Wonderful staff! So wonderful to get a little insight of the history of this wonderful theater…read more Staff is very eager to share & and they've had lots of opportunities to meet all kinds of people. They really enjoy this! I don't think there was a bad seat in the house. I could see the stage very well, and my seat was very comfortable. The restrooms were centrally located. No waiting. Very tidy. I enjoyed the snack bar and merchandise tables so much. How wonderful we were able to enjoy lovely teaching a meditation from Gen-la Dekyong. She is a no deed none in the Kadampa Modern Buddhism Tradition. She is like the pope of this Buddhist tradition and she's a woman. She's a gentle woman, and she really shares her vast knowledge as one of Geshle's original students in the UNITED kingdom 40 + years of practicing education, tourism . Fun and enlightening!! Such a wonderful evening. This teaching was called "a life without fear " & she gave such profound wisdom with us all. It was nice to see a souvenir on the wall. Pictures in frames of starts that recorders and performed here. Gorgeous!!! I would love to return again.

I've been to Town Hall twice, both experiences were good/decent. The staff is incredible, everyone…read moreis really friendly from the bouncers outside to the bartenders inside. It's a straightforward theater so it's pretty easy to recognize where you need to go, but of course there is staff to help you to your seat anyway. The seats. The seats completely derail me everytime in these theaters. I'm sure there is not much that can be done as they want to keep their historical presence, but it's worse than an airplane seat. If you struggle to get comfortable in an airplane you'll surely struggle here. For a tall person, it's worse than an airplane seat, your knees WILL be in the person in front of you's neck, at least in the balcony. I am 5'8" and my legs were at an uncomfortable 45 degree angle with knees against the top of the seat in front of me. We are just built bigger than people were back then, and it makes those theaters really hard to get comfortable in. I was lucky enough to sit in the front row on my first visit, and that was much better when it comes to leg room. I didn't like the cocktail I got which was disappointing because it was $24!!!! It comes with a cute cup but it definitely wasn't worth it, I only had 3 sips. I think the bartender was heavy handed with the alcohol, which is a plus for some I guess. To be on the safe side and not waste your money, you might want to go with something that you know the taste of, like a beer or wine, but you'll still have to buy the cup (and you'll get $6 off the next pour). Overall it's a good experience, I've had a front row view and I've had a balcony view and both were great in terms of visibility.

Town Hall Deli has some really good food, especially the sloppy joes and the steak sandwich. The…read morequality of the food is definitely the reason people keep coming back, and those sandwiches are some of my favorites there. However, my experiences with customer service have been mixed. The woman with the gray hair working at the register, I'm not sure if she is the owner or manager has come across as rude toward me on multiple occasions and has given me uncomfortable looks while I'm paying. I've also personally noticed what felt like different treatment toward some Jespy clients compared to other customers coming in, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome at times she treats the Jespy clients differently. The setup for ordering subs can also be a little confusing, especially if it's your first time there or if the deli is busy. The line and ordering process could definitely be organized a bit better. The service overall could be friendlier and more welcoming. It's also a little pricey, so I don't go there very often. That being said, the food itself is still very good and worth trying if you're in the area.

We were escorted to the 64th floor not long after. When we stepped outside, we were greeted by incredible views of lower Manhattan. We walked around the observation deck to take in some of the other vantage points. We ordered some drinks before heading to our dinner reservation. I ordered the "Easy Money" which was Vodka, Coconut, Yuzu, Lime Leaf, and Soda. I also ordered the "Cold Snap" which contained Gin, Dry Vermouth, Snap Pea, Peach, and Plum. Both cocktails were excellent. It was truly a magical experience and a must visit if you are in the area. I will definitely be back! Easy Money: 5/5 Cold Snap: 5/5

Great views of lower Manhattan. You'll enter a building (might be residential) and follow the signs for Overstory. The attendant will ask for your credit card to keep a tab and then guide you to the elevator taking you up 60+ stories. I got off and realized I was at 'Saga' - the fine dining restaurant. They were closed that day, but looked lovely. Head up to the very top and there is another narrow stairwell to climb. There you will enter a classy bar. You may choose to enjoy a drink inside or take it outside to the roof deck. They have a bar outside where you may place an order too, but I found it easier to order inside. I ordered the Hojicha Tonic (no buzz) upon suggestion from the bartender who said it was good and pretty too. ($16). Sadly, I didn't enjoy the drink. There is a huge long piece of ice in it. So, not much drink in the cup. Also, looked quite basic. No extra frill. I took one sip and felt like my heart was racing so fast. I quickly had some water and hoped this feeling would pass. I was nervous to drink more. I mostly had water and slowly sipped this drink once I felt a little better. I never finished it. The cocktails are pricey $25-32. They also serve pricey little bites too. When you are ready to leave, the process to pay is seamless since they already have your credit card on file for the tab. Just verify charges and you're on your way! Venture outside for the views. It is beautiful. Unfortunately extremely windy the day I went. It was a lot to balance a drink, flying hair, and take photos of a view. Also, you are pretty high up so careful after a few drinks lol I'm sure this would be amazing at sunset, but not sure how hard it may be to get in. At 5pm there were just a few of us, but after 6:30 it started to get very busy. I'd much rather enjoy the views when it's not super crowded. It can be hard to walk around the circular deck with too many people. Regardless, if you want to bring visitors here it is a good option to see the views and have a drink/snack. Just be aware there are stairs to climb and if you are sensitive to heights.... Staff was nice.

For my 500th five star review…read more.. Yep I'm saying this. Here we are. Street parking in NYC is tolerable. Even... civilized. Thanks to digital meters, I parked a rather large SUV (the kind that usually sends meter maids into cardiac arrest) with minimal effort. Zero drama. Time and again. The going rate per hour? The price of a passable latte. $5-$7. I'll take convenience and dignity over circling the block like a common tourist, any day. Good job, New York. For once, applause. Slow, measured applause, for getting something elegantly right.

Had to go in person since I couldn't pay online, I explain why I'm there and she cuts me off mid sentence saying "it's a systemwide issue!" With extreme attitude. I knew I was going to deal with poor manners but good grief this woman was unpleasant. It's not societies' fault this is your occupation of choice! The vile being then processed my 2 camera tickets and sent me to another woman across the lobby to pay for them. The second woman who processed my payment was very nice and pleasant: completely the opposite of the first person I dealt with. This is just a symptom of a greater disease that is state employees working in departments, and a lot of NY city workers as well. They do the bare minimum and give you a terrible attitude when it's completely unnecessary. People generally don't deserve to be treated like that, and so that's why they get this rating.

In all the years that I've traveled to NYC this is, by far, the biggest place we've ever stayed at!…read moreI don't even know why I looked in the FiDi area. I think in the decades that I've visited the city, I've only gone to Wall Street as a tourist once! Yet somehow, during my most recent searches, I came across Mint House and decided to try it out based on the reviews. And boy, we were not disappointed! Mint House is located in an art deco building right smack in the middle of the financial district. I figured it would be quiet, because what nightlife would be around that area, right? Well, it was quiet, but it was fantastic! But it wasn't quiet that nothing was happening. There were still plenty of places to go to within the area. Black Fox Café is conveniently located on the first floor of the building. And there were many food options in the same building as well. From a Michelin starred restaurant to deli. And if you fancy it, you can even head to the rooftop bar! But the real star of the place is the actual rooms of the hotel. We had so much space in our studio that we didn't know what to do with it! We asked for a studio with two beds, and we absolutely loved that the beds were not next to each other. In fact, the other bed was located in a nook far away from the other bed, making it feel like it was a two bedroom space instead of a studio! We even had a full-size kitchen and a dining table for six that we didn't need. This was the first time in the many years we've traveled to the city that we had space to not only put our luggage, but also order in food, bring home food, keep it in the fridge and throw it in the microwave when we felt like it. Mint House is the unexpected favorite place we've ever stayed at, and we cannot wait to go back!

The food was okay, but the overall experience made it worthwhile. Being able to enjoy quality time with friends and family while having fun is definitely a reason to visit.

The brunch menu prices are pretty reasonable. I came for brunch and would definitely return to try the dinner menu. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps adding a dessert to the menu for someone who likes to celebrate occasions with something sweet.

It's the first stop on the J and Z in Manhattan before going to Brooklyn. The station isn't what you would call clean but it's not as horrible. If you're in the Financial District this is convenient. Many alternative routes other than this one. This is good if you want to avoid crowds on the Wall Street MTA stations.
