Michelin New York 2010 Ratings

The 2010 Michelin restaurant ratings for New York City were announced today. These were the significant shifts:

Promotions: These restaurants had their ratings increased: Daniel (***), Alto (**)

New Restaurants Honored: Corton received two stars. These restaurants received one star: Convivio, Kajitsu, Marc Forgione, Marea, Minetta Tavern, Rhong-Tiam, Rouge Tomate, Seäsonal, Shalizar, SHO Shaun Hergatt, Sushi Azabu.

The tire men were much more prompt about recognizing new restaurants this year. Marea and SHO Shaun Hergatt did not open until the summer of 2009, and managed to get stars. In the past, April was about the latest date a restaurant could open, and be starred the same year.

Stars Regained: A Voce (had one under Carmellini; lost it when he left; got it back)

Overdue Recognition: These restaurants finally earned a star: Casa Mono, Eleven Madison Park, River Café.

Demotions: Adour and Del Posto were knocked down from two to one. Bouley shows up as a new star, but it had two before it moved. Allen & Delancey and Cru lost their chefs, and therefore their stars. JoJo was also demoted to zero, the second time this has happened to them.

Here is the full five-year list. The color codes are explained at the bottom of the page.

That chart is really annoying and extremely anal. You needs drugs, man.

I think that Vong had one, lost it and got it back.

Great chart Mark.

[Marc Shepherd]

@AaronS: JoJo was the restaurant that had it, lost it, and regained it. That never happened to Vong.
