New Yorkers are paying $50 for a single mozzarella stick — with one posh addition
NY Post
Champagne wishes may remain but caviar dreams have become a reality for many New Yorkers.
After years of gold flakes and truffles, caviar is the latest popular pricey add-on.
A $50 mozzarella stick topped with caviar served at Chelsea Living Room is the latest buzzy concoction with the salty spread, and people are ordering it nonstop at the newly opened hotspot.
Once considered a delicacy, caviar has become a common addition to regular menu items in Manhattan, making an appearance on everything from $30 chicken nuggets at Coqodac to $58 tater tots at Union Square Cafe.
An ounce of caviar costs around $100 on average, so Chelsea Living Room’s mozz stick is a way to make the delicacy more accessible.
“We want people to be able to try it and enjoy it, without breaking the bank,” owner Dylan Grace told The Post.
