It's Michelin season, just in time for summer travel. Last month, the Michelin Guide added 19 new restaurants to its California guide, all in the San Francisco Bay Area. Actual stars are yet to be revealed there, but the additions hint at what's to come. Meanwhile, in Florida, Michelin inspectors added four new one-star spots to that city's guide, all in Miami. In New York, 17 additional restaurants were announced, and in Philadelphia, which has never been recognized with Michelin stars, a new Michelin Green Guide was issued, featuring can’t-miss destinations such as tourist sites, parks, restaurants, and hotels. The guides are worth a look if you're traveling this summer.

Restaurant guests are still adjusting to the fees, but it's generally understood that if your bill includes a service fee, additional tips are completely optional.
