Jean Georges - 4 Star Restaurant - View this location on map Since 1997, when Jean Georges opened, Jean-Georges Vongerichten's empire has grown exponentially. It's now 16 restaurants worldwide and counting. But the attributes that made Jean Georges so special back then: the cleaner take on French cooking; the focus on aromas; the world's worth of herbs and spices, the calibration of sweetness, tartness and heat, all make it special still. And it remains the most accessibly elegant of New York's premier French restaurants says Frank Bruni of the New York Times.
