I want them to see it.

I want them to ask me about the stories of everything.

And then I want them to think about what they're going to contribute to it the next time.

We've had some amazing nights back there and some incredible moments.

And just, it's been a really special space.

And I think that's been the cool thing where we've been

just fortunate to feel every single night whether you're having dinner with 72 other people in our restaurant or 20 other people in a private dining room of them or in a room that no one even knows exists or on an island three months of the year four nights of the week

where people just can't even imagine someone having dinner looking at the Statue of Liberty and it all being cooked on a wood fire.

How many creative and cool locations can we create for people to have memorable moments?

And it could be things people can book.

It could be things people don't even know.

But I think that excites us to think about how many ways we can do that.

I think it's been fun feeling what's working and not afraid to admit when something doesn't and to study both of those feelings.

And when you know you've got something that feels right, how do you replicate that feeling, not just the outcome?

So the bagel example, I didn't tell my partner, Will, make a bagel.

I didn't tell Will to make a white pizza and where you would squeeze lemon on it.

That became the most popular pizza in New York City.

I didn't say that's what I want.

It was knowing that I had someone...

who was extremely talented and feeling like he was in a zone of finding his true self and saying, we have an event in a couple days.
