NIGHTLIGHT: THE NEW YORK LANDMARKS CONSERVANCY PRESENTS 2012 LIVING LANDMARKS CELEBRATION NOVEMBER 8, 2012 JAMES L. NEDERLANDER'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH PART TWO Our Coverage Sponsored by Table D'Hote

Led by Executive Chef and Owner Bill Knapp, Table D'Hote is among the most elite and coveted culinary destinations of Manhattan's prestigious Upper East side. Reminiscent of a French countryside in ambiance paired with locally sourced ingredients that entice guests to return again and again, Table D'Hote is truly an undiscovered gem to those that have not yet started to frequent this venue. Bill graduated from The Culinary Institute of America in 1994 and has worked at several established restaurants in New York City including The "21" Club, Patroon, and Bryant Park Grill, before making his way to Danny Meyers and Tom Colicchio's famed Gramercy Tavern. In the fall of 2003, Bill accepted the position of Chef de Cuisine at Tom Colicchio's Craft Restaurant and later joined the team at Taste Catering on New York's West Side. After a few years, he was sought after to take the position as Executive Banquet Chef at The Loeb Central Park Boathouse. All of this culinary expertise evolved through each of these experiences truly shines at Table D'Hote, Bill's own creation today, coming up on its one-year anniversary. On September 9th, 2011, Bill re-opened Table d'Hote in New York City, at 44 East 92nd Street, a well-respected establishment opened and operated since 1978 by two fabulous people, Vivek Bandhu and Lauri Gibson. Whether you are indulging in the crabcakes, grass-fed steak or the decadent desserts (the blueberry peach tarte is divine!), Table D'Hote boasts a menu that includes the finest delights to please everyone. By executing great dishes with a seasonally inspired menu and maintaining a subtle ambiance, Bill impresses all that travel from near and far with his extensive diverse New York experience, creative approaches, desire, and passion to sourcing only the best ingredients available to culminate in a truly unparalleled dining experience.
