New York has 19 new 2022 New York Michelin-Starred restaurants in Brooklyn and Manhattan, from a tiny tasting menu operation in Brooklyn Heights to pan-Asian with desserts in Midtown West. In total, 73 restaurants received Michelin Star status in the 2022 Michelin Guide New York. Michelin announced the list on October 07, 2022.
For the first time, the number of Michelin-starred restaurants went up to 73 from 68 last year. However, the Michelin Guide New York shows the lack of Black representation on its list in a city that is home to the world’s largest Black population of any city outside Africa. Only one of the awarded restaurants is located outside Manhattan—Clover Hill in Brooklyn Heights. Chef Charlie Mitchell owns the restaurant. He is the first Black chef to be awarded a Michelin star in New York.
The restaurant opened in 2019 but suffered starts and stops due to the pandemic. From Long Island, fluke ceviche jolted with lime zest and sweet melon to Peekytoe crab salad wrapped in corn gelée and set in a pool of warm, silky corn velouté, expect to find vibrant, seasonal eating that never once feels fussy or onerous.
“My initial inspiration for cooking came from my grandmother. She showed me how special cooking can be and how easily a good meal can change someone’s day. The time and effort she put into cooking for family and friends have always been impressive,” Mitchell told Michelin Guide.
