It’s hard to put into words how special it is when a food marketplace pops up in New York City. It’s even harder to do when the creators of that marketplace come from an incredible lifestyle brand (that’s in collaboration with arguably one of the world’s most famous chefs, Jean Georges Vongerichten) whose overall eye for home and lifestyle curation is basically unparalleled. That brand is ABC Carpet and Home, and that new food culture endeavor is abcmkt (or as we like to call it, heaven on Broadway).
How do you encapsulate the different aspects of lifestyle this market has to offer? We’ve summed it up in three words: Eat, Play, Live. Your abode, your whimsy, your inspiration and your sustenance all packed into three delicious days in which we’ll celebrate this new market. Being a food-focused site, we’re of course starting with EAT; did you expect anything different?
Those looking to create a chef’s kitchen, look no further. ABC has added the market to their space seamlessly: The new lower level paradise is a bevy of products from the very best purveyors – both edible and visually edible. We of course love ABC’s endeavor to highlight (and increase) the presence of the kitchen in one’s home. But let’s move away from the physical kitchen, because you curate what you eat just as carefully as you curate your dream kitchen!
The purveyors speak for themselves (and it’s all about slow and local of course). The absolute best food sources abound in this market, with things like cocktail syrups from a Brooklyn based couple (Royal Rose Syrups), Emmy’s Pickles & Jams, the very best dough from Baia Pastas, simple syrups from Morris Kitchen, organic chocolate from Twenty-four blackbirds, handcraftcast iron pans from Borough furnace, hand-foraged deliciousness from Wineforest Wild Foods, Locally crafted, artisanal salt from Amagansett Sea Salt, and cold-pressed, organic olive oil from McEvoy Ranch. Is your mouth watering yet? That’s only the half of it…literally…there are many more delights for you to choose from. Don’t make us do it for you. EAT!
