Park Slope Restaurant Gets Michelin Nod For Best Cheap Eats

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — The same reviewers that dole out the highly-coveted Michelin stars have given a Park Slope restaurant a distinction as one of the best cheap eat spots in New York City.

Haeyneo, the new Korean hot spot on Fifth Avenue, was one of 29 New York spots that were added to the list of Bib Gourmand awards, or those with "affordable and remarkable dining experiences." The New York additions include the Big Apple and Westchester.

In all, 133 New York City spots are on the list of best cheap eats, which first started in 1997.

"Bib Gourmand restaurants offer a full menu of a starter, main course and dessert, making it possible to order two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for around $40 or less," Michelin wrote. "The diversity of cuisine in New York City is reflected by 34 cuisine types in the Bib Gourmand category, including Balkan, Korean and Sri Lankan."

The popular new restaurant stood out to reviewers for its "bright and delightfully creative Korean home cooking." The eatery was opened late last year at 239 Fifth Ave., on the corner of Carroll Street, by chef Jenny Kwak.

The Michelin reviewers also recognized Maison Yaki on Vanderbilt Avenue as a Park Slope restaurant that got one of the distinctions, though the eatery is actually over the border in Prospect Heights.

The other Brooklyn spots on the list included a Sunset Park Chinese restaurant on Seventh Avenue, three Williamsburg eateries — Taiwanese restaurant Win Son, Hoxton hotel's Klein's and Ammazzacaffe's pasta-focused spot — and Downtown Brooklyn's Saint Julivert Fisherie.

The 29 new cheap eats also included eight Manhattan restaurants, three from Queens, one from Staten Island, one from the Bronx and several more from towns in Westchester.
