While you may not be able to cook like an Eleven Madison Park chef, at the very least you can shop like one.
The 3-Michelin starred restaurant specializes in a certain level of unattainable, meticulously honed excellence when it comes to their menu, but their source for some of their most important flavors is a hole-in-the-wall landmark of a shop open to any and all, no matter their culinary experience level.
On the hunt for dried strawberries, black garlic or sweet potato orzo? Kalustyan’s is Eleven Madison Park's go-to local store for specialty ingredients from across the globe. First opening their doors back in 1944, the Kips Bay gourmet grocer is a staple supplier for restaurants across the city and secret favorite for aspiring home cooks and foodies.
What will you whip up?
