Welcome to Whale Week, A Celebration of Splurges

Beginning right now and ending around 5 p.m. Friday, Eater is observing a little something we like to call Whale Week. We'll be highlighting high-rollers (or "whales", as some folks in the industry like to refer to them) and the places they like to blow their stacks of cash.

During the next five days, we'll tell you where you can indulge in the city's most expensive dishes, talk to some of the city's top sommeliers about pricey bottles of wine, and of course, there will be plenty of chatter about foie gras and caviar. We'll also share some amusing whale tales from within the industry. If you've got any stories to spill or questions you want answered, hit us up via the tipline—anonymity guaranteed.
