    I went to Faces and Names for happy hour while in NYC for work and this establishment is a very cute hidden gem. It was getting busy when our party of 7 arrived and we were escorted to a comfortable spot in the back. The drinks were good but the service was kind of slow. I would definitely give them another try the next time I'm in the area.

    This is a nice weather review. Why go to a rooftop bar and pay rooftop prices when you can get fresh air and a nice drink. When the weather gets nice, this place gets a whole new review from the perspective of someone who appreciates nice weather. The service is excellent. As long as you have a group consensus, you can get them to open up the windows. It has the same feeling as a rooftop bar, with a closer view of pedestrians. It makes for a good people watching spot. The food here isn't the main draw, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. As far as low key bars go, this place deserves an A+. Even on a Monday. Jayne and Taylor will hook you up. They are amazing. I love this place and I think you will too.

    Screwdriver for my appetizer! Grabbing a bite to eat in New York.

    We came to this restaurant while in New York. We started with a portion of pretzel bites with mustard and some adult beverages. The pretzels were baked and not fried which is the sign of a good appetizer! The server was attentive to our needs. The restaurant was not too loud which was perfect for conversation with my husband especially after the hustle and bustle outside. The food was great! I thoroughly enjoyed my ground beef sliders and he loved his chicken sandwich. I would definitely recommend this restaurant especially if the line is down the street at Ellen's Stardust Diner.

    Mozzarella Bites

    We were looking for a spot to grab food before heading to Radio City Music Hall for a concert. This bar is located just a few blocks away, a quick 10 min walk. We tried the Fried Mozzarella Balls which my niece loved. Reminded her of a mozzarella stick. The Fresh cut French fries are one of the best, seriously super good crispy yet soft fries. I tried the Mini burgers without a bun, they were pretty good, but were missing the pickles that it was suppose to come with. I'm sure these are delicious with their potato bun, sadly not gluten free. The Mini Mushroom Tacos are fire, be sure to try these. They only come on flour tortillas, so definitely not gluten free. The food was really good! A great spot for dinner! The cocktails are delicious too! I had a spicy Margarita and a spicy Paloma! The service is fantastic! Very friendly and welcoming. Great vibes, played fun music, and pretty spacious. This bar is kid friendly until 8pm. I would definitely recommend this spot for food and drinks, it was an overall great experience.

    Ambiance - 3/5 Plain n simple but clean Food - 3.75/5 based on what I got Service - 4/5 We stopped here to watch the super bowl as it was close to our hotel. They had superb bowl specials and a available seats so it was a win for us. I asked the bartender what was good to eat ans he said the tacos. They did not disappoint! Loved them and it was a GOOD! portion. I don't know what else is good but for my first time I was quite satisfied!

    This place has so many drinks and plenty of options for a casual lunch or dinner with friends! The drinks are a bit on a sweeter side but really like the ones with the citrus. For apps I really liked the portion of mini tacos which is great for sharing and as usual wings are always a win. The fries and burger were pretty standard and filling. I was surprised by one of their cake slices that was very tasty and flavorful compared to the other two kinds. The chocolate was the best and richest. Service was nice, the lady who handled our party of 7 was really patient with us and made sure we got everything. The ambience is pretty relaxed and the back area is really nice and much more open than the front area. This place really is ideal for apps and drinks! with a group of 4-5!

    Came here for superbowl, honestly super cool decor, good vibes, nice staff, managed to kill 3 bottles of wine between 3 people so we clearly had fun. Would def come back. Fries were a yummy snack for the table

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap Sandwich
    Michelle W.

    During my friends and I quick trip to New York we were recommended this place by a staff member at our hotel. The restaurant was dimly lit. A nice size bar and a good amount of tables to dine at. We sat at the bar and was served promptly. My buffalo chicken wrap was ok not the best in my opinion. The fries were perfectly seasoned. I did try my friend quesadilla and it was very good! The drinks were good and strong! If I am back in the city I will definitely return!

There is currently construction and scaffolding in front of the place, but you'll see signage where to go at the opening of the scaffolding. We walked in, past the bar and checked in. We were seated within 5 minutes. I ordered a bourbon old-fashioned and we ordered crab rangoon as a starter. There were a lot of them and the sweet chili sauce was great. For my entree, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and a side of buttered broccoli. The vodka rigatoni was really good - liked the flavor and a decent size of pasta. The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.

We asked if we were able to just sit at a table for drinks, she said yes. The wine selection was minimal and not good, but we ordered 2 glasses anyway. We asked the server if we could order bread for our son. He said "I'll bring bread after you order food." We told him we were only there for drinks but were happy to pay for a bread order. He begrudgingly said okay. After being there 10 minutes, we decided we wanted an appetizer so went for the tuna crudo. Not did it taste awful, it didn't even look appealing. It also oddly came out with a massive piece of grilled bread?! Bizarre combo. Do yourself a favor and just sit in Bryant Park, don't waste your money here.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.

We loved it so much we went back and second time for dinner. The first night we sat at the bar (it was crowded and we didn't have reservations) and made some friends who recommended Ivan's (the bartender) espresso martinis. Although we were drinking some white wine we decided after finishing those we would try them. Ivan makes them special with a little Bailey's! They were incredible! Like a dessert but not too sweet. Ivan shared his recommendations with us and we had some good conversation. We ordered a pasta dish with shrimp and Brussels salad as well. All very tasty. A couple of nights later we went back and had the rigatoni with red sauce which was phenomenal and our favorite and the Toscana salad, also great. The pastas taste homemade and everything is so fresh, including the bread. We of course ordered espresso martinis again and Ivan thought it might be us again and came by to say hi. He makes the restaurant feel like family! I will definitely be returning to this restaurant in my next visit. It is now my favorite restaurant in New York! Thank you so much Ivan!

I sat at the bar and ordered a simple pasta with red sauce, some meatballs, and broccolini. The pasta was perfectly al dente and absorbed the red sauce nicely. I appreciate that I was not offered grated cheese or fresh ground pepper. It was served as the chef intended, showing off the tomatoes, accented only by the herbs and spices. It was not too oily either, if anything it could have had a touch more, but again this let the tomatoes come through. The pork and beef. meatballs are dense and served in a thickened tomato sauce. The bread that comes with it is nice for finishing that gorgeous sauce which does have a sprinkling of parm. The broccolini had a a touch of garlic and served with a lemon. You can judge a restaurant by its guests. The other solo diners beside me were locals, there for the food. Next time I'll try the vodka sauce with burrata.
