The most awaited guide in the NYC culinary world, from the people who put rubber on your whip

Well the Michelin guide is out. Bums just stop reading this now you cannot (or choose not to ) afford any of the good places in this book. For those that don't know Michelin is the famously selective restaurant guide which rates restaurants on a three star system, with three standing for a restaurant that goes above and far beyond the call of duty, using imaginative or extremely high quality ingredients, preparing distinctive delicious dishes, and having excellent service and atmosphere. Only five restaurants in all of NYC gained this rating, while six gained the two star rating, and several dozen received the one star rating. I of course being someone with a normal income have only been to some of these fantastic places, including three of the three star restaurants (I'm the same kid who makes you give him his pizza crust after you finished the slice). Of course the guide is totally unconcerned with price, which kinda pisses me off. Price is often (but not always) reflective of the value a restaurant places on its food. Some of these restaurants charge way to much for what they serve. Of the three three star restaurants I've been too only one, Daniel, I felt justified its price tag. The food I got at Per Se ( a three star restaurant) was better then the food I got at Dressler (a one star restaurant), but it wasn't 200$s better. But whatever, chances are if you pick this thing up to plan your nights dinner your either going out for a special occasion or your the kinda kid who takes cabs everywhere.
