Description
Tucked just off 5th Avenue and near the Belasco Theatre, this spot manages to feel sophisticated yet lived-in. The layout features comfortable booth seating and is roomy enough to host groups without getting too loud. The vast menu fits everything from a quick mid-afternoon snack to a full dinner, showcasing items like buffalo chicken spring rolls and espresso martinis. It functions equally well for a sit-down meal before a Broadway show or as a relaxed harbor for post-theater drinks.
