This Michelin-crowned teahouse (c 1933), known for its masterful cooking and Eastern art-
deco decor, was once the haunt of opera artists, writers and painters (including the creator
of one exorbitant ink-and-brush gracing a wall), who gave recitals and discussed national
fate over steaming dim sum. Today some of the same waiters that served the tousled glam-
ourati will pour your tea in the same pleasantly irreverent manner.

MODERN ITALIAN

Michelin-recommended and a darling of food critics, Gold is known for its brilliant slant
on Italian cuisine. Ingredients may be French, Spanish or Japanese, but are expertly pre-
pared with Italian finesse, and served in a luminous brasserie-like setting. The semibuffet
lunch ($270 per person) is generous, and for an extra $190 you can also order Gold's signa-
ture dish: handcrafted spaghetti with lobster. (
