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

My friend and I stumbled upon this place on a Sunday evening while walking from SoHo to Chinatown, and it felt like discovering a hidden gem. The lush greenery and vibrant atmosphere gave us serious Miami vibes, a refreshing contrast to the sweltering heat of NYC right now. We were impressed by the quality and generous portions of the food and drinks. Speaking of drinks, they were excellent too! Frozen watermelon margarita is a MUST! All food that we had is soo yumm! Beautiful and well decorated. - East Coast Oyster - Steamed Mussels - Maine Lobster Roll - Smashed Avocado However, the service was a bit slow. While our server was friendly, it took us more than 15 minutes to order our second round of drinks, which was a tad frustrating. Understandably, they seemed understaffed given how busy it was. Overall, despite the minor wait, we loved the ambiance and the delicious offerings here. Definitely worth a visit. Will be back!!

Really beautiful place, has a tropical feel to it. The service was good but did decline towards the end when it started getting a bit more busier. The food was delicious, minus the shrimp pasta it was a bit on the bland side. But everything else was so great. The menu is very minimal, which was perfect for us because we got to basically try almost everything in the menu. The drinks really were the highlight! The drinks were refreshing and just right for a nice summer day. Would definitely be back again.

10/10 for this fabulous plant oasis. I would come just to sit with the plants. Drinks were delicious and appetizers were fresh and light.

Cute spot, Chris provided amazing service!! It was much appreciated. Watermelon drink was good and our food (lobster Cobb, burrata toast, oysters) was delicious. Towards closing there were a few extra critters 🐀 running around so it was def time to go but otherwise, a great night out.

Such a fun romantic place to go for a date night! Good: - The lobster noodles were amazing! I was blown away since the noodles were so tasty and chewy and also the sauce had so much flavor The lobster meat was tender and savory - The dessert was so good the donuts were flakey and chewy and adding on the condensed milk was nice - Very solid ambiance, dimly lit and private booths to eat Bad: - The place is pretty expensive! - Took a long time to flag down waiters and get them to take our orders - nice servers though Overall enjoyed the experience here and would come again! I liked he decorations mostly and the way it crafted an experience

Came here on an early Friday evening with no reservations. Hostess sat us quickly. Within an hour the restaurant was packed. It looked like a nice ambience for date night. We just ordered a few apps. The glass noodles had lots of flavor. Waitress was nice and friendly.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Macao. Our bartender Dino was exceptional and went above and beyond to enhance our experience. He not only crafted delicious drinks but also took the time to explain every detail. If you visit, make sure to try the dumplings—they are an absolute must! The combination of flavors and textures was simply outstanding. We left Macao with great memories and will be back for sure!

Celebrated our 1year anniversary. The drinks, appetizers and entrees were amazing. Each plate they brought out was just leaving us speechless. The ambience was relaxing. Recommend this restaurant, it will not dissapoint🫶🏽

This place was awesome. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a couple of their specialty cocktails and shared some dishes. Recommend the mushroom appetizer and the Hakka noodles. Those were my favorite. African chicken was moist and flavorful. Octopus app was cooked really well just had seasonings that weren’t for me. The vibe in here is very cool and they played fun 80s music all night. Apparently have a night club that is hopping in the basement late night until 4am, but we just went for dinner. Bartender service was amazing. Recommend for sure!

The restaurant is definitely super hyped, as you can tell from the long line outside. A reservation is absolutely necessary, as it significantly cuts down your waiting time to just 10–15 minutes. Without one, be prepared to stand in line for quite a while, as the place is incredibly busy. Inside, it’s packed and bustling with energy, which adds to the vibrant atmosphere but can feel overwhelming if you prefer quieter dining experiences. For the Food you just wait 2-5min of u Are sitting on your table. The pancakes are good—fluffy and served with a generous portion of fresh fruit—but they’re not extraordinary or particularly unique. It’s clear that the hype has elevated expectations, which the food doesn’t entirely meet. While the quality is solid, the pancakes don’t offer anything groundbreaking in flavor or presentation. Three pancakes with a nice serving of fruit come in at $26, which feels a bit steep for what you’re getting. However, I highly recommend trying the Buttermilk Balls for $8. These were a standout item—crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and bursting with rich buttermilk flavor. They’re smaller, shareable bites that pack a lot of taste and made a stronger impression than the pancakes. The service was attentive despite how busy it was, which speaks to the professionalism of the staff. The ambiance, while lively, might not be ideal for a leisurely breakfast or brunch if you prefer a more relaxed setting. Overall, it’s a good restaurant with decent food, but it’s not worth the hype if you’re expecting a life-changing dining experience. I’d say it’s worth visiting once, especially for the Buttermilk Balls, but manage your expectations and prepare for the price tag.

This Thanksgiving, I decided to try something new and headed to Bubby’s, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The food was absolutely amazing. From the perfectly roasted turkey to the indulgent sides like creamy mashed potatoes and flavorful stuffing, every dish was crafted with care and tasted like home. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it feel like a big family gathering. And let’s not forget the desserts and the pumpkin pie was a standout, and it was the perfect way to end the meal. If you’re looking for a place that delivers incredible food and great vibes, Bubby’s is the spot. I can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend!

Be patience, but this place deserves to be visited 🍽. It exceeded my already high expectations. The food is authentic and thoughtful. Everything tasted delicious. I loves the "trilogy" pancakes 🥞 extremely fluffy and full of flavor. My daughter is a perfect gastronomy guide and expert of the best places where to go in NY.

Brunch here was amazing but please be warned, the portions are massive! You can probably share a plate with who ever you are eating with. Also, this place normally has a line outside. It is very popular. Be prepared to wait outside or make reservations. The fried chicken is soooo good!!! You must try the sangria flight too 🙂
Seraphim Toussaint - a month ago

This place is an extremely popular spot for brunch, and it's easy to see why! The food is delicious, but be prepared: reservations are recommended since it can get busy. Unfortunately, they don't take reservations on weekends, so expect long queues outside during those days. Plan your visit with this in mind to avoid waiting too long. The menu features all the usual American breakfast and brunch favorites. One standout dish is the pancakes—they’re thicker than usual and incredibly fluffy, making them a must-try! Our guests were trying American breakfast food for the first time, and they absolutely loved it. If you're a coffee lover, be aware that they only serve drip coffee, with no espresso or other coffee varieties available. It’s good to know before you go! Seating options include both indoor and outdoor areas, each with separate queues. The indoor seating area is medium-sized, but due to its popularity, it can get crowded and noisy. While it’s not a dealbreaker, it’s something to keep in mind. Overall, this brunch spot is definitely worth a visit, just remember to plan ahead!

The Cod was a stand out and the best meal I’ve had in a while. The Linguine pasta with some shrimp was just ok. The pear tart was fantastic. A lovely restaurant full of locals and the service was great.

I happened to be in the neighborhood so decided to give this a place a try. Two stories with a nice rustic vibe. My starter - pork belly on a gnocchi custard was excellent while my pasta - a pappardelle with wild boar was decent. I would save space for their ricotta cheesecake though - a great finish. I did find prices a bit on the high side compared to similar restaurants - the most obvious being their cocktail menu. Basic cocktails of the type here should not run above $20. Needless to say, I skipped the cocktail.

Came here with my team for a team dinner. It feels really intimate and dimly lit inside. Good: - Tasty free bread - Burrata was very good, good ratio of cheese to tomato - Eggplant parm was so good - it was thinly sliced and easy to eat - The ragu was tasty - the pasta noodles had a lot of texture and good flavor - Portions are good, super full - Service was good - nice waiters Bad: - Nothing too crazy in terms of blowing my mind Overall this place was nice for getting my team created!

We were in the Canal area of Tribeca during a rainy night and saw Pepolina close to a subway entrance. We decided to try the restaurant and are glad we did. The room was warm & inviting and the service was very good. We tried the spaghetti chitarra, pesto linguini (special) and tagliatelle ai funghi porchini. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the flavors were very nice. For dessert we had the tiramisu which was one of the better ones I have had recently with the liquor being clearly prominent. Pepolina is recommended for better quality home style pasta at a good value and many vegetarian choices.

Good food, fast service. The sandwiches were good and it was ready fast. The service is ok they basically bring your food out then let you eat. Not too cramped inside.

My Walker's vibes are a combination of Cheers/Westtown Saloon. I love that. My love and I are foodies and love popping cherries, especially together. We were coming from the museum Intern ( interactive). Our date nights consist of doing one thing out of the evening that's new. Whether to one of us or collective. So we chose Walker's. It wasn't too late into the evening, and customers were lightly placed about inside the bar area. We sat in the dining behind the wall of the bar. Table for two right next to the window. Excuse us, we didn't take pics of the food. Our burgers and fries, mmhhm.. good. Love and order an appetizer a piece. We try something new! I knew what it was. He did not, but I never ate it. Why not pop this cherry together. Potato latkes, usually potato pancakes and raw salmon with a side of sour cream. 😁 I like it. I would rather have small slices of salmon. It was still good to me. The outdoor seating looked to be bustling it was a beautiful day.

Great food and service; it is always our first choice when spending a fun day in lower Manhattan. My older son swears the burger is the best in NY and my younger son loves the steak. Salads and apps are my favorite, and of course the mac and cheese is loved by all!

Great after work spot for bar seats or a table. A bit loud for a date. But the wings are some of the best I've had. Jumbo 12 for 14 bucks. And some great drink choices!

Food here is not very tasty. They forgot to bring bread I ordered as side dish and brought it after urgency in the midle of dinner. They offer nice beer.

Blackened red snapper on pumpernickel is a good choice, not much spice could use a bit more. Turkey sandwich is also good, plenty of turkey on toast. Wings are OK, and the pita hamburger is an also ok. All in all the blackened snapper was the best choice.
t diamond - 6 months ago

The smoked salmon sandwich was perfect for a hot summer day. Split the wings and they were perfectly crisp. Thankful for fast seating even on a busy Tuesday afternoon rush. Even my friend who had some dietary restrictions they were very attentive and kind to her charcuterie option. Can’t wait to come back

I came here because of the recommendation and it totally met my expectation. The salad was fresh and filling. They let me keep the coasters for souvenirs.

Its an amazing place. And it has enough reviews and does not any validation from me. But I must say that it is a must visit place of you here in NYC. It has the right vibes and right people, also the right food. We met the owner, she is a lovely lady. I also got the chance to post a lovely message to my little daughter, without her this trip was incomplete. So I am coming back with her.

Good times and great bartender - she made sure we liked our drinks and the pour was generous! Super low key and great environment to chat and hangout. They got tasty beers on tap and a good selection of wine! My new favorite bar spot in town

Had a really nice date here. I hadn’t been but it seemed to have nice low lighting and chill vibes so I knew I’d be able to score a kiss at the bar, a great think to do in New York City. I picked this bar with confidence and pretended I’d been before. And I heard ( which was true) they play movies on a projector, so I was confident I could comment on that if the conversation lulled. Bar tender was great a nice young lady

Was early for work by about an hour so I decided to stop here and load up on caffeine. The place itself is well taken care of and they care about TV the customers as you can see from the pictures of the signs. The manager I was told has hobby of collecting coffee mugs but unfortunately they are not for sale. The coffee is good and fresh especially in the morning. Was able to charge my phone without an issue and they do ask for proof of vaccinations before dining in which reasonable because it is a private business. Would recommend and come back here again
Drago Musevini - 3 years ago

Now, seriously… Ever been to one of this here relatively unknown newfangled 🇺🇸 cafe kinda locations with the peculiar nomenclature “Starbucks”? Huh? 🤔 Nope… It’s, like, not a Seattle or Portland or San Francisco thingy… Nor Austin nor Boston nor Nawlins… Nawww… Welp… Yup… Fuggedit… Guess you never heard of it, yo… 💥 Ok 🤦🏻‍♂️… yeah yeah, stop 🛑 reading… just… stop… the reading… *mic drop* 🍵 ☕️ 🍰 🤷🏻‍♂️ **Sheesh! So dang serious, these peeps. Live a little, eh?! 🙄**

Update #3 (11/10/21): Thank you so much for keeping up the barriers during this season & keeping dining in safe, selling the ASL Starbucks product alongside of the classy holiday goodies, being gender affirming, as well as making me the prettiest holiday drink I've ever seen & with such warmth. I will be in gone for a while, so this is such a sweet treat after many hard days. You are my safe place. Much love & Happy Holidays & Happy New Year! Update #2 (10/25/21): I have been not going to any Starbucks near me lately (due to local law) but this one, in NYC, I adore. For one, they take the safety of their patrons seriously, since they adopt NYC law where you MUST have proof of vaccination against COVID-19 in order to dine in & that they require you where a mask indoors regardless to protect those who are dining in safe unless you are fully vaccinated. That means a lot to the immune compromised like myself. And more over, once again, the Baristas and staff are very friendly & treat you & your order kindly & with detail, even if something goes wrong in the app! You can also trust me since I'm a soy milk guy (due to good ol' lactose intolerance). This is the only Starbucks that has earned my trust solidly after a long absence & look around. Thank you everyone! Update #1 (March 2021): Baristas and staff are friendly & patient. Even though you can't dine in at the moment (for obvious reasons), the staff and well-crafted drinks bring me back. :) Original Review: Nice Starbucks. Always get the drinks right. Just don't try to go to the bathroom unless you want to wait for 20 minutes lol. That's a pretty consistent thing.

I had the most delightful experience at Lupe’s! The restaurant’s cozy decor and light, breezy atmosphere create a welcoming escape in the heart of NYC. Salvator, my server, offered spot-on recommendations, guiding me to try the chile rellenos—which were absolutely to die for! The house-made guacamole and salsa were incredibly fresh, and I finished the meal with a heavenly flan. Salvator was not only knowledgeable but also wonderfully warm, making me feel like we were old friends catching up. Lupe’s long-standing presence in the city shines through in every detail. I can’t recommend this gem enough!

Stopped here our first night in NYC. The food was great and the prices were affordable for NYC. My wife loved the music and atmosphere. We walked by a couple days later for breakfast and they were closed :(
Kevin Dennis - a month ago

I went to Lupes last week for the first time and was blown away by how delicious the food was. I went back again this week! Everything here tastes super fresh because it’s made in-house. The salsas are amazing. My favorite is the cheese and spinach enchiladas which I get “Christmas style”, one with red sauce and one with green sauce. My hubby got a burrito and said it was just like the ones he gets in Cali (he goes there for work a lot). Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves delicious Mexican food.
Gurleen - 2 years ago

Lupe’s has been around forever —35 years-plus— which is the mark of quality in NYC. I eat here every chance I get and it’s one of the rare Mexican restaurants in the city that can squash my snobby Californian friends’ disregard for east coast Mexican food. All of the comida on the menu is legit and the drinks are great too. Don’t sleep on this place if you’re after some awesome Mexican fare.
James Mielke - 9 months ago

I've been eating at Lupe's since I was a kid and it's consistently amazing. Their burritos are in my Top 3 favorite dishes in the city and I've taken countless friends, from NYC and out of town, to eat here; every single one of them has been thoroughly impressed and now immediately suggests Lupe's when we hang out. Their fresh juices are also incredible, as well as their plantains and homemade chips and salsa. I can't say I've tried a lot of their menu as I mostly stick to burritos and brunch dishes (they're too good to ever experiment with other things!) but my friends have also really enjoyed the enchiladas and nachos. Oh, and they're very vegan friendly and decently gluten-free friendly!
