From tasting‑menu titan to wood‑fired warmth

You step through the doors of Humm, and the first thing you smell is fire. Daniel Humm, long famed for the austere precision of Eleven Madison Park, has turned to something more elemental: a wood‑fired hearth that both anchors the kitchen and seasons the room with smoke and warmth . Gone are choreographed tasting menus; in comes an à la carte format built around seasonal, market‑driven ingredients from Magic Farms in Hoosick Falls, New York, a farm Humm helped establish in 2021 .

A personal restaurant forged from scratch

Humm is the first restaurant to carry Daniel Humm’s own name, and the first he has built entirely from the ground up—from scouting the space to choosing every designer and artist involved . Located at 435 Hudson Street, in the former En Japanese Brasserie space (closed December 2024), the venue spans roughly 7,731 square feet and was reimagined by Pierre Yovanovitch . Humm describes it as a sibling to Eleven Madison Park—a room of similar scale, but with a more relaxed spirit .
