51st Bakery & Cafe sources the best ingredients for breakfast, lunch and Supper Club. Their cured meats and cheeses are from Murrays Cheese, bread and pastries from Balthazar, and their coffee roasters are Devocion Coffee from nearby Williamsburg, Brooklyn as well as a good selection of wines from local distributors.
The chocolate chip cookie may be the best in New York City.
