Welcome to Eli Zabar
New York's Neighborhood Grocer
FATHER'S DAY
Dad needs a beer…
Why limit Father’s Day to just one day? Grab a New York State beer on tap with Dad at Eli’s Night Shift any day of the week, and savor the little things with him. He’ll thank you for introducing him to the Night Shift Burger, and what Time Out New York called "one of the best bars on the Upper East Side".
CATERING
what’s for lunch this week at the office?
We know that variety is the spice of life and that is extra true at lunch time. Think about a platter of sandwiches on Eli’s Bread, delivered to your office a couple of times a week. Think about some cold salads to go with them. Don’t just think about it, call the Catering Department at 212-423-0129 or log in on-line to order lunch for tomorrow.
SUMMER ESSENTIALS
Be the Best House Guest…
If you’re staying with friends this summer, don’t arrive empty handed. Follow Eli’s lead and stock their pantry with an Eli-approved collection of pristine ingredients, house-baked classics, and hand-selected sweet and savory essentials. EVO olive oil, coffee beans, French cheeses and fresh bread will make you a popular addition to any weekend get-a-way.
Have you visited elislist.com? The cozy sliver of a shop with the great big, old world wine cellar? We currently love their interesting suggestions for wines under $25.00. Excellent choices as we await the arrival of warmer weather. Their point of view is always consistent and engaging.
Eli’s Flowers
Eli’s Flower Power Team
This is a great time to be outdoors and the Eli’s flower power team, led by Sarah Wright, is right there with you – enthusiastic and knowledgeable, these women are ready to help you make summer one long garden party. Local blooms are one of the great pleasures of the season and this is where you’ll find them worked into bouquets for giving and gifting (and for spoiling yourself with, too!)
What's on Eli's Mind
I start saying “Spring is in the air…” on the first warm day in February and I keep it up till it comes true. A sort of fake-it-till-you-make-it season inducer. At this point any sign of the warmer weather ahead can thrill me—the tulips on Park Avenue about to bloom, asparagus and rhubarb in the produce department. The arrival of the first soft shell crabs. More opportunities to sit outside without a heater on overhead. We’ve had a couple of days when I’ve thought “…could this be the beginning of rosé season?” Well, if not today, then soon.
