\n\tAccolades were on the menu for some of the country\u2019s best restaurants last night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Michelin<\/a> Guide announced the 2025 selection for the Northeast Cities at a ceremony in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, adding that Boston and Philadelphia would be covered in the regional guide for the first time, alongside existing metropolises Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C. The selection includes 664 restaurants, with the famous stars reserved for establishments serving exceptional cuisine and the green star awarded to venues that \u200b\u200bpush the boundaries of gastronomy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOf the New York restaurants, chef Keiji Nakazawa\u2019s omakase-centric<\/a> Sushi Sho was promoted to three stars. \u201cIn the shadow of the New York Public Library, chef Keiji Nakazawa exemplifies mastery of the highest order,\u201d the Michelin inspector notes. \u201cHis omakase is utterly unique.\u201d Chef Shin Chang-ho\u2019s buzzy Korean restaurant Joo Ok<\/a> jumped from one to two stars. Exciting newcomer Muku<\/a> and Top Chef alum Buddha Lo\u2019s Huso<\/a> were awarded one star, along with Chinatown hotspot Bridges and kaiseki joint Yamada.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Chicago, Tim Flores and Genie Kwon\u2019s<\/a> Filipino-American favorite Kasama was upgraded to two stars, while fancy farm-to-table eatery Feld earned one star and a green star. Over in Boston, chef\u00a0 Wei Fa Chen\u2019s Three 1 One received the city\u2019s first and only star. Philly had a total of four honorees, with Friday Saturday Sunday<\/a>, Her Place Supper Club, and Provenance receiving one star and Pietramala gaining a green star. No new restaurants were announced at any star level in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are thrilled to celebrate the first-ever selections in both Boston and Philadelphia and welcome several new restaurants into the Michelin star<\/a> family,\u201d Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Michelin Guide, said at last night\u2019s ceremony. \u201cOur anonymous inspectors were able to witness and taste the passion these industry professionals brought to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNot everyone will be celebrating Michelin\u2019s recent changes, though. Last week, Alinea<\/a> in Chicago, Masa in New York, and the Inn at Little Washington in D.C. were demoted from three stars<\/a> to two. Alinea and Masa earned three stars in 2009 and 2010, respectively, maintaining Michelin\u2019s highest honor for well over a decade. The Inn at Little Washington<\/a> scored top honors in 2018, becoming the inaugural three-star restaurant in D.C.\u00a0Michelin said in a statement that \u201cthe inspectors look forward to revisiting Alinea, The Inn at Little Washington, and Masa, and ascertaining any evolution for future selections.\u201d <\/p>\n
