This list is half-baked.
Some entries are deserving. Some are silly. Spice Market? In the top 50 in the World? Maybe the top 50 in the Meatpacking district.
Where is Lever House? Where is Alain Ducasse New York? I like WD50, but it is a small restaurant in a dumpy neighborhood. Does the list consider some of the "soft skills" that a true 3* restaurant should include, like having a table captain and a doorman?
