Greenpoint now has two Michelin-starred restaurants. Restaurant Yuu (55 Nassau Ave.) joins Oxomoco (128 Greenpoint Ave.) in the Michelin Guide with one star each.
Restaurant Yuu, a sophisticated French spot from Executive Chef Yuu Shimano, opened earlier this year in May and quickly gained recognition, being able to make the Michelin Guide in only a matter of months.

Why your support matters
Where do you begin with the jokes re these restaurants. The new one in Greenpoint has a waiting list, big bucks to go in and the chef pretty much tells you, you don’t know what good food is and they will cook for you.
My type of place.
These Michelin stars are not to be trusted…Four Horseman is the most overrated restaurant in Williamsburg. That said, Francie and Oxomoco are awesome.
