44 & X Hours: Plan Lunch or Dinner

Check 44 & X hours before choosing lunch or dinner: this New American restaurant at 626 10th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen records dinner every day from 5 PM to 11 PM, but lunch only Wednesday through Sunday. Its spacious, modern room, outdoor seating and cocktails suit a meal-focused plan rather than an assumption that the kitchen runs continuously. For lunch, Wednesday through Friday starts at 11:30 AM; Saturday and Sunday start at 11 AM. All recorded lunch periods end at 2:45 PM.

The practical dividing line is the gap between lunch and dinner. A 3 PM arrival falls outside the listed periods, while Monday and Tuesday have no recorded lunch service at all. Use 44 & X hours to choose a day and a service window first, then check directly if your plans depend on an exception or a particular table. The asset lists a phone number, not a reservation policy.

The food description names scallops with crab bites, short ribs, and tilapia with caramelized Brussels sprouts and spinach ricotta ravioli. Those examples explain the cooking style; they are not a guarantee of today's menu. Compare the schedule, the room and the recorded price band before saving your reminder.

The biggest difference in 44 & X hours is not the dinner closing time; it is whether lunch appears on your chosen day. Monday and Tuesday list only the evening period, from 5 PM to 11 PM. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday add an 11:30 AM opening for lunch, which finishes at 2:45 PM. Saturday and Sunday move that first opening to 11 AM and keep the same afternoon finish. Dinner is recorded separately on all seven days.

That makes a day-and-service check more useful than a single closing time. If you are deciding between a weekday lunch and a weekend meal, the weekend schedule gives an earlier listed start. If your free time begins in the middle of the afternoon, neither a late lunch nor an early dinner should be assumed from these periods. Choose a time inside the recorded window rather than treating the interval as continuous service.

Use 44 & X hours as the baseline, not a live table-availability tool. The record does not specify last seating, last kitchen orders or holiday exceptions. A phone check is the appropriate next step when your arrival is close to a boundary. Saving the chosen day and intended service in a reminder keeps the plan specific without implying a confirmed booking.

Start with the combination the main asset actually describes: New American comfort food, an airy modern dining room and a bar serving unusually named cocktails. The named examples include scallops with crab bites and short ribs, plus a tilapia dish paired with caramelized Brussels sprouts and spinach ricotta ravioli. They give you concrete dishes to ask about without turning a stored description into a promise that every item is available when you arrive.

The room is another useful comparison point. Large street-facing windows connect the interior to the surrounding city activity, and the record identifies the restaurant as gay-friendly. Outdoor seating is listed too, but that does not establish a reservable outdoor table, a weather policy or year-round access. Treat the indoor-or-outdoor choice as something to confirm if it matters to your meal.

Check 44 & X hours alongside those preferences: an attractive room does not remove the afternoon service break. The recorded $$$ price band is a broad signal, not a per-person estimate or an itemized menu. No specific cocktail prices or food prices are supplied. Once you have compared the setting and food style, use 44 & X hours to narrow the service you want, then ask directly about the details that remain open.

Build the plan in three steps: choose a day, choose lunch or dinner, and separate known details from questions for the restaurant. The recorded 44 & X hours settle the first two decisions without guessing at the rest. A Wednesday lunch uses the 11:30 AM opening, for example, while a Sunday lunch can start from 11 AM. An evening plan uses the listed 5 PM opening on either day. Those are schedule comparisons, not suggested reservations or estimates of how long a meal will take.

Next, save the address and phone number with your intended service. The location is 626 10th Avenue in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen, and the supplied number is (212) 977-1170. If you need a particular dish, an outdoor table or booking guidance, ask before leaving. The record does not establish parking arrangements, transit directions, accessible facilities or a guaranteed wait time, so none should be built into the plan as a fact.

Finally, use the related Pages as separate ideas, not a timed itinerary. Their titles can help you compare another dining style or a different Midtown activity without assuming opening times match. Keep 44 & X hours attached to this restaurant alone, and decide which stop matters most before adding anything else to the day.

What are 44 & X hours on Monday and Tuesday?
44 & X hours are recorded as 5 PM to 11 PM on both days, with no lunch period. If you want a daytime meal, choose another listed lunch day or contact the restaurant rather than assuming afternoon service.

Does 44 & X open for Wednesday lunch?
Yes, the source record lists Wednesday lunch from 11:30 AM to 2:45 PM, followed by dinner from 5 PM to 11 PM. That is a split schedule, so the afternoon gap should remain part of your plan.

What time does 44 & X open at weekends?
Saturday and Sunday both list an 11 AM opening, lunch ending at 2:45 PM, and dinner from 5 PM to 11 PM. Check 44 & X hours directly if your visit depends on an exception or last seating.

What does the price band mean, and do I need a reservation?
The record supplies a $$$ price band but no item prices, per-person estimate or reservation rules. Do not treat the band as a quote or a booking instruction; call (212) 977-1170 to clarify what matters to your meal.
