    January 12, 2017 - By 

    Bugatti has always been a game changer ever since its conception in 1909, and the recent unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show displays exactly how far that concept goes at the Bugatti headquarters.

Originally a 19th century stable for the Vanderbilt family and then a balconied movie theater, TAO New York was transformed into a majestic Asian “temple”, where the menu is infused with its Chinese/Pacific inspiration.
