Andaz Wall Street Hotel to Launch Farmers’ Market

It’s no secret that hotel restaurants have been stepping up their game lately. But the recently opened Andaz Wall Street hopes to upstage the competition with the first-ever hotel-sponsored farmers’ market.

The Andaz Wall Street’s farmers’ market will debut July 10 and return every Saturday through November 20. Participating vendors are all suppliers to the hotel, and Wall & Water restaurant’s executive chef, Maximo Lopez May, will offer monthly cooking classes using their ingredients. It’s a boon for such local farms and purveyors as Migliorelli Farm, Quattro’s Poultry & Game Farm, and Beth’s Farm Kitchen. But somehow doesn’t make up for more independently spirited food markets closing.
