NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 68th Street – Hunter College Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

Your typical Irish Pub/Sports Bar, it's a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. Service is decent, but not anything to really get excited about, and it can get a big crowded in the front when Hunter students stop by. The burgers are tasty, especially the BLT. Be aware that you'll probably have no phone service if you go to the back. Overall, a nice place to grab a drink, especially since there aren't a ton of bars in the area.

Phoenix is good as a sports bar, but fails as anything else. The staff is super unfriendly to the point of belligerence and disappears for hours. We ended up having to go to the bar for drink and food orders several times. The food is also not great. The wings, while large, were just doused in red hot sauce, leaving them soggy and way too vinegary. The nachos were huge and looked a bit better. Beer selection was average, but nothing special and slightly disappointing for NYC. The only non major brand offered was Lagunitas which isn't exactly a tiny craft shoppe these days. The others were all domestic staples that were not at all exciting. I guess it is supposed to be a traditional Irish pub which is supposed to allow for a rougher atmosphere, but I just found it slightly dirty and sticky. The patrons are not people you'd want to associate with for the most part and a few verbal scuffles broke out toward the end of the night. There are better bars in the area.

Great Happy Hours, Great Wings(HUGE BTW), Next to a cheap parking garage. Pool table and outside patio are a bonus. Bartenders are always great, Waitresses can be a hit or miss. This was one of my stops during my bachelorette party, The girls working that night paid the bar drunk to molest me via lap dance, good times..good times. Guy below me couldn't sound anymore like a pompous douche.

Came to watch Iceland make history against France (albeit in a losing effort). Brian, the bartender, was phenomenal. The food, drink, and atmosphere were great.

When I was a newby to nyc I was like a fish out of water. I saw the mets neon sign in the window I had to go in, all in all its a great place, the service is outstanding and (whatever they did to the menue ) is magnificent.

My husband and I went to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. What a special treat. We opted for the 9 course and wine pairing. The food was excellent. The staff was super friendly. The explanations were clear and our asking questions was received with grace and excitement to share more knowledge. We were even taken to the kitchen to capture a picture and presented with a menu booklet commemorating the date. When another milestone moment comes, I wouldn't hesitate to return. I didn't take many pictures because I wanted to just be present, and it was so with just experiencing the scene. Thank you for making this such a special evening!

My friend booked Daniel for my birthday , and it was absolutely incredible! The food was amazing, the ambiance felt like a royal palace, and the service was impeccable. From the moment I walked in until the end, every staff member wished me Happy Birthday—the emotional value was off the charts! 💖 Great food, stunning atmosphere, and top-tier service—truly an unforgettable experience! 🥂

Our evening at Daniel NYC began on a high note with a warm welcome and a stunning ambiance—certainly among the city’s best settings for fine dining. We opted for the seven-course tasting menu with wine pairings, hoping for an unforgettable culinary journey. However, as the evening progressed, the dishes fell surprisingly short on flavor, leaving much to be desired in taste and creativity. Additionally, the service, while polished, lacked genuine engagement. Some servers seemed to be going through the motions, delivering rehearsed lines rather than showing true attentiveness to the guests. While the setting is exceptional, the overall experience felt more style than substance.

We celebrated our anniversary at Daniel, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The nine-course tasting menu was an adventure in fine dining, with each dish showcasing meticulous attention to detail and an incredible depth of flavor. From the first bite to the last, the food was nothing short of extraordinary. The service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, with the staff making us feel special throughout the evening. Every course was beautifully presented That said, while we appreciated the abundance and variety of the tasting menu, it was quite a lot of food! By the end, we were overwhelmed, which slightly detracted from fully savoring the final courses. Overall, Daniel exceeded our expectations in almost every way, delivering a luxurious and celebratory dining experience. It’s a place we’ll fondly remember and highly recommend to anyone seeking an exceptional culinary journey—just come prepared for a feast!

I consider one of the best restaurants in the whole world. Firstly the interior designer is impressive with such a nice taste for art and the wood panels in organic lines. It’s sublime, you feel that you are in an Italian Palazzo, but a modern one. The staff is beyond friendly, they are well prepared. Sydney was very certain and confident about the wines and made the right choices for both of us. I love to find people passionate about what they do in life, this makes a huge difference. We chose the option in the menu with 5 courses, all them extremely well presented and deliciously each one. We only missed a piano as background, but the atmosphere was so welcoming and the other guests so respectfully quiet that we felt honoured to be in the middle. Highly recommend this restaurant for everyone that wants a nice dinner and gastronomic experience in French cuisine in Manhattan. My partner is French, and he approved everything and agreed with my feedback. We will definitely will return next time in NY.

• One of the few truly authentic Italian restaurants in the Upper East Side. • My favorite spot is the table next to the window. • The food is consistently delicious and the ambiance is cozy. • The interior decor is interesting and eye-catching. • The staff is always friendly and welcoming. • The owner is frequently present on the floor, ensuring a high-quality experience. • An excellent choice for everyday dining.

This place holds a special spot in my heart been coming here when I see my friends on the upper east side for years now…. You can’t beat it.

Our favorite meal on a recent long weekend visit to the city. The food is authentic Italy. We were with a relatively boisterous group and our waiter rolled with it. He was a lot of fun. The food is truly marvelous.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. We came in on a slower Sunday and staff was fantastic and attentive. Our bartender even warmed our plates to prepare them for the pizza. Uriel, our bartender, was incredibly nice and caring. We would recommend this place to anyone.

The food was good. I tried the Sunny bowl and was surprised at first by the presentation and second by the flavor. Everything worked so well together and each bite just got better and better. They have nice things in the menu for kids and adults. I would love to bring my kids to try the mini pancakes. They definitely looked amazing.

Having breakfast here is like being transported for a moment to the bars and cafes of Europe. The quality is excellent, the waitress greets you with a friendly smile, explains the dishes and that is priceless. The soft classical music is a perfect complement to a wonderful start to the day.

Pros: nice atmosphere. A reasonably okay pane au chocolate Cons: waitress seemed to have a personal blood feud against me on entry. Unclear why. Snatched the menu away before I could order food, so I had to ask for it back. Was generally displeased at us. Best bit was I handed her my card and then she gave the card reader to my husband !! I had to grab it across the table. I had a tomato sandwich which was awful. My husband had stale bread in his skillet (at a bakery). Go somewhere else !

I stopped in here for the third time at the 370 lexington avenue location on the way to an eye doctors appointment next door I grabbed a French cream donut after seeing it on their advertisement outside looked so delicious I had to grab one!!. Last time I came here on my 2nd visit I had a chocolate muffin with a medium coffee which was also delicious!!. Service is fast as well!. Oh yeah the hot chocolate Definitely goes well with the French cream donut!!

Do not hesitate, this restaurant is truly one of the best restaurants in New York City. Wherever you are in Manhattan, I would urge you to travel here.. not necessarily because it has the fanciest menu or the best decor, but because it just has really really good food with some of the best staff I have ever experienced. I visited here with my dog who is blind, they have an indoor and outdoor seating area. Every person was so lovely and accommodating and friendly and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. I had a cocktail that was so delicious they ended up ordering another one, not because I wanted it but because it was just so tasty. I went really simple with lunch and had a grilled cheese with tomato soup, this was like the best grilled cheese and tomato soup that has ever existed. Everything was homey and comforting and the staff really made the experience what it was.

First time here and it won’t be the last! There was a small mix up with firing orders from the kitchen but it resulted in us getting our food faster which was perfect because we were so hungry. Our server was incredible and recommended the Wildflower cocktail which I loved. The host was very accommodating and super welcoming too. Overall, an excellent experience and I’ll be sure to bring anyone that wants a quality brunch.

Waiters and bartenders were extremely friendly! The food however was not the greatest. To me, nothing really stood out. I had the oysters to start which were not extraordinary given the price (pretty average). I got the steak as the main course and let me tell you - that was the oiliest steak I’ve ever had. Definitely didn’t feel like a winner after eating it. In fact, I kind of felt ill. The atmosphere of the place was also off - it’s more of an intimate setting, except the lighting was so dim we could hardly see our food in front of us. Lastly, the kitchen service was very slow and normally I would give them the benefit of the doubt, especially if the restaurant was busy. But alas, we were one of three tables sat. Probably wouldn’t go back again.

$$$ Randomly wandered into this place after the west side was cut off from driving. Located on the east side of the city, this restaurant has both outdoor and indoor seating. Ordered the Huevos rancheros: blue corn tortilla topped with beans and cute little side dishes of guac, onion, salsa verde. (Make sure you tell em how you want your eggs, otherwise they'll come runny!) Grilled cheese and tomato soup I've most certainly had better but this wasn't a bad spin from the classic... The home fries are where it's at! Crispy, tasty and fresh! Service here = exceptional. Everyone down to the host was awesome and extremely helpful.

Great people all around! Watch for the girl at the coat check cuz she’ll pressure you to give her your bag/coat (just kidding she’s all jokes it’s great)! Coffee was great, food was great, and people at the bar were extra friendly. Def a great time.

Not impressed by the food; the salad was dry, the duck overcooked and my fiancée didn't enjoy the Moules either. They included a 20% to the bill which I always find very shady.
Stéphane Bourgain - 6 months ago

Impressed how big the servings were here. The endive salad and Thai mulles frites were both stand outs. Great spot to grab a weekend lunch. Come hungry.

Overall an enjoyable time at Le Charlot. The service was a bit slow and quite loud indoors which we find typical with French restaurants. We enjoyed the appetizers more than the main courses, which we found to be a bit underwhelming. Overall a good restaurant for drinks and intimidate family meals.

Gourmet Bagel Layout/atmosphere *Four seat window counter; six tables in the back Food/drink *Pumpernickel bagel with garlic & herb cream cheese - Good; not over toasted; not too small of a bagel; spread wasn’t overpowered by garlic *Morning Call Smoothie (pineapple, banana, orange juice) - good; thick

This is literally my first review written. When I tell you I love Gourmet Bagel. They memorize my order just after a few weeks of coming in. The customer service is FANTASTIC. and don't get me started on the food. The bagels they make are impeccable.

We enjoyed our experience and would love to go back, the people that took our order and assisted us were so kind and went above and beyond to ensure everything was right and that our table was clean. We felt so good and had the best bagels ever! Thank you so much 💓

Fantastic breakfast place! A lot of options and a lot of food for the price you pay! I had an Italian hero sandwich! 🥪 Nice ambiance, clean and neat. The personnel is very friendly and polite. The place in itself is kinda small but still spacious so you could sit in there and have a meal.

Breakfast sandwich was fast, fresh, and tasty. Standard Deli/Bodega prices. They had a nice little area to sit and eat your food which I appreciated. I sat in the little nook with a view to the street which was very pleasant.

Hunter Delicatessen is a great option for students since it offers a discount for them, even though the prices can be a bit high compared to other places. Despite that, the ingredients look fresh and of good quality, and the food is good. The staff could honestly be better.

One of my favorite delis in the city,it gets a little packed at lunch time but they know my order and its gets made the second I step in the store. Helpful guys making the sandwiches and the owners are lovely people and very kind!

Overcharged me for something I didn’t order and refused to give refund. I disputed with my credit card proof and they asked me to get a drink which I didn’t want so they don’t have to refund me. I ended up having to pay more for an overpriced drink.

I love the pizza! Exactly perfect. Great taste, easy going staffs and wonderful dining environment. I ate a slice of grandma’s pizza and then the pepperoni. Too good to stop.
Lee Rung - a month ago

We were looking for a restaurant to eat quickly after our visit to the Central Park, and I said NY is well known because of its pizzas and we found this place. Amazing food! The pepperoni pizza was really good. The garlic with with mozzarella was a surprise it was huge :) The chicken salad with Italian dressing was absolutely refreshing and it tastes perfect for a hot day. The service was nice and fast.

I rarely write positive reviews unless I am extremely impressed. This place earned a positive review from me!!! I Ordered an eggplant parm here after my eye exam appointment. My food was ready when I arrived and was still hot! I decided to eat in the back area which was cozy with more than enough seating. This pizzeria made one of the best eggplant parm I've ever had. I strongly recommend this pizzeria.

PRETTY GOOD….PIZZA 😋 For those familiar with my work, it’s common knowledge that I like stuffing my face with pizza. I mean who doesn’t but I REALLY enjoy a mouthful of Za. That’s what led me to Mariella Pizza. Certainly not the best pizza on Earth (that’s for italy) but certainly nothing to complain about. I like it. I ordered 2 slices and sat next to some NYPD Police Officers. There were plenty of open seats but I wanted to be safe 👮‍♂️ THANK YOU PIZZA MAN 👨

This is a topical NY place for Jewish food. The food was generous and the taste was excellent. We were in doubt about a soupy and they gave us a small portion ( for free ) to decide. Will go back again (and again and again :) )
Matias Torchinsky - 6 months ago

Great food, good portions. Recommend the pastrami and the split pea soup.
Eddie Yniguez - 4 months ago

A very traditional deli in NYC, located in the 3rd Avenue. The place is small, but you can choose between seating on a table or over the balcony. There are several options in the menu, but the corned beef and the pastrami seem to be the most ordered. I've had the corned beef sandwich - it was only bread and the meat - and it was ok.
Adelson Smania - a year ago

I love it! The pastrami is the most amazing in town! If you like Jewish delis, than this is the place to be! The service is always great and I especially love the Kreplach Soup! The bacon egg and cheese roll is always a good cheaper option for a quick bite. The prices are more than fair considering they make most from scratch and it’s prepared daily. It is very family friendly. The staff knows most of the customers which makes it even more familiar. It’s an absolutely overall great establishment, no doubts!
