NYC was released the other day. I gotta say, I feel like Michelin doesn't think there's much new happening in NYC high-end dining that really impresses them these days.

-No new 3 stars, with Jean Georges and Daniel losing their third star in recent years.
-Gabriel Kreuther (deservedly) gets a second star. Ichimura shows up again as 2 stars, now at Bar Uchu. The new L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon gets 2 stars (I feel like they will give a star to any restaurant with his name on it)
-A handful of new 1-star restaurants, most notably Sushi Nakazawa finally making it (although my wife said the quality in her last visit was not great, and the restaurant was quite empty when she went) and Le Coucou, which is still insanely hard to get a reservation to (but is extremely good)

More interested to see what SF's list brings in a couple weeks. Hoping that the concierge at the Fairmont SF can finally hook me up with Benu...
