You're completely missing the next wave of high end NYC dining, smaller destination chef oriented places like Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare, or Torst, or Blanca. Now one could certainly argue the merits of those places, but pretending that NYC fine dining is defined by midtown and expense accounts just makes it seem like you don't spend much time here. Not to mention the real money types go to Eleven Madison Park, which is still stellar and curiously absent from your list.
