NEW YORK -- Eating at a high-end sushi restaurant in New York City can set you back by four figures these days, with the bill pushed up by costs for shipping, ingredients and labor.
Masa, whose cuisine has earned the top Michelin rating of three stars, charges $950 for an omakase ("chef's choice") course at the counter. With drinks and taxes, the check easily tops $1,000. Omakase sushi cost $850 at Masa not long ago.
