History

Four stars, two Michelin, one elevator ride

Jean-Georges was never exactly a bar. It opened in 1997 to critical acclaim1. Its own site cites four stars from the New York Times and two from Michelin, and describes dishes that blend French, American and Asian influences1.

It's still at 1 Central Park West2, in a dining room by Thomas Juul-Hansen with lighting by L'Observatoire1. The hotel in the building bills it as a five-star restaurant just an elevator ride away, offering an unparalleled fine dining experience3.
