Sense of Discovery

"All of these New York moments, their sights and sounds, their emotions, provide so much optimism and continue to feed the city's cultural imagination and regeneration. I have never felt so alive with a sense of discovery as I do here, never too sure of knowing what something tastes like. This is a city that teaches me about food, about people, about myself. And I experience the city each time I return like it's the first time."
Alain Ducasse, Alain Ducasse's New York

Resilient Spirit

"My first trip to New York, as a young chef, was in 1976. All these years... I can't say enough about this city--the diversity of people, contrast between modernity and history, and its countless alternatives. New York's resilient spirit continues to inspire me."
Alain Ducasse, Alain Ducasse's New York

Sense of Discovery

Dumbo

"New York encourages a sense of discovery—I'm never sure what I'm going to eat next or what it will taste like. It's an awe-inspiring place."
Alain Ducasse, Jetsetter
