Grant Achatz Teases a Month-Long Alinea Pop-Up in NYC This Fall

If you live in New York and missed the 21st Century Limited Alinea/Eleven Madison Park switcheroo, then your second chance to experience exploding chocolate balls is coming. Grant Achatz teased a month-long Alinea pop-up coming to Uptown Manhattan this October.

Said Grant in an interview to Fine Dining Lovers:

“We’re going to open Alinea in New York city for a very short amount of time, undetermined but likely a month, maybe more. It will be in Uptown Manhattan.
…
Let’s see how it works, let’s test the market, will New York like Alinea? It’s worked really well in Chicago but will it work in New York? This is very much a test…why not take it on the road? If we can open a restaurant in New York — imagine Tokyo, Paris, Singapore, London — just imagine the experiences my team could gain from this.”

Ugh, isn’t it just SO GRANT to make an Mrs. Achatz Show World Tour about the team?
