Michelin-starred restaurants are no longer exclusive to downtown Manhattan — 12 Brooklyn eateries and a Harlem sushi spot made the cut for the 2017 MICHELIN Guide New York.
Five Manhattan restaurants, such as the Flatiron District's Eleven Madison Park and Jean-Georges on the Upper West Side, received an elite three-star rating. Included in the five was Le Bernardin, a French bistro in midtown that received its eighth Top Food award in the 2017 Zagat Guide.
Harlem got its first-ever Michelin starred restaurant with Sushi Inoue, which opened last July on Lenox Avenue. The sushi restaurant offers four omakase options from famed Japanese chef Shinichi Inoue.
A new two-star selection is Aska, one of the 12 Brooklyn restaurants to receive a spot in the red guide after renovating and relocating to a more spacious kitchen in Williamsburg. The Scandinavian eatery previously attained a one star in the 2015 edition.
Chelsea's La Sirena and Ushiwakamaru were two of 12 new one-star eateries to grace the new edition of the Michelin Guide. Though it missed the mark for Zagat's 2017 list, Scandinavian restaurant Agern managed to make the cut.
