The Big Apple might be most famously associated with hot dogs, bagels and big slices of pizza, but the city’s fine dining scene has grown into one of the most impressive in the world. The Michelin inspectors eat their way through thousands of New York’s hottest spots throughout the year, and a total of seventy-four restaurants currently hold a Michelin star – incredibly impressive for just one (albeit sprawling) city.

2016 saw one new two-star and ten one-star restaurants make the list. The Modern, owned by legendary chef Danny Meyer, gained its second star to much fanfare, while notable new entries on the one star list include Semilla, a restaurant where the vegetables take centre stage and fish or meat is in a supporting role. The six three-starred restaurants continue to keep their coveted crown, with Eleven Madison Park and Per Se still attracting diners from all over the world.
