Restaurant, bakery & a mark of good taste

Mark’s Off Madison, or M.O.M., located just off the corner of Madison Avenue and 26th Street in NYC, is the latest restaurant from acclaimed Chef Mark Strausman. M.O.M. is the culmination of Mark’s career, the place where he combines, in a way that is quintessentially New York, all the culinary strands of his career – the classical European and rustic Italian dishes of his training – along with elevated versions of the traditional Jewish foods of his upbringing in New York City.

On the menu at M.O.M. you’ll find all of Mark’s “greatest hits” — the viral Lasagne della Nonna, the entrée salads (first made famous at Freds at Barneys New York), and much-loved cones of Belgian fries. We’re also a bakery, with all breads and pastries baked in house, including two types of sourdough, our own brand of Jewish deli rye, the best challah (so good icon Zabar’s sells it on Fridays!), and, best of all, our Straussie’s bagels and bialys, made by hand the old-fashioned way.
