Nice offer

I donīt doubt, that their are great restaurants. Perhaps itīs really a question of taste. I like the American restaurants, also Iīm European and of course raisedwith European restaurants. I visited my first 3 star with 5 year

I have to agree, that the tast in the US is different. Also I donīt eat the same things. If Iīm in NY I try to eat as much American products as possible. What I like at the US-Michelin, that they give restaurants a star rating, that in Europe normally would get one. I think in Europe they prefer the "classic" cusine. One example is the Spotted Pig in NYC. I donīt think it would get a star in France. But the food is delicious.
But back to topic. Tried yesterday to reserve a table at Eleven Madisson. Since they are "number 5 in the world" itīs nearly impossible to get a table for dinner. Was easier the last time. At least I got a table at Per Se after the big downgrading.
P.S. Itīs interesting no one answered the entire question. How does the list affect your travel planning?
To say again. Sometimes I only book a trip to try a restaurant. But if the restaurant is inside a hotel and I donīt think this hotel is the best option, I book a different one.
