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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Bar Americain
152 W 52nd St., Midtown, NYBobby Flay’s huge, big money restaurant that feels more like Las Vegas than Midtown. The food is incredible, but a layaway plan to pay for it would be helpful.

Tenpenny
16 East 46th Street, Midtown, NYRestaurants in Midtown are a mess. They’re generally made up of overpriced garbage that appeal directly to the easy to please Suits, and fancy 4-star eaters. It’s rare that we find an unheralded gem around these parts, but that’s exactly what we discovered in Tenpenny. You can’t see it from the street, but hidden inside [...]

HB Burger
127 W 43rd St., Midtown, NYWith our ingrained feeling of revulsion towards anything Heartland related, you can imagine how shocked we were to find that this burger joint from the restaurant chain is home to a real quality burger.

Oceana
1221 6th Ave., Midtown, NYThey say the Ocean occupies 71% of our planet’s surface, right? Well, it feels like Oceana occupies 71% of 49th street. It’s a welcome addition to Midtown’s clusterf*ck of expansive dining halls, and is especially enjoyable if you’re not the one paying.

BXL Cafe
125 W. 43rd St., Midtown, NYGuess where you can find us getting down on all you can eat shellfish in Times Square. No, not Steinthal’s 30th birthday party at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. We were actually recently turned on to this little spot BXL last month, and have hit their all you can eat mussels special a few times since. [...]

Five Napkin Burger
630 9th Avenue, Hell's Kitchen, NYThe best burger between 8th Ave and the Hudson River, and that ain’t saying much. We’d much rather take the short walk to Burger Joint, HB Burger, or even Five Guys.
