Next Restaurant is the brainchild of chef-restaurateur Grant Achatz (Alinea) and his business partner Nick Kokonas. To enjoy the privilege of visiting, diners must purchase advance tickets via its website, nextrestaurant.com. The cost varies by day of the week and whether or not you choose to dine during prime time hours. The menu changes every few months and each time a new set of dishes is offered. They focus on a respective period and world locale, as in the inaugural Paris 1906 menu. The price point here is notably down-to-earth (around $80 to $100 for six courses, with beverage pairings starting at $22 per person). Because the meal is paid for in advance, there’s no transaction to speak of at the restaurant proper.
