Well, a few. By far and away the one I miss most is Honmura An in New York. I've been to the one in Tokyo a few times and it is the same, but a rather longer trip from Long Island than the Soho outpost. The last time I was in Tokyo the owner told me there were "seven New York regulars there" including me. That speaks to the popularity of the place.

I also miss:

Alain Ducasse New York

Atelier Joel Robuchon

Tabla - used to be in the same building as Eleven Madison Park but I preferred Tabla, especially the take on the Indian street food they served in the ground floor room

Picholine - was one of my favorite high end places in New York

One I forget the name of that was near Lincoln Center. My wife and I would often go after the opera for cheese and champagne at the bar. I think they had Krug by the glass

Taillevent in Paris. Still open but I think not the family owned 3 star restaurant of the past

Wodka in the Chelsea area of London. Many fantastic meals there. The owner would usually comp me a couple shots of infused vodka. We had a very small FT do there one night.
