The ubiquitous food cart is seen on every corner in NYC. You've seen them, most likely you've smelled them, the long queues of people waiting for a greasy handful of mystery meat. Or a Sabrett's. Or a Poland Spring. Anyway, some of the food is actually pretty good, not just a 'I shouldn't have eaten that' snack before lunch. Here are some of NYC's best competing for the best Vendor Award.

You don't need reservations or deep pockets to chow down on some of the best food in New York City.

Any number of culinary wonders can be found from street-corner vendors, who serve up unexpected ethnic meals from tiny metal trailers on the cheap.

Best New York Restaurants: Michelin Gives 3 Stars To Alain Ducasse at the Essex House, Jean Georges, Le Bernardin and Per Se

For the first time ever, the illustrius and oft maligned Michelin Guide has turned its attention to the States. And despite the recent Conde Nast poll naming San Francisco the top destination in the country, decided to rate New York restaurants. Oh well, what can you do. The N ew York Times reported today on the winners:

Alain Ducasse at the Essex House, Jean Georges, Le Bernardin and Per Se each received three stars, the top ranking, and four restaurants received two stars: Daniel, Masa, Bouley and Danube.

Michelin surveyed 507 New York restaurants in all five boroughs for the New York guide, which will go on sale Friday for $16.95. The 39 restaurants that won stars are fewer than half as many as have stars in Paris, which has 10 three-star restaurants among the 580 places listed in the guide. London has a total of 34 restaurants with stars, with only one, Gordon Ramsay, earning three stars.

Lets hope nobody commits suicide over the results.
