Michelin Guide Adds 16 New York City Restaurants
Dishes from The Crane Club in the Meatpacking District
Dozens of excellent restaurants have opened in New York City recently. And a few of them have gained sought-after prestige.
The Michelin Guide just released its latest list of New York City restaurants added to the 'Recommended' selection of its dining guide to the city. All of the restaurants included are eligible to win Bib Gourmand or Star awards at the annual Michelin Guide Ceremony, which typically takes place towards the end of the year.
Currently, New York City is home to over 350 Michelin Recommended restaurants, all vetted by Michelin inspectors. Of this selection, there are five three-star restaurants, 14 two-star restaurants, and 55 one-star restaurants.
New this month to the Michelin guide are several Manhattan hotspots, already tough to secure reservations at. Here are the 16 new Michelin recommended restaurants in New York.
Field Guide in Williamsburg is included on the new list of Michelin Guide's recommended restaurants
Nostalgia is certainly in style, and the newly reporn Cafe Commerce, a West Village restaurant that closed over ten years ago, has been recreated by chef and owner Harold Moore at a new location on the Upper East Side. 'Don't even think of skipping the coconut cake, which has earned a loyal fan base. It's four layers of pure delight,' Michelin says of the restaurant's desserts.
Lest the Upper East Side precede its less-than-destination-worthy dining reputation, know know that Chez Fifi, a posh and intimate French Bistro on East 74th Street, has also joined the Michelin guide.
Crab noodles at Ly Ly Vietnamese Cookhouse on the Upper East Side
A third Upper East Side eatery joins the new inclusions: Ly Ly Vietnam Cookhouse. 'It's the kind of place you want to drop in on a cold winter's night to boost your mood but don't let the whimsical vibe fool you, as the Vietnamese dishes are seriously good,' Michelin shares. La Dong, a Vietnamese restaurant off Union Square popular on social media for its dramatic dining room and tableside pours of pho, is also included.
Also uptown, Sempre Oggi, an Italian trattoria on the Upper West Side made the list thanks to its house-made rigatoni with crispy guanciale and sauteed onion in a roasted tomato sauce and classic tiramisu.
Further south, Chef Michael White's newest restaurant, and ode to the Amalfi Coast in Midtown, has also gained inclusion. 'Orecchiette tossed with blue crab and sea urchin is a highlight, as is the pan-roasted veal chop plated with pancetta-wrapped, charred radicchio,' Michelin advises.
Pasta at Sempre Oggi on the Upper West Side
Want more pasta? Ridgewood, which is on the rise as a culinary destination, has a new restaurant on Michelin's list, il Gigante. 'This neighborhood gem has quickly become a local favorite for its Italian-American dishes served in a cozy setting,' Michelin says. 'The offerings are simple but hit all the right notes…One dish not to miss? Lasagna alla Bolognese, a perfect rendition of a classic that's sided by a small mug filled with grated parm for sprinkling on top. End with tiramisu, of course.' The only other outer borough inclusion in the new list is Field Guide, a contemporary neighborhood restaurant in Williamsburg.
Celeb-chef led steakhouses also pair up on this month's Michelin recommendations. La Tête d'Or, Daniel Boulud's opulent steakhouse, and Crane Club, Melissa Rodriguez's modern steakhouse in the former Del Posto space, have made the list. Taylor Swift dined at the latter.
Tartare served with caviar and kettle chips at Sinsa in the East Village
Two recommended pre-theater spots in Hell's Kitchen are on the list: Hyderabadi Zaiqa, a small Indian restaurant, and Chalong, a Thai restaurant known for shareable plates.
The list rounds out with a few downtown hotspots including European-inspired seafood restaurant Crevette, New England seafood joint Smithereens, Heroes from the team behind Air's Champagne Parlor, and Sinsa, an East Village wine bar with excellent Korean food.

Conservationists try to stop PGE appeal tied to Forest Park transmission line project
PORTLAND, Ore. () — Three organizations want to block Portland General Electric's attempt to reverse the city's rejection of its . Forest Park Conservancy, Forest Park Neighborhood Association and Bird Alliance of Oregon announced on Thursday that they had filed a motion to intervene in the utility company's appeal. PGE in late May, about a month after Portland City Council denied its proposal to axe 376 trees from five acres of Forest Park. Documentary coming to Portland unpacks '80s music scene's connection with Vietnamese youth The company planned to remove the trees to make way for a new quarter-mile transmission line, and to upgrade a pre-existing line, on the 5,200-acre property. While PGE has claimed the project is 'urgently needed and the least impactful' way to maintain 'reliable power,' conservationists have argued it would hinder plant and animal communities. 'We are disappointed that PGE has chosen to challenge the City Council's decision,' FPC Executive Director Scott Fogarty said in a statement. 'We will continue to stand by our responsibility to protect Forest Park under long-standing policy and to represent the voices of our community.'

Michelin-Starred Gwen Is Closing in Hollywood and Moving to the Westside
Gwen, the Michelin-starred restaurant, butcher shop, and bakery in Hollywood from Australia-born chef Curtis Stone, is closing in Hollywood after eight years and looking for another location on the Westside, according to a statement emailed to Eater. Stone opened the restaurant with his brother Luke in 2016 as a follow-up to his Beverly Hills tasting menu destination, Maude, which debuted in 2014. According to Stone, he and his brother, who will remain business partners, have a few different locations in mind but haven't settled on one yet. The last day of business for Gwen will likely be in early-to-mid August, depending on negotiations with the landlord, giving fans almost two months to visit the restaurant before it leaves Hollywood. In 2016, Eater awarded Gwen 'Most Beautiful Restaurant of the Year' for its gorgeous modern Art Deco design, soaring ceilings, and blend of industrial features. The menu incorporated tasting menu elements and a la carte options but centered around the wood-fired grill, which was fully visible from the dining room. Eventually, it settled into a high-end steakhouse with meats dry-aged on the premises. Over the years, Stone expanded the butcher shop to become one of the top destinations for meat in the city, with house-made charcuterie and salumi, pastries, and sandwiches. The restaurant was featured in an Eater video earlier this year as one of the world's top steakhouses.. Gwen's move from Hollywood signals an overall weakness in the neighborhood's dining scene as a result of the 2023 writers' and actors' strikes and the January 2025 wildfires. In the emailed statement, Stone said, 'We've made the difficult decision to move the restaurant because we believe there's an even greater opportunity to grow, develop, and evolve. The heart of Gwen will never change, but we're always seeking ways to refine, reimagine, and raise the bar.' The chef also thanked front and back-of-house staff as well as loyal regulars. Stone elaborated to Eater over text that 'Hollywood is still such a challenge.' Stone also closed Maude in 2024 after a 10-year run and morphed the Beverly Hills space into the Pie Room, a casual daytime pastry, cafe, and wine bar. Over the years, Stone has been busy with television projects in addition to operating his LA restaurants, serving as a judge on Crime Scene Kitchen on Fox, Field Trip with Curtis Stone on PBS, and hosting My Kitchen Rules on Fox. In 2024, he also opened Woodend by Curtis Stone at the Maroma resort in Mexico's Riviera Maya near Cancun. See More: LA Restaurant Closings LA Restaurant News
