Not surprisingly, Per Se, Le Bernardin and Jean Georges each kept their three Michelin stars in the just released New York City guide (October 10, $16.95). New Manhattan star holders include Blue Hill, Anthos, and L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon (in the Four Seasons), each with one star, and Gordon Ramsay at The London with two stars.

In addition, two new Michelin Guides to U.S. destinations go on sale this fall—Los Angeles (November 14, $14.95) and Las Vegas (November 16, $12.95). The updated San Francisco guide will be available soon (October 24, $16.95). The Michelins differ from the more populist Zagat series because inclusion and ratings of restaurants and hotels are decided by professional inspectors who visit the sites anonymously. We’ll be watching to see who—if anyone—gets the coveted Michelin stars and how many they get!
