...edition of the Michelin Guide to New York City's restaurants and hotels hit bookstores Oct. 7 (updated Michelin guides to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas also go on sale this month). What's new: Four restaurants in New York have earned the coveted Michelin three-star rating - Masa, Jean Georges, Le Bernadin and Per Se. If they're a bit too rich for your pocketbook, don't fret: a quarter of the restaurant listings in the new guide fall in the affordable range.
