One of the best restaurants in NYC is serving one of the most magical culinary adventures you'll ever encounter in the back of their restaurant. The great Mexican joint Empellon Cocina, where chef Alex Stupak serves innovative, genius Mexican fare has opened up The Kitchen Table in the back, a four seat tasting table, where his whimsical and delicious creations are being served. He is serving a tasting menu, a very long one, where bite after bite will leave you with pleasure and tastes like you've never encountered. The 22 + courses at $165 is actually a good bang for your buck, book a seat (if you can, there are only 4). A 6pm tasting and $95 will get you 10 courses.
