Just when it seemed like Michelin had served as many seconds, thirds and leftovers as it could in advance of its 2023 star ceremony, the hospitality kingmaker—that some find incongruous for also making tires, even though that’s just good business, bebe—today released its annual list of Bib Gourmand restaurants. Eleven were newly anointed in New York City.
The Bibs aim to spotlight high-quality to value venues. Rather than the expensive multi-course destinations that some still associate with the legacy ranker, outdated as those narrow assumptions may be, the BGs are reserved for spots where consumers can expect to spend about $50 on two courses and a glass of wine or dessert, pre-tax and tip, so, in NYC it’s closer to $65, all in.
This year’s Bib Gourmand honorees might sound familiar from the incremental guide additions Michelin makes throughout the year, most recently three weeks ago, preceded by updates in September, May and January. Though this isn’t always or necessarily the case, each of BGs previously appeared on one of those lists. See every Bib Gourmand recipient in NYC for 2023 and how Time Out has covered them below. Michelin’s star ceremony is scheduled for November 7th in Manhattan.
