New York is the mecca of all things – fashion, finance, but above all, food. In no other place in the world can you find such a diverse offering of different national, and even regional cuisines. We owe this to the immigrant communities that have made and continue to make New York their home. Together they have helped to build a distinctive New York cuisine.
