We know and you know that Bushwick and Ridgewood are incredible dining hubs and full of food from all over the world.
Last week, Michelin, an international dining guide, released its 2018 Bib Gourmand list, which features restaurants they serve high quality food while making it possible to order two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less, excluding tax and tip.
129 New York City restaurants made the list and 4 are local favorites. In a reflection of the city’s diversity, 50 cuisines will be featured in the New York Michelin Guide, which will be released November 6th.
