There’s a bunch of spinoffs in the mix: East Village Vietnamese restaurant Bánh Anh Em, from the team behind Upper West Side’s Bánh Vietnamese Shop House; West Village Spanish restaurant Bartolo (currently recommended in the guide), from Basque spot Ernesto on the Lower East Side; and Williamsburg Southern-leaning restaurant and bar Rose Marie, from Tex-Mex destination and Bib Gourmand-awarded Yellow Rose in the East Village.
For high-end Japanese dining, there’s the very recently opened tasting menu restaurant Muku, which took over the Sushi Ichimura space in Tribeca, that’s now focusing on a kaiseki approach. Then there’s omakase restaurant Sushi Akira on the Upper East Side by chef and owner Nikki Zheng and kaiseki restaurant Yamada by chef Isao Yamada in Chinatown.
Other pan-Asian inclusions are high-end Times Square Korean steakhouse Gui from chef Sungchul Shim; Chinatown’s Chinese American wine bar Lei from Annie Shi with chef Patty Lee; and Cantonese and Chinese American restaurant Sal Tang’s in Cobble Hill.
And then finally, Chelsea restaurant Markette with a European menu full of Caribbean touches (which opened as Haymarket in June, but changed its name in August) from chef India Doris.
The full-on 2025 Michelin Guide — with stars, Bib Gourmands, and other designations — will be announced for New York City and other Northeast regions (including first-time ones for Philadelphia and Boston) on Tuesday, November 18.
