Date Night: Eleven Madison Park, New York City

eleven madison park

On a recent degustation trip to New York City, Eleven Madison Park was our favorite. They treated us like rock stars. We felt like high rollers P. Diddy and Lady Gaga all one. From the food to the service, Eleven Madison Park, you took our breaths away. Words hardly begin to describe this extraordinary dining experience so we'll leave you with this visual replay...
