The 2016 New York Michelin Guide rankings are out - here are all the restaurants that made the cut
According to the website Eater, Michelin called certain chefs to let them know that they'd earned or maintained their star(s), and the chefs then shared the news on social media.
As for the big winners, the six three-star restaurants from last year maintained their status. Since 2011, when Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare and Eleven Madison Park were inducted into three-star fame, the Michelin Guide hasn't added any new restaurants to its top echelon. Though, it has demoted one restaurant, Daniel, to two stars.
In all, 10 new restaurants were added to the one-star list this year, and Danny Meyer's The Modern was elevated from one star to two. The longtime favorites 15 East, Lincoln, and Seäsonal were among the restaurants to lose their star and fall off the list.
The biggest snubs were Annisa (upgraded to three stars by the New York Times in 2014), Cosme (from the chef behind the No. 16 restaurant in the world), and Sushi Nakazawa (one of only six NYC restaurants to earn four New York Times stars).
