New York City: Bar Masa (December 2011)

My spouse and I dined for lunch at Bar Masa in early December 2011. We took a quick trip into the city to dine after our Global Entry interviews at Newark International Airport. From there, we emailed our passports to get our visas for Brazil and Argentina. The sushi was amazingly fresh! Masa is located on the fourth floor of the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. The restaurant was opened by Chef Masa Takayama in 2004 and is considered one of the most expensive restaurants in the world, as well as the most expensive restaurant in New York City. Located next door to the restaurant is Bar Masa, a more accessible dining experience offering an a la carte menu.
