"It’s quite a week in New York for Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the legendary French chef and empire builder. Tonight, Vongerichten adds the Fulton to his roster of 36 global restaurants, marking his first seafood-centric restaurant. Tomorrow night, he will also open Paris Café in the TWA Hotel at JFK International Airport. Both projects are transformations of iconic New York spots, the TWA restaurant a ’60s throwback, and the Fulton a renaissance of Pier 17 at Manhattan’s historic South Street Seaport, encompassing two levels and more than 100 seats, including an outdoor patio. The Paris Café will be “greatest hits,” but the Fulton, the chef says, “is all new.”" - Beth Landman
