Michelin’s 2024 rankings for New York, Chicago, and Washington highlight major shifts, with Jungsik in Tribeca becoming the first Korean restaurant in the U.S. to earn three stars, joining New York’s elite alongside Eleven Madison Park, Le Bernardin, Masa, and Per Se. New two-star recipients include César, Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare under new leadership, and Sushi Sho. Meanwhile, Restaurant Daniel lost a star, dropping to one. New York’s one-star additions include Nōksu, Café Boulud, Corima, and Joo Ok, among others, bringing the city's total starred restaurants to 74. The rankings reflect Michelin’s broader U.S. expansion efforts, though cities like Chicago and Washington saw slight declines in star counts, with notable demotions but also eco-friendly stars awarded for sustainable practices.
