Welcoming coffeehouse with handcrafted coffee, espresso & tea, plus breakfast, lunch & pastries.
Best Starbucks in the area. The coffee is consistently good here, which is surprisingly rare among Starbucks locations. I ordered the exact same drink at another nearby Starbucks when this store was closed, and it tasted completely different. In fact, it was so bad that it barely tasted like the same drink. The quality at this location is noticeably better. Also, the staff are nice and professional!

Casual counter-serve chain for build-your-own sandwiches & salads, with health-conscious options.
I stopped by around 11:00 or 11:15 at night on Thursday, June 11th. The Black guy working there was alone, occupied with his phone—on a video call and watching videos. I was there to pick up food and watched him make it; it’s incredible that for a turkey sandwich, he only put on three tiny slices. It’s a real shame they have employees like that without the owner seeing the kind of staff working in their shop. Go somewhere else to buy food—you’ll thank me for it.

One of my favorite coffee shops in the city! Drinks are amazing! I've gotten a different drink each time and have enjoyed each one! The staff is great, very kind, and you can tell that they really care about their customers! Also a good atmosphere to study or do work! I highly recommend this place!

Louisiana-inspired fast-food chain known for its crispy fried chicken, chicken sandwiches & fries.
It’s Popeyes. Basic fried chicken, nuggets, wings, shrimp, biscuit with fountain drinks and delicious sweet tea that any southerner would be pleased to drink. What stands out about this Popeyes is the customer service. They try very hard to meet the demands of the public even the rude ones. It’s very clean and again the employees aim to please. Today they reminded me of a sale which in NYC when it comes to food we’re always looking for a good buy. As a southerner I can assure you I have never be

Cool, streamlined sushi bar presenting chef-chosen courses with international flavors.
Sanyuu West is an omakase restaurant that offers a 15 course experience at a price point that is genuinely difficult to match in New York for what the kitchen delivers. The fish quality is the foundation and it holds up across every course. The ikura is notably clean without the fishiness that less carefully sourced versions carry. The fluke topped with its own fin is the kind of preparation that you do not encounter often in the city, but pairs well with the entire meal. The madai, hamachi, ka

This place is amazing! It’s a centrally located Irish pub. EASY access to all the trains. Easily the best Guinness draft pour on most trips to the city. The coolest thing is you use the QR code to order from any of a half dozen different restaurants and the food is delivered to you in the large, open bar. Look for Elizabeth. She’s efficient, helpful, creative and friendly. Wonderful venue, right next to the escalators to trains running in every direction. Give them a try! (It was clean, comforta

Trendy coffee shop serving artisanal coffees & pastries in a cozy, black-&-white establishment.
I walked in needing a quick coffee pick me up and a place to sit for a couple minutes. I came early enough that there were tables available, although it’s a small space. I ordered the iced latte with honey and a plain croissant. I didn’t come in with any prior knowledge and learned there’s no syrups or sweeteners available other than simple syrup or honey. I went with honey hoping it would sweeten my drink enough but it wasn’t the best for me. If you enjoy no frills coffee and plain espresso th

Was in town in May 2026 for a business meeting at 1 Penn. This restaurant is in the building. A great place for a quick business lunch. Wasn't disappointed. Good food, fast service and attentive. When here, likely a great place to dine. It also works for large crowds and reservations are required and recommended. Bar area seating is possible but the place was busy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stopped by Celtic Rail, an Irish pub in NYC — overall a solid experience. The atmosphere was average but comfortable, with a nice bar setup and plenty of seating inside if you're planning to sit and eat. They had a great selection of draught beers, though prices were a bit on the higher side — about $10 for a pint. Service was excellent; the bartender was quick, friendly, and kept things moving even during the busy hours. Didn’t try the food, so can’t comment on that. Parking can be

No-frills counter-serve spot specializing in authentic German sausages with curry sauce.
This spot serves authentic Berlin-style street food right in New York. The Knackwurst sausage is crispy on the outside and juicy inside, topped with a rich house-made tomato curry sauce and fragrant curry powder—classic German street food done right. Simple yet addictive, the balance of spices and savory sausage flavor keeps you coming back for more. Enjoying a hot sausage served on a paper tray in the industrial atmosphere of Chelsea Market feels like a perfect blend of New York and Berlin!

I had the most exceptional breakfast/brunch at Cafe Zaffri today where I surprised my bridesmaids with a proposal brunch. Juan and his team were incredible helpful, welcoming, and were so sweet in making sure everything was perfect for us. They gave us time to enjoy the beautiful space, helped us take photos to document this special time, and even were gracious enough to have some complimentary dessert for us to enjoy. I can't say enough good things about this place and all my girlfriends were

Customized salads, wraps & smoothies are the specialties of this counter-service chain.
Excellent salad, terrible layout. Instead of placing the menu boards along the walls where the long line of people forms, the menu boards are behind the counter past where they even take your order. Because of this, the line takes forever as people strain to read the menus when they finally get to the counter.

I wasn't expecting Bites to be anything like the better established, more lauded Xi'an Famous Foods. After all, there are numerous Xi'an-style eateries throughout NYC, and very few can compare. But if Famous Foods is the Iron Man of Xi'an cuisine, Bites is more like the Rusted Tin Man. We weren't super hungry, so we just shared the Spicy Hot Oil Seared Hand-Ripped Noodle (no meat) and the Roujamo with Lamb, both cuisine staples. The noodles were nice and chewy (no issues there), but they were d

What an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is elegant, vibrant, and perfect for a special night out with friends. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The oysters topped with fresh caviar were absolutely outstanding, and the wine selection complemented the meal perfectly.

I always have a great experience at Maman in Moynihan Train Hall on 34th Street. The staff is always fast, courteous, and welcoming, even during busy times. Service is consistently quick, which is so appreciated when you’re on the go, and they always make the experience pleasant. The drinks and food are always fresh and beautifully made. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the station!

In a neighborhood where there is more scaffolding than character, it is a joy to meet Beer Run. It stands out as a beacon of hope in this sordid wasteland. With beer ranging from a very reasonable $3.99 to a very reasonable $10, you'll be shocked by how reasonable the prices are. This is a sensible establishment for sensible people, on sensible wages. Granted, the bar may not have a kitchen, but, they have something even better: Tashkent Market (see attached photo). You think it can't get any

Petite, contemporary, colorful Japanese restaurant serving teriyakis, noodles, sushi & tempuras.
I got the rainbow roll and spicy salmon roll, to-go. Spent less than $15 for what I got and really happy!! Sushi was fresh and the cut was thick, the spicy roll had crunchy bits/tanuki. Hope they can improve the place though. Their lunch deal also looks good. Highly recommend for to-go.

This Shake Shack is conveniently located inside Penn Station, perfect for grabbing a bite before or after a train ride. I was returning to Penn via Amtrak, so I stopped by for some fries before heading home. Ordering on the tablets was easy and my fries were ready within a couple of minutes. Almost $5 feels overpriced for basic fries, but I guess they’re NY prices. It’s not a large space and can get pretty busy, but people don’t seem to stay for too long.

Eatery chain for seasonal & locally sourced American food made mostly with vegetables.
We ordered corporate lunch and the order came in express time. It got delivered to the spiral (Hudson yards) in thirty mins! we ordered at 11AM and submitted by 11:30AM and it was at our lobby at 12pm. That was fantastic.

This was my first time trying Naya and ordered a bowl for pick up. Was hoping to eat there but limited seating. Food was delicious. Braised beef was tender and ingredients felt fresh. The only thing that didn’t feel as fresh was the pita on the side. Staff were friendly and even offered a free drink for the wait. Will be going back again.

Stopped by before an appointment and can honestly say I had a great experience. The barista Daniel was very attentive and sweet. He also checked in with everyone and I appreciated how well he was at his job and keeps the standard consistent. Every time I come in the morning, it’s always been the same energy from said barista and it makes the stop worth it.

Dining at Ddobar was a delightful experience, elevated by warm hospitality and thoughtful service. The overall menu was well-executed, though the standout for me was the trio of Yubu Tarts, which offered a refined and elegant progression of flavors. 😋The Earl Grey ice cream was an inventive concept, yet the salt tended to overshadow the subtle yet prominent tea notes. The sake pairing recommended by the sous chef was exceptional and complemented the dishes beautifully, adding depth to the overa

Counter-serve chain offering Detroit-style pizza with flavored crusts, plus wings & subs.
I’m extremely frustrated. This has happened multiple times, but tonight was the last straw. There are two young women working the night shift, and almost every time I call, I’m told they’re “closed” yet the website says you’re open and the automated system is still taking phone orders. So which is it? Do you take orders or not? Because the machine clearly does. When I politely ask to confirm with a human, I’m met with attitude. In person, it’s the same energy boxes being tossed and customers t

I used the Taco Bell app to place an order. It seems like my GPS glitched because it picked the closest location, which was one in Queens that I had never been to before. It's like an hour away. I have no idea why this one was selected as the most nearby. I found out about this when I tried to pick up my order, but they told me they didn't get it. And when I checked, I saw it went to the completely wrong restaurant. I asked the staff what to do about it, and they said they can't do anything. I n

Food was super fast, I did order extra caesar for my wrap and they forgot to add it but I didn’t realize until I was already on my train. I didn’t expect the fried pickles to be like sweet pickles but they were still good. I prefer dill though. Overall, it was a good option to get before my train. Generous portion sizes.

Jay's Pizza is a solid, no-frills spot if you're looking for a a typical budget NYC-style slice. The pizza is decent-nothing over the top, but it hits the spot when you want something quick and classic. They've got good fountain soda, which is always a plus, and all the usual pizzeria staples like stuffed pinwheels, calzones, and garlic knots. There's also plenty of indoor seating, so it's easy to sit down and enjoy your food. Overall, a reliable neighborhood pizza spot.

It was just not a great texture and I wish I could have had it without the powdery bits cause I imagine it wouldn’t have made the experience what it was.

Nice place to relax and treat yourself for a spa day. It’s a little pricey but I think it would worth it if not all the extra charges they charge as a tip of20% plus tax on top of that. I came 30 min before to use their saunas one of them was not working and nobody let me know about that dry spa was still a little cold. So l missed all other treats I can enjoy for such a high price. No discount no extra treats. Facial cost me $300 for 60 min and I don’t think person who was taking care of me was

I got there early, so I sat at the bar. The bartender was amazing and pleasant. Once the group gathered, we were seated. When you are seated, you don't need to wait on tje waiters.

Fiftylan is a very famous Taiwanese drink shop. Today, I tried their Golden Bubble Milk Tea. The most unique part is that the pearls are yellow, although the texture is quite similar to regular tapioca pearls. They were very chewy and bouncy. It is not exactly my favorite type of texture, but the drink was still enjoyable overall, so I’d give it four stars.

We made reservations at Goldies for the Knicks home game. The location was jam packed as expected, and the staff did their best to be efficient during this madness. The servers were very professional, and despite the food wait time-- the drinks were strong and the game was enjoyed. I would absolutely book a reservation again at this location.

Staff hygiene fell short: soiled clothing, no hair covering, or unkempt nails.

PERFECT PARTY SPOT! I just hosted my daughter's birthday party at Baby Grand, and it was fantastic. The service was great - very helpful, easy communication and the hostess was terrific with the kids. The space is cool - great vibe and lighting, with room for everyone to get on the stage and sing together, which was perfect. They let us decorate and bring in props, food and cake (Stretch Pizza delivers here). Note you have to pay per picture for the photobooth.
