Norma’s Zillion Dollar Frittata, $1000

Whether it’s their Super Blueberry Pancakes or their Lox and Lox of Bagels, Norma’s over-the-top menu never fails to make breakfast the most important (and best) meal of the day. But nothing comes close to their take on the frittata. In Norma’s Zillion Dollar Frittata, fresh steamed lobster, 10 ounces of exquisite Sevruga caviar and a perfect frittata sit atop a bed of grilled Yukon potatoes.

Serendipity 3’s Grilled Cheese, $214

Created on National Sandwich Day, The Quintessential Grilled Cheese Sandwich is the most luxurious version of this comfort classic out there. Diners must order the dish two full days in advance as the luxe ingredients are flown in for each dish. The bread is a French Pullman Champagne bread made with Dom Perignon and 24-carat edible gold flakes. It’s then layered with white truffle butter. But the real star of the show is the rare Caciocavallo Podolico cheese from southern Italy. The sandwich is then toasted and the crust is lined with the gold flakes. South African Lobster Tomato Bisque swirled with crème fraîche and truffle oil acts as the perfect dipping sauce.
