Top Ten Restaurants in New York
9 of the 10 are pinned on the map above. Neither OpenStreetMap nor Wikidata carries a location for Sushi Sho, so it is listed below but not pinned — a missing pin is left missing rather than guessed at. Each row also links straight to its own location in Google Maps.
The MICHELIN Guide New York City covers New York State. Starred restaurants lead this list, and New York carries so many of them that the list never has to reach below two stars.

Why these ten
New York is the densest MICHELIN state in the country, so the first rung of the ladder fills half the page on its own and the second rung finishes it. The current selection was announced on 19 November 2025 at the MICHELIN Guide ceremony for the Northeast Cities, held in Philadelphia. It left five New York restaurants holding three stars. Sushi Sho was the only restaurant anywhere in the guide promoted to a third star that year, and in the same cycle Masa was cut from three stars to two, which is why a name that sat at the top of New York lists for two decades is missing here.
The two-star rung is ordered by the start of each restaurant's current unbroken run at that level, oldest first. That rule matters in New York because several two-star holders have interrupted histories. Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare held three stars from 2012 to 2022, dropped out of the selection entirely in 2023 and returned at two stars in 2024, so its current run starts later than all five listed above it. Masa's two-star run starts in 2025. The closest call is Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Tarrytown, which has held two stars since 2020 and is the only starred restaurant on this ladder outside the five boroughs; a 2020 run puts it just below Jean-Georges.
