Nine NYC added to Michelin
Michelin added nine new New York City restaurants to its guide in the latest selection — five are in Brooklyn and four are in Manhattan, according to Eater NY and FOX5 New York ( ). Patch notes Michelin updates its Selection twice a year while stars and Bib Gourmands are decided at the annual ceremony (patch.com).
Michelin added nine New York City restaurants to its guide on April 15, with Brooklyn taking five of the new spots and Manhattan four. (guide.michelin.com) (fox5ny.com) The Brooklyn additions are Entre Nous in Clinton Hill, Los Burritos Juárez in Fort Greene, Bong in Crown Heights, Vato in Park Slope, and I Cavallini in Williamsburg. (guide.michelin.com) The Manhattan additions are Le Chêne in Greenwich Village, Hwaro in Midtown West, Elcielo New York in NoMad, and Cove in SoHo. FOX 5 New York reported the same nine-name list from Michelin’s April update. (fox5ny.com) (guide.michelin.com) Michelin said its inspectors add new restaurants to the Selection twice a year, while Stars and Bib Gourmands are held for the annual ceremony later in the year. Restaurants added now appear with a “New” symbol on Michelin’s website and mobile app. (guide.michelin.com) That means these nine are recommended now, but they have not yet won Stars or Bib Gourmands. Michelin said being selected puts a restaurant on inspectors’ radar for possible future awards. (fox5ny.com) (guide.michelin.com) Michelin’s own descriptions show how wide the field is: Entre Nous is a wine bar in Clinton Hill, Los Burritos Juárez focuses on border-style burritos from El Paso and Ciudad Juárez, and Bong serves Cambodian shared plates in Crown Heights. (guide.michelin.com) The guide also highlighted Vato as a daytime tortilleria from the team behind Michelin-starred Corima, I Cavallini as an Italian sibling to The Four Horsemen, Le Chêne as a French restaurant from Alexia and Ronan Duchêne, and Hwaro as Chef Sungchul Shim’s 22-seat counter inside Gui. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin lists 358 restaurants in New York City and surrounding areas on its site, so this update expands a guide that already reaches well beyond the star winners most diners know by name. (guide.michelin.com) For now, the practical change is simple: nine more New York restaurants are officially in Michelin’s book, and the next round of Stars and Bib Gourmands will decide whether any move higher.
