Amaze, New York

Thanks to its ambitious Asian fusion cuisine and its fashion-forward lounge design, Amaze succeeds in doing exactly that. At three locations, dishes hoist marbleized, ever-changing blends of Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, and Malaysian influences, to name just a few. Garlic mussels, sushi and sashimi, young ginger duck, and bento boxes populate the general menu, while brunch and happy hour see specialty items on plates. And with decor elements that include the likes of high, arched ceilings and fiber optics, the restaurants completely immerse each guest in not just bold flavors, but boldly stylish environments.
