There are 76 restaurants in New York City which have earned at least one coveted star in the 2020 Michelin Guide. This winter's NYC Restaurant Week has 366 participating restaurants. Here is where those lists intersect.
There are seven restaurants that appear on both lists, with five of them earning 1 Michelin star, and two earning 2-stars… sort of.

2 Star Michelin Restaurants
Nougatine at Jean-Georges, American New, Manhattan, Upper West Side
Though technically not 2 stars, Nougatine at Jean-Georges does offer much of the same tasting menu as its 2-star Jean-Georges restaurant, and is located adjacent the restaurant.
Perhaps the best way to sample dishes from one of world-famous chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s menus without breaking the bank is by dining at Nougatine, an overlooked gem on the Upper West Side. Attached to Jean-Georges in Trump Tower, Nougatine offers a three-course lunch of fresh, dramatically inventive French food six days a week for less than $25.
The Bar Room at The Modern, American (New), Midtown, Manhattan
The Bar Room at The Modern is another restaurant that has a casual variant to its 2-star sibling restaurant and offers much of the same menu.
Founded by Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, The Modern is a Michelin-starred contemporary American restaurant at the Museum of Modern Art. The lively Bar Room offers chef Abram Bissell's seasonal contemporary cooking à la carte, along with an award-winning wine program along with carefully curated cocktails, beer and spirits. Guests have the option of sitting in The Bar Room, the adjacent lounge, or at the vibrant 24-seat marble bar.

Tuome, American (New), Asian Fusion, Manhattan, Alphabet City
Tuome is a contemporary American and Asian-fusion restaurant in a small Alphabet City location that is filled with reclaimed, local materials.
Tuome is a critically acclaimed East Village restaurant by chef/owner Thomas Chen, whose ingredient-driven contemporary American menu showcases his classic culinary training with Asian influences. The menu features items like octopus with pork XO sauce; chicken liver mousse with New York maple; and crispy deviled eggs with chili; and larger dishes like chicken porridge with basil sauce, and fan favorite, Pig Out for two (Berkshire pork, spicy peanut noodle and condiments), along with sides like sticky rice with duck fat. Evoking the East Village's relaxed character, the intimate space showcases rustic reclaimed materials given a modern update.
Of course, there are many more great restaurants participating in this summer's NYC Restaurant Week and they shouldn't be overlooked, but these nine above have been awarded at least one Michelin star and are offering discounted fares, so definitely check them out by making a reservation sooner rather than later!
