How do you know you’re really in the thick of Fall?
A November election, the end of daylight saving time (fall back!) and the arrival of a new Michelin Guide to New York City restaurants are excellent bellwethers.
Michelin’s red-coated 2019 edition landed yesterday, Election Day 2018. We eagerly scoured it online to see how the city’s hotel restaurants fared. With three categories of stars encompassing 76 restaurants, six were at hotels. That’s nice, but hardly news.

This summer’s magic numbers are $25 (lunch) and $38 (dinner). More than 360 restaurants are on board including 43 at hotels, a record by our reckoning. Read more
Dig in.
