Many guests ask about the story behind this painting in the Lounge at @LeBernardinNY.

In 1926, the grandfather of Maguy and Gilbert Le Coze—a fisherman in Port Navalo, France—was asked by tourist and artist Henry Bouvet to have his portrait painted. Originally hanging in Le Bernardin Paris, the portrait made its way to America for "good luck". Now across the sea in New York City, Grand père keeps watch over Le Bernardin.

Swipe to see Grand père throughout the years:

11:30 AM: @ericripert and Team Le Bernardin’s daily routine

We taste basic Swiss cheese—not bland, not too salty, and fairly neutral—to calibrate our palates. Then, we taste all sauces and preparations, never double dipping the same spoon and using biodegradable ones instead.

Barely Cooked Salmon; Peas and Fava Bean Medley, Sauce Vin Jaune

[Eric Ripert @ericripert]

There’s something almost mystical about the sauce station. At Le Bernardin, our sauciers make 30 sauces a day, twice a day, guided by taste and feel rather than precise measurements. Listen in on a meeting about the craft of the sauce station.

Harry’s Berries Strawberries, Tahitian Vanilla Chantilly

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

The Secret of My Laughter - A student asks His Holiness the Dalai Lama the secret behind his famous childlike laughter. His answer is disarmingly simple: a relaxed mind, no ego, and the understanding that we are all the same human beings. He explains how seeing yourself as "something special" creates stress and anxiety, while honesty, humility, and transparency are the true foundations of inner peace.
