The new edition of the Michelin guide to NYC restaurants hits shelves next week, but the highly-regarded dining roundup has already released their "Bib Gourmand" selections (facebook). Though most of the restaurants that get a star from the exacting Michelin inspectors are pricey fine dining establishments, the Bib Gourmand group consists of 95 places serving two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included). The envelope, please:

We're glad to see Fatty 'Cue on there, and also a little surprised with the addition of Neapolitan pizza restaurant Paulie Gee's. We've tried hard to like that place, but on both visits our pies came out with crust so burned it overpowered all the other flavors. Not to talk trash, but it's crazy Paulie Gee's is on the list and not Roberta's, which serves superior pizza and a more expansive menu.
