NYC Michelin Star Rated Restaurants 2008
By BankersBall on Oct 10, 2007 in Eats, Lifestyle
The “tire guy’s” ratings for 2008 are out. Say what you want, but in this age of too much information, the guides are helpful in that they whittle the list down. No new three-starred restaurants were added, but The London and Picholine were new two-starred restaurants. See after the jump for a complete year-by-year table.
Thank goodness Craft fell off. We hear Luger’s — still a one-starred restaurant — is having consistency issues.
Below are the ratings for the 2008 Michelin guide as well as comparisons of 2006 (first published in 2005) and 2007.
