Restaurants In Midtown
our suggestions
-
Marea
240 Central Park S, Columbus Circle, NYMarea definitely needs some good Infatuation press…they haven’t gotten much love lately. Makes you wonder if people around these parts have even heard of it. I mean, it’s only been awarded Best New Restaurant in America by the James Beard Foundation. While we haven’t yet logged enough hours on the road to make that kind [...]

Burger Joint
Le Parker Meridien Hotel, Midtown, NYWelcome to the best burger in town. Hidden behind red velvet curtains inside the swank Midtown hotel Le Paker Meridien, is this staged hole in the wall, complete with fake wood paneling and vinyl booths.

Shake Shack Times Square
693 8th Ave., Midtown, NY“Selling out” will always be a hotly debated topic. Growing up, my friends and I would spend hours arguing about whether or not our favorite bands were sellouts. Green Day, Rancid, Bad Religion, all bands that were supposed to be so punk, yet signed on with a major label at one point in their careers. [...]

Sushi of Gari 46
347 W. 46th St., Midtown, NYDamn. We’ve been sleepin’ on Gari…hard. This is some of the finest fish in all of Manhattan. Their $50 Omakase is as visually stimulating as sushi can get. This isn’t just fish on top of rice – no, no. Each piece is prepared like its own entree – stacked, coated and finished with different ingredients. [...]

Keens Steakhouse
72 W. 36th Street, Midtown, NYKeens is as Old New York as you can get. Open since 1885, this place is loaded with history. It’s pretty much the Museum of Natural Meat Eating History.

The National
557 Lexington Ave., Midtown, NYRestaurants get after us online all the time. They try and lure us in for a review by telling us how great they are over and over again, most with wreckless disregard and absolutely zero tact. Restaurants that agressively hustle to get people like us in the door to write about them generally suck. That’s [...]

Danji
346 W. 52 St., Hell's Kitchen, NYHell’s Kitchen is hot right now. It’s no longer home only to endless Thai joints and 9th Avenue establishments that glow neon colors in the dark. There’s a very legitimate restaurant scene developing here. As we’ve ventured further into Authentic Ethnic Eats lately, it’s become clear that we’re real down with Korean food. I know, [...]

Toloache
251 W. 50th St, Midtown, NYFinding a good restaurant in Times Square is harder than getting Rex Ryan to lay off the GODDAMN SNACKS. But people – there’s hope. Deep in the heart of this culinary dead-zone and in close proximity to Radio City, Roseland and Nokia Theatre sits Toloache; an upscale Mexican restaurant in the same family as Infatuation [...]

Má Pêche
15 West 56th Street, Midtown, NYOK, we’ll admit it. We were a little hard on Má Pêche the first time around. At first, it was a let down. David Chang opening up a Midtown restaurant in our daytime backyard was a little too exciting. When it didn’t live up to our sky high expectations immediately, we were quick to judge. [...]

The Lambs Club
130 W. 44th Street, Midtown, NYIf we were members of the real deal expense account, suit wearing army, The Lambs Club would probably be our home base. With so many terrible restaurants in the Times Square area catering to such types, this is the one for maxing out the Corporate Card. No stranger to Midtown, Geoffrey Zakarian’s (The National, Le [...]
