The centerpiece of the dining room at Eleven Madison Park features an abstract painting of Madison Square Park by Hungarian painter Rita Ackermann. In 2017, after being open for 11 years in its current landmarked location, Eleven Madison Park reopened after a thorough renovation.

Chef and owner Daniel Humm first started working at the restaurant in 2006, and, together with former business partner Will Guidara, he purchased the restaurant from famed New York restaurateur Danny Meyer in 2011. Today, Humm is the sole chef and owner of Make It Nice, the hospitality group behind Eleven Madison Park.

In 2021, Eleven Madison Park went fully vegan with its roughly 10-course tasting menu. Humm has said he was motivated to do a fully plant-based menu because “The current food system is simply not sustainable, in so many ways.” For spring 2023, expect to see this asparagus, rice, ginger, and nepitella course; what follows are a few more courses from this spring’s menu.
