattan's Time Warner building, where the kitchen works with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
Both tasting menus change every day, so no two visits repeat. The full tasting takes about four hours. Forbes Travel Guide awarded the restaurant Five-Star in 2026, praising its service and attention to detail.
The two-tiered main dining room has large windows and only 16 tables, and nearly every seat has a view of Central Park. Guests who skip the full tasting can walk into the salon without a reservation and order from the à la carte menu. A couch facing Central Park South suits a bite and a cocktail.
