Story
Mark’s Off Madison, or M.O.M., located just off the corner of Madison Avenue and 26th Street in NYC, is a new restaurant from acclaimed Chef Mark Strausman, formerly of Freds at Barneys New York and Campagna restaurants. 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 the traditional Jewish foods of his upbringing in New York City.
M.O.M. is a restaurant and a bakery, so in addition to many of the “greatest hits,” of Mark's career, such as the fresh homemade pastas, entrée salads, and beloved Belgian fries, Mark is baking his own brand of Jewish deli rye, hot sheets of pizza bianca to rival the ones in Rome, and, best of all, his Straussie’s hand-rolled bagels and bialys.
