This is the most expensive restaurant in all of New York—and we're not surprised
According to a new study by Love Food, the three-Michelin-starred institution has officially claimed the title of New York State's priciest restaurant, thanks to its $350 tasting menu that reads more like poetry than dinner.
Chef Eric Ripert's iconic seafood temple has been wooing critics and deep-pocketed diners since 1986, and its newest accolades only cement its status. Not only did it land on the World's 50 Best Restaurants extended list for 2025, but it now also leads the state in luxury dining, with caviar to match. (Literally: An ounce of the royal stuff will set you back $220.)
So what does $350 get you? An eight-course symphony of oceanic indulgence. Expect foie gras-topped yellowfin tuna; steamed lobster in citrusy shellfish broth; Dover sole with cauliflower, Romanesco and toasted almonds; and red snapper served over nori rice in a velvety green curry. You'll cruise through salmon with Royal Osetra caviar, buttery halibut with baby vegetables and a pair of decadent desserts (think: spiced cherries with yogurt sorbet and a warm Peruvian chocolate tart with Tahitian vanilla ice cream). Wine pairings? Naturally—and yes, they'll cost extra.
The West 51st Street dining room remains a bastion of white tablecloths and jackets-required formality, with just enough modernity from slick leather banquettes and a sweeping 24-foot seascape by Brooklyn artist Ran Ortner to remind you this isn't your grandmother's prix fixe.
And if you can't quite swing the tasting menu, the lounge offers a luxe-but-more-accessible workaround in the form of a $54 lobster roll and cocktails like the mezcal-forward MLC or the Dalloway Sour, laced with chamomile and rose.

Roy Keane savages Sir Jim Ratcliffe over Man Utd's next two transfers
Manchester United may look to do further business in the transfer market, but those plans have been blasted by Roy Keane as he referenced the cost-cutting measures that were introduced at Old Trafford Roy Keane made his thoughts clear on Manchester United 's transfer plans by blasting Sir Jim Ratcliffe over his decision to get rid of staff meals. It's been an expensive summer for the Premier League side who've spent over £210million following what was one of the worst seasons in the club's modern history. Bringing in the likes of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and most recently Benjamin Sesko, Ruben Amorim has transformed his attacking line-up through heavy spending. Despite the overhaul at the top end of the pitch, the Red Devils still possess issues in defence and midfield, especially the latter, with no signings having been made to improve the engine room. United are interested in signing Brighton's Carlos Baleba, who is reportedly valued at £100million by the Seagulls, who want to recoup a nine-figure fee to part ways with the talented 21-year-old. The Red Devils have also been linked with a move for PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who announced his acrimonious exit from the French champions on Wednesday after being shunned by Luis Enrique. Donnarumma could well join City instead but United have also been linked with other big-money moves, including for Emiliano Martinez and Adam Wharton. The two potential incomings were discussed on the return of The Overlap's Rest is Football podcast, as Keane took aim at United's possible further expenditure. "If United were to get him [Donnarumma] and there's talk of Baleba from Brighton which I can't believe," Gary Neville began saying. After the Irishman asked how United would get the money to pay for Donnarumma and Baleba, Jamie Carragher piped in and said: "I thought they were going bankrupt. They were months away from going bust weren't they?" The Liverpool legend referenced Ratcliffe's claim earlier this year, where he said the club would have run out of money by Christmas this year if he hadn't introduced several rounds of redundancies and cut back on staff meals to save money. "Manchester United would have run out of cash by the end of this year - by the end of 2025 - after having me put £232.72m ($300m) in and if we buy no new players in the summer, he told the BBC."We are in the process of change and it's an uncomfortable period and disruptive and I do feel sympathy with the fans. "The simple answer is the club runs out of money at Christmas if we don't do those things." In jest, Keane responded with: "Are the staff gonna get their sandwiches back?" It was in February that it was announced that free lunches for staff at Old Trafford and Carrington were removed, as well as the closure of the staff canteen at the stadium. While Keane said United's struggling midfield will receive some respite due to the ability of the new attackers to be on the front foot, it remains an issue for Amorim. The ex-United skipper said: "There's slightly less pressure on their midfield, don't get me wrong, but that will be the problem that'll still hold them back over the next year or two unless they bring in players. "But they have to start somewhere. They weren't going to bring seven or eight players." When asked by Neville whether he believes they could pull off a move for Baleba, Keane said there's one main reason a deal won't be done. "I'd be surprised if it happens," he said. "I still think he's got to do a bit more. It's still potential. You can't pay £100m for a player that you don't know where it's going to go." Amorim's new-look United attack will face an immediate acid test as the Red Devils' campaign commences on Sunday when they host Arsenal.

Coach parent Tapestry cuts profit forecast on tariff hit, shares slump
Aug 14 (Reuters) - Coach parent Tapestry (TPR.N), opens new tab forecast annual profit below expectations due to rising tariffs, sending its shares plunging 14%, and said it planned to cut the number of handbag styles offered as retailers try to offset the impact of import duties. The company said tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump would cost it about $160 million for its fiscal 2026, following warnings from other upmarket retailers such as Gucci-owner Kering ( opens new tab and French luxury group LVMH ( opens new tab on the hit from the levies. The retail industry relies heavily on production from Southeast Asian countries, and now must bear the cost of roughly 20% tariffs on goods brought in from those nations. Tapestry makes its Coach and Kate Spade handbags primarily in countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines and India. The tariffs will disproportionately affect Kate Spade as the vast majority of its business is in the United States, chief financial officer Scott Roe said. Tapestry said it would cut the number of Kate Spade handbags it offers by 30%. Several retailers have reduced the range of inventory they are importing as weaker-selling brands become less attractive to ship with added tariffs. "Tariffs are now forcing brands across the consumer spectrum to take a closer look at their assortments and focus on their most profitable SKUs, which can also help preserve margins by reducing the need to markdown," eMarketer's Sky Canaves said. The company's quarterly sales came in at $1.72 billion, ahead of the LSEG analyst consensus for $1.68 billion. Tapestry also said it expects annual revenue of $7.2 billion, ahead of expectations. Adjusted profit for the quarter ended June 28 was $1.04 per share, topping estimates of $1.02 per share. Tapestry expects fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share in the range of $5.30 to $5.45, compared with estimates of $5.49 per share, according to LSEG data. The company expects a 60-cent tariff hit to its annual profit, with the end of the "de minimis" exemption on small shipments accounting for about a third of the impact. "Even within Tapestry, the sought-after Coach brand should be able to pass down more of the tariff costs to customers via higher prices than Kate Spade, which is less in demand," Canaves added. Companies this year aggressively increased imports ahead of Trump's imposition of tariffs. So far, U.S. businesses have mostly absorbed the rising import costs, but Goldman Sachs economists believe that will change in the coming months. While consumer-level inflation has remained relatively steady, inflation at the producer level spiked in July. Tapestry sales declined 11% in Japan and revenue decreased 1% in other Asian countries. Shares of the company have risen about 74% this year, largely due to the appeal of Coach bags that have won over younger consumers.

Billionaire owner of Willie Mullins' ‘very classy' new £300,000 horse confirmed and Cheltenham Festival target decided
She really could be anything MONEY TALKS Billionaire owner of Willie Mullins' 'very classy' new £300,000 horse confirmed and Cheltenham Festival target decided Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE billionaire owner of Willie Mullins' 'very classy' new £300,000 horse has been confirmed. And her Cheltenham Festival target has already been decided. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Willie Mullins and billionaire Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary had a public falling out a few years ago but they are big mates again now and could have a superstar on their hands in the shape of £300,000 Poetisa Credit: Sportsfile - Subscription The latest Horse Racing Ireland update showed Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown House Stud as the owner of Poetisa. Mullins and right-hand man Harold Kirk saw off Nicky Henderson to land the Cheltenham winner at the Goffs sales in May. Formerly trained by Toby Bulgin, Poetisa won a mares' bumper at the home of jumps in April. Sent off 20-1 under former champion jockey Brian Hughes, she stayed on well up the hill after meeting trouble to win by a neck. Poetisa commanded a price tag of £42,000 as a three-year-old but her value soared after the Cheltenham victory. And Mullins clearly liked what he saw, with her pedigree suggesting big things lie in store in the future. Poetisa is from the same family as multiple Grade 1-winning superstar Macs Joy. The Jessica Harrington-trained hurdler won over half a million quid from 31 career races, which included nine victories. And O'Leary will be hoping for something similar from his newly-acquired mare. Gigginstown House were also listed as the new owners of French import Mino Des Mottes, who it is thought is also in training with Mullins. But it's Poetisa who Kirk has big hopes for. And he had already decided her target for the Festival when splashing the cash a few months ago. The bloodstock expert said: "She's a Cheltenham winner already and she'll only improve. "She was very classy when she won. She's a lovely mare and hopefully she'll go down the mares' route over hurdles as there's a big programme for these mares now." Poetisa can be backed at 10-1 for the Mares Novices' Hurdle, with Mullins' Champion Bumper winner Bambino Fever the 3-1 favourite.
