Oct. 24, 2017 By Nathaly Pesantez

Four restaurants in Greenpoint and seven in Williamsburg were awarded Michelin’s Bib Gourmand award yesterday, which highlights restaurants that offer “a great meal for a good value.”

Paulie Gee’s, the wood-fire pizza restaurant on Greenpoint Avenue, was awarded once again, along with the Middle Eastern Glasserie on Commercial Street. Achilles Heel, the gastropub on West Street, also made the list once more.

21 Greenpoint, the New American restaurant on Greenpoint Avenue run by Homer Murray, son of actor Bill Murray, was a newcomer to the 2018 list. Social media accounts for 21 Greenpoint and Paulie Gee’s exchanged pleasantries on Instagram at the news.

All seven Williamsburg restaurants are returning to the list of 127 establishments chosen by Michelin inspectors: Egg, Kings County Imperial, Llama Inn, Rider, Rye, Shalom Japan, and Xixa.

The Bib Gourmand awards are given out each year, and are handed to restaurants where diners can enjoy two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less.

“Michelin inspectors have been eating their way around New York’s five boroughs for more than 13 years and every year they are inspired by the inventiveness and imagination of the city’s chefs,” said Michael Ellis, international director of the Michelin Guide, in a statement. “From Flushing to the Bronx, the Bib Gourmand restaurants represent 127 establishments where diners can enjoy quality ingredients, quality cooking and fair prices.”

The 2018 list of Michelin-starred restaurants for New York City will be released on Oct. 30.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
