Michelin says eaters at these venues can enjoy two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included).

The restaurants haven't been awarded Michelin stars, but are selected by the same anonymous food inspectors who dole out the highly coveted designations to New York City restaurants.
