Lady M

In the past few weeks we've taken you to Lady M Upper East Side (the original!) and Lady M Los Angeles (our first West Coast boutique)... and today we're heading to Lady M at The Plaza Food Hall.

This is our second ever Lady M boutique, and it's inside the legendary Plaza Hotel. You can enter from the main hotel entrance (might as well take a grand tour of the hotel lobby while you're at it), or enter off West 58th Street or Central Park South if you're looking for a less crowded, more direct entrance. Either way, look for the escalators that take you downstairs to The Plaza Food Hall.

There's a treasure trove of treats here. Our favorite savory spots include Luke's Lobster, where we get the trio that includes three mini rolls, one each of lobster, crab, and shrimp. It's like a mini tasting of all their great hits. We love how the delicate buns are toasted just right and brushed with the barest bit of melted butter. It's a perfect prelude before you have a lot of cake :)

We also love the Broccoli Classic sandwich from No. 7 Sub (it's the wildest combination of super crisp roasted broccoli with feta and fried shallots... one of their best sellers and for good reason). And over at Épicerie Boulud, we love the Parisian Quiche, rich with gruyère and buttery leeks (make sure to ask them to heat it up for you) and the daily soup specials, always warm and soothing.

Whatever you do, make sure to save room for desserts!

The single must-get cake at this location? Chocolate-Banana Mille Crêpes. This cake is exclusive to our Plaza Food Hall boutique and it is dangerously delicious. Have it by the slice (or pre-order a whole cake to-go). The crêpe layers are made of chocolate crêpes and the pastry cream brushed between each crêpe is made of chocolate and bananas. It's like all your favorite childhood flavors come to life in one sophisticated cake.

There's ample seating located in the food hall so you can enjoy your slice right then and there. Or take it to Central Park right across the street. The Plaza Food Hall is truly a hidden (but always packed and bustling) gem. The location is super convenient with so many subway lines connecting here. And the plethora of food options make it an extra fun trip.

This boutique location showcases our complete collection of classic and seasonal cakes that you can find at all Lady M boutiques. It's tiny but it has everything. Be sure to come by; we look forward to welcoming you.

Till then,
Lady M
