Buying the New Yorker - Interior Back Cover

The home stretch - and we reach a sort of quandary. This is one of those VISA ads where they show you something that you can buy with your credit card, and then follow it with something else that is "priceless." "Priceless" is sure going to muck the total, so I'll just go with the thing that they have listed. Much easier that way. Thus:

Laid back dinner on the 52nd floor of the Park Hyatt Tokyo - $359.00

Taking the easy way out - priceless.

On the 52nd floor of the Park Hyatt Tokyo you will find the "New York Grill," which is indeed what is pictured in the ad.
One of the city's foremost see-and-be-seen venues, this is where Tokyoites gather for prime steaks, fresh buffalo burrata with Kochi tomatoes and grilled specialties from the sea, accompanied by vintages from a list composed entirely of American wines. Specialities include the Chef's daily Kobe beef selection and Wisconsin duck roasted to perfection from the rotisserie.
Not my idea of "laid back," but then dropping more than three and a half Franklins on a dinner for two isn't my idea of "laid back" either.

Running total - $85,037.43<
