NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 23rd Street Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

The original location is a great place to visit if the weather is nice. You can sit outside and enjoy an excellent view of the flat iron building and surrounding area. The food was excellent. It can be a little slow depending on the time of day but otherwise this is one of the best location around for this franchise. Still not crazy about their fries, though haha

We dined here for Valentine’s Day, and the restaurant went above and beyond in both service and creating a romantic atmosphere. The prix fixe seasonal menu offered thoughtful choices for each course, and everything we tried was fantastic. The standout dish for me was the caraflex cabbage—it was exceptional. Our server, Mike, truly elevated the experience. He was welcoming, patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. While the food was outstanding, what I’ll remember most is the warmth and hospitality of the staff. It was a truly special evening.

It's been about a decade since we've been here, and it's just as good now as it was the first time we came. While we were happy with all of our dishes, the complimentary bread it actually what we'll remember about this meal. It was so fluffy and tasty! I got the dark chocolate cake dessert and my favorite part was the candied chestnut. I could eat a whole bowl of those - so good. The service was also good - friendly and helpful; but not stuffy.

Delicious from start to end. Celebrated our anniversary tonight and wanted to have a memorable dinner. The Dining Room at GT hit all of our wants: charming homey atmosphere. We were old ladies and came for the 5pm seating - it was quiet in the dining room (packed in the tavern). Our sever Mary Beth felt like an old friend, finding shared stories while ensuring we felt celebrated and were satisfied with our meal. All five courses were inventive and tasty yet the spiked hot chocolate may have been my favorite. A special night had at the GT!

Tried the Restaurant Week menu. Nothing outstanding that I would really remember. But worst thing first, the duck had a weird taste, so gross that I had to spit it out on the plate. It just didn’t taste right, and I don’t know if the duck was sick or if it hadn’t been stored properly and went bad. Also not sure if Gramercy Tavern is aware of this because apparently, the dish has now been removed from the updated menu. On that note, I also feel that the menu design needs some more work. The restaurant week is offering a mandatory three-course meal, but some of the dishes suffice on their own and becomes too overwhelming when served with other dishes. (That said, large serving size in most other cases is a pro.) I also want to point out that the service is unbearably slow. We arrived at the restaurant at the reservation time, waited 10 minutes to be seated, and another 10 to receive some water and the menu. There was endless wait between courses, and you won’t really get service unless you aggressively wave at someone. The whole lunch ended up taking about 2 hours.

We have been at Gramercy Tavern several times, both the Tavern and the Dining Room, and both are consistently great. The food is always delicious and well-cooked, though once they didn’t ask how we wanted the beef, and it came out well-done instead of rare. That said, their service has always been top-notch—thoughtful, accommodating, and even considerate of our anniversary. They handle delays gracefully, offering drinks while we waited. Overall, it’s a spot we happily return to every time we visit NYC!

Okay, here it is…After spending the money we did, I would love to say we loved it, but that's not the case. The hospitality is wonderful. The food is good but the level of salt made it very difficult to enjoy it. We wish we knew ahead of time that the salt was the main ingredient we would have asked to hold it 1/2 way. We loved many dishes but could not enjoy them fully due to that. It mad us sad. We waited a long time to go due to $$$$. I wish I could go back and ask to hold the salt to actually enjoy it. Unfortunately, I will not be recommending.

It was a F A N T A S T I C dining experience. Thanks for this amazing dinner. AMBIENCE: very elegant. A former insurance, a lobby inside this building with high ceilings and a giant blue painting which is in the center of the restaurant. Very elegant atmosphere. SERVICE and KITCHEN STAFF: Impeccable. Exceptional and fantastic. The waiters maintain a very precise order when serving the dishes.. we had the opportunity to be chosen to visit the kitchen and all the staff and the work that goes into creating these culinary creations that are divine. Kitchen was damn clean!! Wow. All the people who work for the chef in the kitchen do an exceptional job. Chef is a genius to create this vegan kitchen. FOOD was truly delicious even though it was vegan and it was our first experience it was a really positive, fantastic experience that I will definitely repeat.

Had the absolute best food experience here. The food and meals were absolutely phenomenal. I am incredibly impressed with the quality and flavors of all the dishes here. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great. We went for lunch and it was very relaxed and the building it is in was stunning. The service we received we received from Anthony, Josh, Oswaldo was great. They were very informative about the menu, food, ingredients. Chloe gave us a tour of the kitchen and was kind enough to take a photo. They also have a Manhattan cart where they make your drink of choice right there. Isiah was phenomenal and gave us great recommendations on the subtle differences with the ingredients of each drink. They also gave us some fresh made granola as a nice little treat. Definitely will be back when we are in town and absolutely obsessed with this place and what they’ve done.

A fabulous meal at Eleven Madison Park; all the staff were friendly and attentive, every interaction was meticulous, but never felt pretentious. The food was amazing, each dish well presented, introduced and devoured. This is definitely a once in a life time experience for most people but if you get the chance go for it. You will not be disappointed.
David Webb - a week ago

Dining at Eleven Madison Park is always a unique experience. Although the vegan food did not impress, the staff were amazing and the atmosphere romantic, even though there were constant movement of staff since we sat close to the Kitchen opening. I have to say that we expected way more of the food of a 3 Stars Michlen restaurant. Except the Avocado and the fried Mushrooms, most of the food tasted similar and there wasn't even once that we were wowed by the food. I don't think this experience is worth the money, unfortunately.

Nice restaurant with good vibes. Drinks and food were good. Desserts were awesome. I ordered chicken kebab which was good. Hummus and bread were decent. The best was chocolate tasting! Our service was too strict with the timing and it felt as if he was being a mummy to us. Rest was all ok. Good place and nice vibes for a get together with friends.

We dined here a few weekends ago for dinner and the food was different from the usual Lebanese restaurants that I’m used to. The cocktails were good but we had to swap one of them out because it was too sour. Calamari had a different style and taste but was enjoyable. Very loud and lively ambiance and service was somewhat attentive. We did have to try and locate our waiter to mention the cocktail. Overall it was a decent experience but nothing to rave about. I do plan to visit again to check out the bar.

I went for brunch. The food's presentation is excellent and the flavors are good, but nothing blew my mind. The prices are high, but the portions are generous. The coffee was pretty average coffee pot fare. The service was good as expected from an upscale establishment. The corner location is gorgeous, with plenty of space between tables and a quite pleasant sidewalk seating.

Cool restaurant with delicious Mediterranean food. We sat at the bar and the service was great and attentive. All the food we tried was delicious...especially loved the lamb in the bread dome...super flavorful. The restaurant was pretty large inside, but was fully booked. Make reservations. First come first serve service at the bar. Would definitely go back!

Tony from Five and Dime recommend this beautiful restaurant, and I am so glad he did!!! The atmosphere is beautiful and the music fun. The staff is so professional. We were a big group and we felt well cared for. The food is among the best I have ever had. You MUST try the dessert!!! 😋

The 19th St Burger lunch exclusive is a must-try. The meat is excellent, but what really is most memorable are the fries. They are thin and crispy, which really is the perfect texture to pair with the heavier bites of the burger. Staff is also super friendly.
Khoi Pham - a week ago

Their eggnog is exquisite, filled to the brim with festive seasonal notes. The apple brussel sprout salad was unique and tasty. Every bite was different. Theres a lot going on with that salad, all of it good! Finally, the most wonderful part of this dining experience was their shrimp hot sauce spaghetti. Juicy flavorful shrimp in a remarkably spicy yet deliciously tasty tomato sauce. Very nice indeed.

Great outdoor seating at the end of the summer. Nice portions for lunch meals. Pasta is excellent and Al dente and appreciate you can choose a smaller portion size if you’d like (still very filling). Vegetable dishes were inspired, creative, and delicious

I’ve been a fan since they opened on 16th St. First return since 2021, when I had a terrific meal. Unfortunately, this visit was rather uneven. It was a Restaurant Week lunch. First thing, we were assigned to what is arguably the worst table in the restaurant, upper mezzanine next to the service counter. Loud and unpleasant. A little bit confusing since the restaurant was about half empty. Our server was attentive and warm, kept the warm bread coming. However, the runner spilled garlic chili oil on the table (and my glasses) carelessly and didn’t even notice or clean it up. And her demeanor was kind of unwelcoming. Oysters were a bit of a miss. The Brussels salad was pretty good, nice blend of textures and flavors. I had the malfadine pasta, quite tasty and filling. We shared the Apple cake for dessert, the gelato was good, but the cake was another miss, heavy (overdone?) and lacking apple flavor. Overall, surprisingly disappointed with our experience.

The quality and service had gone down a lot. Steak tartar no longer served table side and taste off (too much caper and not enough seasoning). The artichoke is drenched in citrus. French onion soup and escargot is your average bistro taste - not bad but not excellent. Horrible service, won't bother to fill your water and had to ask for bread (for the escargot) and came so late it got cold.

L’Express is my go-to spot on Park Ave S, serving consistently excellent French bistro fare in a lively yet cozy setting. What truly sets it apart is the service—Carlos G. is outstanding, always attentive and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. Whether for a quick coffee or a full meal, L’Express never disappoints.

Great place. The atmosphere & ambience was really good. Was able to walk in and easily get on a table on Friday night. A little bit on the pricier side, but not too bad. Burger was huge, and the steak was great. The Creme Bulee was amazing!! Open until Midnight!

We had such a good dinner. I had the mussels, croque madame and escargot. The croque madams and escargot was the best. Definitely will be back. Moises was so sweet as well. Great service from him.

The atmosphere was interesting, which is the only reason we decided to have brunch there. However, the food was terrible! I had more issues with the service than the food. I ordered a mixed salad, but they brought me potatoes instead.

Competent Italian food, but it didn't wow me at all. The raisins in the pasta didn't work for me, and the chickpeas in the salad were hard. The seafood in that same salad didn't have much flavor. At this price point I expected much more.
Javier Kohen - 2 months ago

Very nice Italian pasta restaurant (by Tom Coliccio from Food Network's Top Chef) with a relaxing & inviting setting in the flatiron district. We tried two appetizers and three pasta selections (there's only a few vegetarian options so we replaced sausage for anchovies in one dish), and all were good. Would not recommend the wine & pasta special as the house wines weren't up to the quality of the pasta. Service was very good.

Saturday brunch was so good, I had to come back on Sunday! Their brunch deal (2 plates & 2 drinks) is very affordable. The eggs baked in tomato sauce and the lemon ricotta pancakes are to die for!

We had a wonderful experience at Vallata on Saturday night, celebrating some personal successes among our group. We arrived about 30 mins early to have a drink at the bar, but opted to be seated and begin our evening a table directly in front of the open kitchen- perfect for our night (thank you to the hostess). By the time me and and my wife received our first round of Forst Italian Pilsner and a rosé for her, we had met three members of the staff (Christian got us started with amazing service) and we recognized that this restaurant had, quite possibly, the best music mix of any location we had dined and recently. Our friends arrived and drinks kept coming. We coursed our own meal out, which was so nice to be allowed to do so. We started with Whipped Ricotta and Arancini, both were our favorites of the evening. Arancini was better than what we had in Rome, while admittedly a different style. Our guests shared a cacio e pepe for a main, while I ordered the Paccheri with Fennel Sausage and Broccoli Rabe. Mine was was slightly undercooked below al dente, too chewy, but delicious flavor. My wife’s delicious steak arrived about 6 minutes after our pastas arrived, which was slightly disappointing, as we all chose to wait. En lieu of ordering dessert I explored down the beer list further, ordering the Baladine and Del Ducato IPAs. I love the Italian beer portfolio from B United but have found the hops offered on draft to move beyond earthy into oxidized and sherry like. This isn’t unique to this location. The “American Style IPA” tasted great, as the alcohol content masks the slightly sweet hop atrophy. All in all, an incredible and wonderfully hospitable time at Vallata and we can’t wait to return… and try some dessert next time.
Mick Bonde - 10 months ago

Christian and the entire staff made our experience incredible. This was possibly the best dining experience I’ve ever had. A custom menu for my birthday, celebratory drinks, a birthday dessert, THE kindest and most warm staff, plus delicious food. There were so many special moments that left our group beyond satisfied. We were all visiting from different states, but will certainly all be talking about VALLATA when we get home. Thank for this special dinner!

Hands down, one of the best meals I have ever had. Everything was too notch and well made. The service was amazing. The poached halibut was out of this world, Gratin (potatoes) were super delicious, and the Risotto was terrific (although my wife would have liked a touch more salt). Even the dessert was outstanding. We had a scoop of the Burnt Honey Vanilla ice cream. Well done by everyone. If you get the chance, I highly recommend you check out Craft.
Derek Hatfield - 2 months ago

Craft was a great experience. I can see why the restaurant is highly regarded. Being solo I tried a variety of dishes! I started out with a crudo I was really excited because I love a crudo. It was so colorful and beautiful. After taking a bite I did have to stop. So I wasn’t asked about dietary restrictions (not a requirement) on the menu the crudo did not specify grapefruit - if it was on there I wouldn’t have ordered it. However the staff was really accommodating and brought an arugula salad as an alternative. The scallops were really my favorite. So fresh, and scallops had this wonderful vermouth butter. The potatoes were whipped and creamy. They were a great add to the scallops. The pasta was really good. Borderline salty, but still delicious the crab and the nduja was delicious. The portions were great and the quality was good. Overall a recommend.

Was really looking forward to eating here. Unfortunately, it just did not deliver like we had hoped. On a positive note, the service was amazing. Our waiter, Austin, was top-notch. Very friendly and amazingly attentive. The food is served family style, so we all got to try several different things. We had the Risotto and Octopus for starters. Both were decent but not overwhelmingly flavorful. For the main course, we had the Rohan Duck and the strip steak. Very disappointing. Really lacked flavor and was in desperate need of something. Perhaps a little bit of salt. Steak was also very tough. Sauces that came with it were also not very flavorful. We had the gold rice and potato puree for the sides. Potato puree was probably my favorite thing I ate. We had the chocolate souffle for dessert. Honestly, I just tasted like a brownie that I could make at home. Overall, for the amount of money you spend to eat there, just underwhelming and not what we were hoping for.

great restaurant! Came here on thanksgiving and they had a wonderful planned out menu with some impressively diverse options and also still had everything I would expect a traditional thanksgiving dinner to have. Would recommend especially if your a little bored of the same local flavors,

Craft was a lovely experience throughout from the hostess saying hello to our server. The food was incredible, loved the different varieties of food and flavours. The restaurant is beautiful and provides lovely atmosphere throughout. We received compliments of the house soups to clean our palette, followed by great pairing of drinks, my friend and I shared a light and refreshing beet salad, and had our individual dishes of pasta, followed by a lovely dessert. Great place to connect with a good friend. Highly recommend.

Good atmosphere and first time eating Russian food, beets somehow not bad, pelmeni similar to dumplings juicy and thicker skin, overall interesting flavors pretty unique and good exploration, slightly pricey ($66pp including drinks), nice decor looked somewhat grand (2/15/25).

Mari Vanna in New York City is a gem of a Russian restaurant that delivers an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported to a cozy, vintage Russian home with its beautifully authentic décor, complete with intricate wallpaper, antique furniture, and charming atmosphere. The food is nothing short of extraordinary – every dish is prepared with care and bursting with flavor, from the hearty borscht to the delicate pelmeni. The service is impeccable, with staff who are warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, making you feel like a cherished guest. Whether for a special occasion or simply to savor authentic Russian cuisine, Mari Vanna is a must-visit.

Came here for dinner, ordered the beef stroganoff and lamb shank. I just want to start by saying the food can be a little heavy and it is very filling; not a bad thing! Got full very quickly and took some home as leftovers and it was just as good reheated up. The beef stroganoff was delicious; it was served with buckwheat which tasted amazing by itself but even better when mixed with sauce. The lamb shank just slid off the bone. Absolutely delicious but I wished there was a bit more sauce. Service was good; it was very very busy that night so it was a little too crowded. All in all, I highly recommend this place for Eastern European cuisine.

My friends from Los Angeles recommended we visit Mari Vanna, a Russian cuisine restaurant, and we were absolutely delighted with the experience. My husband and I are big fans of Russian and Georgian food, so we made sure to try some of the classic dishes. We had Olivier salad, herring under a fur coat, tongue with horseradish, and borscht. From the Georgian menu, we ordered khinkali and khachapuri, accompanied by two glasses of red wine. Our friends opted for beef Stroganoff and shashlik. Every single dish was absolutely delicious, just like a meal at a traditional Russian grandmother’s house. The festive Christmas and New Year atmosphere added a special charm to the experience. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, cozy, and playing Russian music, which made it feel even more authentic. Our server (unfortunately, I don’t recall her name) was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. As for the prices, for New York City, I’d say they are fairly reasonable. The total for our meal for four came to around $400. Of course, in Russia, these dishes would cost significantly less, but for NYC, this felt normal and worth the experience. I highly recommend Mari Vanna! Advance reservations are a must, but their booking system works seamlessly, and you can easily reserve a table through the link on their website. If you’re looking for a cozy, authentic Russian dining experience in New York, this is the place to go!

A fantastic experience! Fresh, seasonal food, passionate and knowledgeable staff members who put their hearts into their work all in a beautiful old English setting. We also appreciated the menu options that were a mix of traditional meat dishes but also many vegetarian dishes too! Thoroughly impressed and will be back!

I was truly impressed with the brunch menu selection at "Friend of the Farmer"—there were so many tempting options that it made choosing quite a challenge! I went with the boomers (blueberry pancakes), and it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is something special, and the service was impeccable. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for brunch. I absolutely love it!

We had the Terry Ann chicken and toasted squash crostini, which I felt were exemplars of down-to-earth, quality culinary innovation. I really enjoyed the touch of stuffed Granny Smith in the Terry Ann chicken, which gave the breast an extra juiciness that’s often lacking in chicken breast dishes. Fantastic freshness with the squash on the crostini, too, which was evidence of true farm-to-table ingredients. The dessert, which was a pumpkin bread ice cream sandwich, took a while to arrive but otherwise was quite nice and homey. I would have given the experience a total 5/5 had it not been for the rather dim environs, and the tables felt a bit squeezy too. But all in all, great food, unassuming vibes and cosy atmosphere - highly recommended!

First of all the manager is amazing and runs the place like a well oiled machine! But in fact it is a charming cottage in the forest. But in fact it is in Gramercy Park. I wish there was a portal there and I could go to the place it came from. I wish I could eat their vegan pot pie and strawberry tea every day. My server was Antonio. We bonded and he made me feel special. I wrote him a poem after I had an incredible conversation with my dining companion, Sam Rad, a radically optimistic futurist you all should listen to. Thank you farmer for being my friend.

This place was on my list to try for a while. The idea of farm to table hearty food was very appealing and I was hoping it was going to be great. Unfortunately, it wasn't amazing. It wasn't bad either. Just ok. The chicken pot pie was nice, but it didn't have much chicken in it, and was mostly vegetables. The barn burger had great potential. I could tell the quality of the meat. However it didn't have any seasoning at all, hence it was pretty much tasteless. I'm sure many of the brunch dishes will be good, just not these two. All in all I was dissapointed.
