We had the fried chicken Benedict and the crab cake Benedict. I was a bit confused when I saw that each Benedict dish only had one poached egg - shouldn't it always be two? I guess that's shrinkflation (plus inflation) for you. That bent said, the crab cake was actually really big and filling. The side of potatoes were really delicious. Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.

Visited on my way to see Lady Gaga at MSG, and this was the perfect spot! The interior is gorgeous…read morewith lots of gold and has a very mid-century modern feel that I absolutely love. The staff was very welcoming and just as excited as all the fans headed to the concert, who clearly made up the majority of the patrons. They offered custom cocktails themed for the concert, including my favorite, "Wine With A Smile"--a drink Lady Gaga herself loves, built on red wine, diet coke, and maraschino cherries. They also had a wonderful espresso martini, a bacon & fig old fashioned, and made a solid dirty martini. The slider stack was absolutely delicious and so filling that it ended up being the only food option we got. I will certainly be back when attending any event at MSG in the future!

After a full day of wandering the city with friends, we stopped by Bourbon and Branch for a drink…read morebefore heading to the train station to go home. We sat at the bar upstairs and it was pretty empty. It was nice having the place to ourselves. The cool thing is that they have happy hour on Sundays. Therefore, that is what I went with. I got the margarita off the happy hour menu. Eventually, one margarita turned into two. Our bartender was nice. I didn't try any food here, but I'd love to come back. As a person who loves bourbon and whiskey, I'd like to come back and try some of their bourbon based cocktails. Bourbon and Branch seems like a really cool spot and it's not far from Penn Station. I'll definitely keep it in mind next time I hit the city.

Figured it's been a year so I'd update my review. Overall the Corner Store is still hard to get…read moreinto and still worth the hype, although portions have definitely shrunk. Did an earlier dinner on a Saturday with a friend at the bar. We got some similar items, some different. The thing I kept the same was my martinis and all three (sour cream and onion, tomato, and espresso) were just as amazing as ever. Food-wise, I stuck mainly to the classics with one new dish: - Pizza rolls: Very good but 3 pizza rolls for $20 felt small to me. I feel like I remember seeing others served more when I've gone in the past, but not completely sure. They're nostalgic and fun, nothing to die for. - Fries: Great as ever, we opted for just one of the sauces (avocado dill). - French Dip: This used to be cut in 3 pieces and now it's 2. Works well with a duo but I do think it's actually a little smaller now than before when I compare photos. - Samoa sundae: Still amazing, still so so worth. It was fun going with a friend who hadn't been before and seeing the joy upon trying the dish! Bar service is friendly as always and they do a decent job moving you along to ensure the necessary turnover without feeling too rushed.

We were thrilled! Started with the sour cream & onion martini which i enjoyed and comes with a small side of chips. The musts: The caesar salad is outstanding. Tons of cheese. The fried cream cheese croquettes. The everything bagel croutons! The five cheese pizza rolls -yes! Wagyu French Dip served with au jous - outstanding Lobster & Caviar Roll Sour cream & onion martini Ok: French fries are fine. A little salty. Saoma sundae - lots of coconut Skip: Spinach & Artichoke Dip - meh. Had better at Applebees. The sauce trio for the fries - all were too salty. The service is outstanding. Everything was on point even though we sat at the bar. The attention to detail is great. Our course were staggered and we never felt rushed. Now is it worth showing up 2+ hour in advance hoping to get in. I don't think so. Once they hype dies down and you can book a reservation check it out.

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.

The Benedict was so delicious. I've never had it on a crispy hash brown type before. It was good and a massive portion. Mac and cheese was alright, though I would probably opt out of it next time. I was so full I totally forgot to drink my latte but the latte was good too. Ambiance was nice clean and very busy.

Went to Zou Zou's for a little bday celebration with gfs and had a great time. Not to mention,…read morethere was such a sweet little bday care when we got to the table. So thoughtful, and such a great touch to start the evening for us. We decided to order the family style menu and we enjoyed the whole dinner. All of the dishes on the menu were really good and great price for $74pp. I wish we had a 4th in our party so we couldve had the duck, but we'll definitely be returning to do so. The dips were so good and so fresh! I think all of the dishes were perfectly seasoned. I get sad when dishes are overly seasoned or overly salty. Oh, and im not much of a sweet tooth, but their dessert was marvelous and the sweetness was balanced so nicely.

Came back here for dinner largely to get the cheesecake. It's certainly unique and huge - both this…read moreand the caramelized pineapple could feed 4 people each. The cheese is on the lighter side and the textural combination is nice, sort of like a baklava cheesecake but crispier and lighter. I like heavier cheesecakes though. Drinks: golden negroni was spot on, but didn't like the sangria. They had a medjool cocktail that went off the menu to my disappointment. Appetizers: the octopus carpaccio was the best and I'd order again. The tuna tartare was a little too heavy on the sauce flavor, and the golden beets were unmemorable. The yellowtail was good I think, but didn't stand out either. Mains: the duck borek has more of a sausage like meat texture. I thought it was decent but the meat being duck didn't do much and I've had better boreks in Astoria. It comes with a vegetable side that is a nice offset. I tried a friend's lamb chops and this was really good with the cooked cherries.
