NEW YORK (Sept. 28, 2011) – Though the full selection of the MICHELIN Guide New York City 2012 won't be available for another week, Michelin announced today that 114
New York City restaurants have been included in the 2012 "Bib Gourmand" category. Bib Gourmand selections are restaurants serving two courses and a
glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included).
While the Michelin stars remain the most celebrated designation in the MICHELIN Guide, Bib Gourmand is a highly desired distinction among
restaurateurs. In fact, the goal of inspectors is to provide comprehensive choices to accommodate the readers' comfort, tastes and budget. Introduced
in 1997, the Bib Gourmand symbol depicts the head of the Michelin Man, which indicates an inspector's favorites for good value.
The 2012 Bib Gourmand 114 selections include these restaurants:
