Even those who cringe at Hallmark holidays can find something to love this year about Valentine’s Day. With so much divisiveness in the world it’s a welcome relief to take some time and show our loved ones how much we care about them.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to start thinking about a gift for your loved one. But deciding on the perfect present can always be a little tricky.

At Marky's, we take immense pride in presenting an exceptional selection of premium caviar offerings. Two of our most sought-after choices, the "Private Stock" and "Special Selection" caviars, epitomize unparalleled refinement and exclusivity in the realm of gourmet delicacies.

In the vast waters of the Caspian, Black, and Azov seas, the majestic Beluga sturgeon, scientifically known as Huso huso, once thrived. Its pale flanks and substantial size marked it as the largest among sturgeon species and one of the largest bony fish globally. Unlike its relatives that scavenge, Beluga sturgeons are predators, preying on other fish for sustenance. They mature slowly, taking nearly two decades to reach reproductive age, and they spawn only every few years under optimal conditions. These ancient giants, capable of surpassing 20 feet in length and weighing up to 3,000 pounds, have faced endangerment due to habitat loss and intense overfishing for their prized caviar. By the mid-2000s, wild Beluga populations had plummeted by over 90%, leading to stringent international regulations on live specimens and their products.

Marky’s Caviar and HŪSO, the UES gourmet retailer and adjoining restaurant run by two-time Top Chef winner Buddha Lo, will take the L’Angolo space on Greenwich and Duane, with an anticipated opening date of December for the retail and early 2024 for the restaurant.
