NEW YORK, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- For serious
foodies mapping out their next Michelin-rated dining experience,
Michelin has created a new series of premium maps to quickly
find the top-rated restaurants listed in the latest
editions of the U.S. MICHELIN Guides.
The first in the series of this collection, the "New York City
Map of Great Places to Eat 2015," goes on sale today, and versions
for San Francisco and Chicago will be launched the second week of
January 2015. The price is
$9.95 for each map.
"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 travelers and tourists the quickest route plus vital tips
and information to 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 Michelin's Bib Gourmand and
Michelin-starred restaurants in all five of the city's
boroughs. Diners can choose restaurants based on cuisine,
price, neighborhood, even ambiance and comfort levels. The
map also includes street addresses, cross streets and the nearest
suggested subway stops. Most importantly, all the restaurants
on the map have been visited by Michelin's famously-anonymous food
inspectors. Designed to be durable, the product is laminated with
an accordion-fold making it convenient to use and carry.
The 126 New York City Bib Gourmand restaurants in the map are
selected by Michelin inspectors and serve two courses and a glass
of wine or dessert for $40 or less
(tax and gratuity not included). They are often the restaurants
that the inspectors frequent themselves. Of course, this year's 73
Michelin-starred restaurants in New York
City represent culinary excellence, being judged for the
food on the plate, the quality of the products, mastery of flavor
and cooking, personality of the cuisine and overall
consistency.
