2024 Michelin Guide New York Stars
December 10, 2024
New York. The city that never sleeps, the melting pot of America. Regardless of what you call it, one thing is true—New York is home to some of the most diverse (and delicious) restaurants in the world. And the over 400 MICHELIN Guide restaurants in its selection is proof of that.
This year’s selection saw the inclusion of thirteen new Stars (1 Three Star, 3 Two Stars, 8 One Stars, and 1 Green Star), with heavy hitters like newly promoted Three Star Jungsik New York (formerly Two Stars) and Green Star One White Street leading the way.
At Jungsik, guests can expect polished and creative dishes like crisped octopus with gochujang aioli and dry-aged Arctic char in a pool of kimchi and red curry sauce.
New Green Star One White Street, on the other hand, sources seasonal produce from their partner farm in the Hudson Valley, where sustainable farming techniques and reinvesting in the community have created a supportive ecosystem.
So, whether it’s progressive sustainable techniques or eating underground in New York’s subway system, here is everything you need to know about this year’s newest culinary stars.
Bon appétit!
