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
