The MICHELIN Guide has revealed its 2025 Northeast Cities selection, marking a defining moment for one of the country’s most dynamic culinary regions. For the first time, Boston and Philadelphia join the prestigious Guide alongside New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., cementing the Northeast as a powerhouse of innovation, tradition, and global influence.

Presented in Philadelphia, the announcement reflects not only the exceptional breadth of excellence across five major metropolitan dining scenes, but also the Guide’s growing commitment to championing the artistry, cultural expression, and technical mastery that shape American gastronomy today.

Across the city, Joo Ok earns Two MICHELIN Stars, affirming the profound impact of Korean fine dining in New York’s modern culinary narrative.

Chicago celebrates a significant milestone as Kasama earns Two MICHELIN Stars, further solidifying its status as one of the country’s most exciting Filipino restaurants.
