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. [...]

PizzArte
69 W. 55th St., Midtown, NYWhere does one go for good pizza in Midtown? Nowhere, really. Maybe Bella Napoli (see Lunch In Midtown) for a slice, but it’s otherwise been slim pickins until now. Thankfully, PizzArte has brought the Neapolitan pie craze to Midtown. Much like the recently opened Forcella, the specialty pizza here at PizzArte is the flash-fried montanara [...]

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 [...]

The Modern
9 W. 53rd St., Midtown, NYThe best way for us to give you the lowdown on this place is to explain that it’s really two different experiences: the bar, and the dining room. One is a three course, prixe fixe fine dining experience, the other sleek, more relaxed, often features some Action at the Bar. If you’re going, go big and eat in the dining room.

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.

Bill’s Bar & Burger Midtown
45 Rockefeller Plaza, Midtown, NYYou might remember our review of the original Bill’s Bar & Burger. Make special note of the part where we talk about how we’re glad this place isn’t in our neighborhood – what with our affinity for burgers and complete lack of self control. So much for that. Bill just opened a mega-restaurant 200 yards [...]

Benoit
60 W. 55th St., Midtown, NYBenoit is an Alain Ducasse restaurant. That means two things – French food and high expectations from anyone who knows the man’s name. We ended up here because a friend of the Infatuation wanted to check it out based on Mr. Ducasse’s resume, and because it’s somewhere in Midtown that we hadn’t already confirmed to [...]

Prime Burger
5 East 51st St., Midtown, NYOur Classic NYC Establishment tag was created for spots like Prime Burger. This place is as old school as it gets. Prime Burger is a throwback diner – not a pub like fellow geezers Old Town or
