Michelin launches new quick reference version of the guide

The Staff Canteen

Michelin USA has launched a new series of premium maps for the cities they cover, in order to allow diners to quickly find the top-rated restaurants.

The first map in the series, the "New York City Map of Great Places to Eat 2015," goes on sale today for $9.95 (£6.33), and versions for the other two American cities covered by the guides, San Francisco and Chicago, will be launched in the second week of January 2015. "Consider this new map a shortcut to the shortlist of Michelin-recommended restaurants," said Alice Searcy, director of marketing for Michelin Travel and Lifestyle in North America. "This product is designed to give busy residents, business travellers and tourists the quickest route plus vital tips and information on New York City's best restaurants. For the

culinary enthusiast, it is one more great resource."

The map for New York City uses an A-to-Z index to list the area’s Bib Gourmand and Michelin-starred restaurants in all five of the city's boroughs. The 126 Bib Gourmand restaurants have been selected by Michelin inspectors as the best restaurants that serve two courses and glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less. They are often the restaurants the inspectors frequent themselves. The 73 Michelin-starred restaurants, meanwhile, represent culinary excellence, and have been being judged for the food on the plate, the quality of the products, mastery of flavour and cooking, personality of the cuisine and overall consistency. The map also includes street addresses, cross streets and the nearest suggested subway stops.

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
