Eleven Madison Park is one of New York City’s most popular fine-dining establishments, and one of only a handful to receive three Michelin stars and four stars from the New York Times. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Daniel Humm and General Manager Will Guidara since 2006, the restaurant has soared to new heights and has become one of the premier dining destinations in the world.
The Astronomer and I dined at Eleven Madison Park this past spring and had a beautiful time. Not only was the food and plating stunning, but the service was friendly yet polished. We can’t imagine a trip to New York without a meal here from this point forward. This place is a gem.
Eleven Madison Park: The Cookbook is a sumptuous tribute to the unforgettable experience of dining in the restaurant, where the latest culinary techniques are married with classical French cuisine. The book features more than 125 sophisticated recipes, arranged by season, adapted for the home cook, and accompanied by stunning full-color photographs by Francesco Tonelli.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to NYC, but my favorite was Nobu circa 2002.
Acrually I’d have to say EMP …went there this summer and was absolutely delighted as I rarely do fine dining. Loved that they ended the meal with egg creams. So perfect. 🙂
It’s comfort food… I love Peanut Butter & Company on Sullivan. It’s a great place to go with friends and have a delicious sandwich at lunch!
I don’t get to New York too often but I do like to go to Gotham Bar & Grill when I visit.
Liked you on FB too! Hope I win and thanks for putting this out!
So many to chose from! I’d say the most consistent/often returned to for me would be Becco.
My favorite restaurant is Roberta’s.
Mine would be The Meatball Shop!
KATZ DELI! drooling as I type….
The best one for us is Per Se
That would be Babbo.
Without having visited (yet) I’ve got to say WD50. Wiley D has inspired so many of the other modern restaurants.
I don’t go to NYC often but had a great meal at Craft years ago!
I always have to stop by Cafe Habana for their killer Mexican corn and I also love Momofuku for the pork belly buns!
awesome giveaway…has to be EMP, followed by del posto

I hope to eat at Eleven Madison Park one day! Until then, my best meal in NY so far has been at Locanda Verde.
I’ve got to go with Perilla, these days it’s a must-visit whenever I’m in New York.
I would love to tell you my favorite place in NYC..but never been there! Can’t wait to go someday. And I’m already a fan on fb! : )
I love Casa del Mofongo up in Washington Heights. Best Puerto Rican food in the city
Just followed you on twitter (handle: amandajpena)
I haven’t been to New York much, but I’d have to go with Momofuku Noodle Bar. Ramen and fried chicken! Mmm.
I’ve only been there once for business and didn’t get a chance to go out much, but I did get to go to Crumbs Bakeshop. Mmm, cupcakes 🙂
I live in New York and it has to be Peacefoods Cafe. Those brownies!!!!!
I can’t believe I wasn’t following you on Twitter before. That’s fixed now…
I’ve never been to New York but it’s definitely on my list of to-dos! I have heard sterling reviews of Momofuku… so that would definitely be one of the first restaurants that I hit up! Thanks for the chance to win this cookbook–French cuisine is in my top 5. 🙂
Don’t frequent New York enough to have a favorite, but I’d love to try La Sirene when I visit next time!
I haven’t been to New York in ages, but I would love to go to Momofuko~
Also, already a Twitter follower!
I have never been to New York, but hope to go some day and have some memorable meals.

I go to Woorijip every time I’m in New York. Can’t beat cheap and yummy Korean food.
My favorite restaurant in New York is La Sirene. A little french bistro on broadway.
Diner, which is technically NYC (even if it is in Brooklyn – I think).
Definitely Per Se!

Definitely Momofuku Ssam. I love their roasted pork shoulder!
my favorite hands down is eleven madison park! i ate there this past june and it was one of the best meals of my life so far. the service was friendly, food was delicious, and the granola that they gave as a takeaway gift was by far the best i have ever eaten. i’m not usually one to speak superlatives, but eleven madison was truly an amazing experience. i can’t wait to eat there again in the future =)
I’ve been loving the Mermaid Inn Oyster Bar – most consistent good food + service + oysters = true love.
My favorite NYC restaurant would probably have to be Via Quadronno for their amazing panini & coffee drinks!
following you on twitter! (@adultzwhim)
liked you on facebook too 🙂
My favourite NYC restaurant is Shake Shack! Can’t resist.
my last trip to nyc was almost 8 years ago and i remembered eating at balthazar restaurant and dugged the vibe there. that was pre fat-ass food blogging days. i should probably head back to the big apple one of these days….
OMG. I haven’t eaten in NYC enough, but I loved momofuku milk bar. I’m still holding out for a future meal at torrisi italian specialties.
Followed on twitter and facebook!

En Japanese Brasserie is my favorite restaurant!!1
Nobu!
Momofuku!
following you on twitter (appl3ch3rry)

I’ve loved Pastis since the first time I set foot inside 10 years ago. So many great memories there, and I will always remain loyal.
Didn’t know you had a Facebook page! Just liked xo
Grimaldi’s!
Joe’s Shanghai!
Sushi Yasuda!
Soo tough, I can’t choose but right now I’m craving Shakeshack.
I really like Asia de Cuba… but a close second has to be Joe’s Ginger in Chinatown!

Following you on Twitter @MakeupMorsels 🙂
gray’s papaya!
Momofuku’s!
Just got back from NYC this morning. Had an amazing experience at EMP. That has certainly moved to the top of my list.
Current favorite has to be Tom Colicchio’s Riverpark. Great service, beautiful restaurant and, of course, wonderful eats.
I’ve actually never been to New York. My girlfriend recognized Eleven Madison Park as the place from Sex and the City, and I would love to take her someday.
CO! Shake Shack was fun but I can’t say it’s my favorite.
Favorite NYC meal has got to be EMP! One of the most memorable dining experiences of my life and got to meet the chef! Unforgettable!
