Andaz Wall Street Farmers' Market
Thursdays 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
75 Wall Street
Beginning June 26th, every Thursday, Andaz Wall Street's hotel plaza will host its outdoor farmers' market. The farmers' market suppliers will also provide the hotel's outlets with fresh produce to be featured on all menus. From basil, beans and beets, to rosemary, rhubarb and rutabaga, the freshest batches will be presented each week by an array of rotating local farmers. For the 2014 season, the hotel's principle farmer will be David Zaback from Z Food Farms. Andaz Wall Street's Executive Sous Chef, Victor Cruz, along with the Hotel's Purchasing Manager, Joel Patraker, have been working together for nearly a year to revive the hotel's weekly Farmers' Market. The Andaz Wall Street Farmers' Market will continue through mid November.
