Michelin Stars Announced; Del Posto Doesn’t Get Two

Michelin has released its annual map of the stars (the new guide comes out tomorrow) and not a heck of a lot has changed in the dining constellation. The biggest (non-)story: Batali’s prediction that he’d get back the star he lost last year didn’t exactly come true. And Eleven Madison Park (another Times four-star) remains a Michelin one-star. Among the newcomers, the big surprise might just be Danny Brown Wine Bar & Kitchen in Forest Hills. Perry Street, Insieme, and Shalizar fell off the list, and Etats-Unis, Rhong Tiam, Veritas, and Eight One all closed. Here’s the list along with our annotations.
