Eleven Madison Park
Daniel Humm's three-star tasting-menu landmark on Madison Square Park, mostly plant-based but with meat and fish back on the menu since October 2025.
The call
Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
A soaring Art Deco room and a long, theatrical tasting menu that's still vegetable-forward but, since October 2025, lets you choose dishes built around fish and meat too.
Our read - 02
Electric for a once-in-a-lifetime, surrender-to-the-sequence dinner; wrong for anyone wanting a quick bite, à la carte freedom, or a low bill.
