Bibendum rolls into town next Tuesday to dole out 2014’s Michelin stars to the city’s restaurants, but first, here are the guide’s Bib Gourmand picks for 2014. The 138 restaurants here are unstarred establishments across five boroughs representing “good value,” meaning each is up to the discerning standards of the guide’s undercover inspectors, but also, each offers “two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less.” It’s a little jarring to see Perry Street, Cedric Vongerichten’s fine-dining restaurant on the West Side, juxtaposed with the more affordable Alobar, but the Michelin men famously move in mysterious ways. Just like last year, there’s plenty of pizza to be found all over the city — some ramen and pastrami, thankfully, too. The full list, straight ahead.
