Sushi Inoue, First-Ever Restaurant Awarded One Star in Harlem! PRESS RELEASE Boulogne-Billancourt, November 17, 2016 Sushi Inoue, first-ever restaurant awarded one star in Harlem! Aska awarded two stars in the MICHELIN guide New York City 2017; 12 new restaurants awarded one Star Michelin is pleased to unveil the new selection in the MICHELIN Guide New York 2017, which highlights a total of 857 restaurants, including 77 starred- establishments. In this new selection, all the three starred restaurants maintain their distinction this year: Cesar Brooklyn Fare , Eleven Madison Park , Jean-Georges , Le Bernardin , Masa and Per Se . Located in Brooklyn in the shadows of the historic Williamsburg Bridge, Aska guets two stars in the MICHELIN guide 2017. After renovating and relocating to a more spacious and larger kitchen that seems to further unleash the talents of Chef Frederik Berselius and his skilled team, the restaurant continues to deliver a contemporary cuisine with Scandinavian influences. Aska is one of 12 Brooklyn starred restaurants on this year’s list. The Modern , located in Midtown at the Museum of Modern Art remains two stars. This highly respected New York restaurant flourished again despite closing its doors for a time this summer to undertake a complete kitchen renovation and refreshed dining room. On the one-star front, 12 new eateries have gained this prized culinary distinction in the new edition of the Michelin Guide. Chelsea’s La Sirena and Ushiwakamaru restaurants were awarded one star. La Sirena represents the latest culinary venture from celebrity chef Mario Batali who has selected Chef Josh Laurano— who honed his skills at Del Posto and Babbo — to prepare a New York-style Italian menu. Ushiwakamaru was just relocated to Chelsea last year and brought veteran Chef Hideo Kuribara and his team’s supreme sushi with it. Harlem – which is now home to its first-ever Michelin starred restaurants-- welcomes Nagasaki–native and legendary sushi chef, Chef Shinichi Inoue, whose establishment, Sushi Inoue, offers four extraordinary options for omakase. In Manhattan’s Financial District, L’Appart is nestled in the sprawling French market, Le District. It is captained by Chef de Cuisine Nicolas Abello, who worked with Gerard Vie in France, Pierre Gagnaire in London and Daniel Boulud in New York, refining a constantly changing and evolving French menu. Greenwich Village is home to three one-star newcomers: Gunter Seeger NY -- named for its head chef who is a longtime Atlanta culinary figure--offers a serious and technically uncompromising contemporary menu in a casual setting; Nix, which is the brainchild of Chef John Fraser, focuses on vegetables and thus recognizes the desire of many to eat less meat and still enjoy a memorable gourmet experience, and Sushi Zo which is named after its famous chef and owner and has created excitement among New Yorker sushi lovers, most of whom know of the famed omakase chef only from his reputation established for many years in Los Angeles. In Midtown East, two new stars make their debut in the new edition of the Michelin Guide. Offering a seasonal and tantalizing earthy Scandinavian fare, Agrern is the product of the Danish food entrepreneur Claus Meyer who co-founded the world famous noma restaurant, and is located in the Grand Central Terminal. Sushi Ginza Onodera is especially noteworthy in a crowd of New York sushi restaurants due in part to its unrelenting pursuit of fresh and seasonal fish, much of which is hand speared by Japanese fisherman. Another sushi restaurant on this year’s one-star list is Kanonyama, which has been a part of the East Village culinary fabric for nearly a decade. Chef Nobuyuki Shikanai, has helped expand the size and focus of the restaurant with several new menu items and added an impressive omakase counter. Lower East Side’s Contra joins the one stars under the capable leadership of co-owners and head chefs Fabian von Hauske and Jeremiah Stone who have thrilled frugal high-end food enthusiasts with a six-course $67 tasting menu that has evolved recently to offer an enjoyable balance in creative contemporary concepts with high-quality taste. Rounding out the new one-stars is Brooklyn’s Faro with Chef Kevin Adey at the helm who offers a very noteworthy twice-weekly pasta menu, and a regular fare of rustic American and Italian a la carte options made to perfection. The selection in the MICHELIN Guide New York City 2017 is available via the MICHELIN Restaurants US application, and is also available in bookshops. The selection includes: V 6 three stars restaurants V 10 two stars restaurants, of which 1 are new V 61 one star restaurants, of which 12 are new About the MICHELIN Guide The MICHELIN guide selects the best restaurants and hotels in the 28 countries it covers. Providing a showcase of gourmet dining around the world, it highlights the culinary dynamism of a country, as well as new trends and emerging young chefs. Creating value for restaurants through the distinctions that it attributes each year, the MICHELIN guide contributes to the prestige of the local gastronomy, thereby making cities and countries more attractive to tourists. Backed by its rigorous selection method and longstanding knowledge of the hospitality industry, the MICHELIN guide provides customers with unique expertise that enables it to offer them a true quality service.

  • @Tomcolicchio + @Gailsimmons Talk Food and Temple Court in New Downtown Alliance Video
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Elizabeth Lutz, 212.835.2763, [email protected] @TomColicchio + @GailSimmons Talk Food and Temple Court in New Downtown Alliance Video NEW YORK (March 1, 2018) – Chef and Restaurateur Tom Colicchio sat down with fellow Top Chef judge Gail Simmons for an inside look at his restaurant Temple Court in the latest video from The Alliance for Downtown New York. Located in The Beekman Hotel, Temple Court has earned high marks for both Chef Colicchio's signature style and seasonal take on classic dishes as well as for the restaurant and bar's meticulously appointed decor. Here he tells us how the restaurant pays homage to the neighborhood's history. Watch the video at: http://twn.nyc/TempleCourt "A lot of what we do here at Temple Court starts with this idea of bringing back the classics and making them modern. It's all a metaphor for what's going on Downtown. What's old is new, what's new is old - it's all coming back again," notes Chef/Owner Colicchio. "Walking from the Oculus to Temple Court, you can literally visit the future and the past of Lower Manhattan within 15 minutes," adds Simmons. Temple Court was one of the most highly anticipated restaurant openings in Lower Manhattan and is part of the wave of established names and up-and-coming food stars joining the neighborhood's ranks. On the horizon, additional Lower Manhattan restaurant openings will include projects from: - Andrew Carmellini (The Dutch), - Jean-Georges Vongerichten (ABC Kitchen, Jean-Georges), - Daniel Humm and Will Guidara (Eleven Madison Park), - Danny Meyer (Gramercy Tavern), - David Chang (Momofuku) and - James Kent (Nomad).
