Northeast Roadshow: Venue and Chef Spotlight Stop #1 – The James NoMad and Eleven Madison Park, NYC

Retreats Resources is taking the show on the road to the Northeast for the first time ever!! And while we usually take this space to help familiarize you with the venues we chose, in this particular upcoming series we also want to introduce you to the Chefs we have partnered with for each event! We call them “Chefs with Heart”, and we think you will see why. Let’s start with a little background on our first stop on the Northeast Roadshow: The James NoMad and Eleven Madison Park, New York

Located on 29th St and Madison Ave, The James NoMad is a 337-room luxury hotel with the feel of an urban oasis. The hustle and bustle of the city melts away once you enter the richly decorated lobby, NoMad’s signature style, that turns into a wine bar at 5 pm. The hotel resides in the former Hotel Seville, a 12-story plus penthouse hotel that was built between 1901 and 1904, and comes with some colorful history as it was said to be where Harpo Marx worked as a bellhop. (His experiences there are said to have been incorporated in Marx Brothers skits.)

From The James we will move to Eleven Madison Park for our Chefs with Heart experience of the day.

Chef Daniel Humm, founder and proprietor of Eleven Madison Park, a three Michelin star restaurant, made the bold decision last year to transition his renowned restaurant to an entirely plant-based menu, citing climate change and sustainability as his rationale, and he says he has never been so inspired or creative!

He has been known to say he would risk everything for creative freedom. However, the change was welcomed by the restaurant’s patrons. In partnership with the philanthropy, Rethink Food, Chef Humm is dedicated to solving the problems of food waste in the restaurant industry, as well as tackling the needs of the food insecurity in NYC, via his innovative ” Eleven Madison Truck” food delivery service.

Come join us in New York City and see for yourself, from 10:00 am – 11:00 am in the Penthouse Suite of The James NoMad for our luxury destination showcase followed by cocktails and luncheon from 11:30 am – 1:30 pm at Eleven Madison Park, featuring Chef Daniel Humm.

We look forward to welcoming you to the James NoMad and Eleven Madison Park and New York on July 19th and the first stop on the inaugural Northeast Roadshow!
