Friedman's

Set in Tribeca with the fresh look of a higher-end diner, Friedman's pairs familiar comfort staples—like pastrami melts—with sushi and mixed drinks, including a well-liked spicy margarita. It sits just a five-minute walk from the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, making it a convenient pre-show stop. The floor staff is consistently welcoming and accommodating, even if service pacing can occasionally wobble between the bar and the kitchen.
