Description
Operating in Midtown since 1974, this spot sits near landmarks like Rockefeller Center and Grand Central. The menu focuses on comfort food and drinks, with patrons highlighting the Irish coffees, amaretto sours, and a chicken pot pie made with real chicken and a standout crust. Other menu items include a brussel caesar and a crispy codwich, which one visitor compared to an elevated McDonald's fish filet. The space accommodates guests with both indoor and outdoor seating, serving as a long-standing Midtown gathering point.
