During our stay at The Edison, part of the breakfast option was either grab-and-go or paying $6.50…read morefor a sit-down breakfast, so we opted to eat at Friedman's and are so glad we did. The breakfast menu has about four options, and when I asked the server what was gluten-free, she immediately let me know there were two choices. I ordered the eggs any style with potato hash, and she confirmed they have a gluten-free toaster. The toast even arrived with a gluten-free pick in it, and the food was excellent. We loved it so much we ate there for lunch later that day. They clearly label gluten-free items right on the menu. Since it was packed and we didn't have a reservation, we had to sit at the bar, which still worked out great. We shared the spinach and artichoke dip, which also came out with a gluten-free pick. They even have gluten-free beers and ciders listed on the menu, and I really enjoyed the Original Sin cider. For my main course, I ordered the Impossible burger with cheese on a gluten-free bun, and I was thrilled to find out their fries are made in a dedicated fryer. There was a brief moment when I took the pick out and a server panicked, saying "oh no, it's not gluten-free," but I let him know I had already removed the stick. Overall, the food and service were fantastic, and I would highly recommend it!

Post-Theatre Sunday matinee of seeing "Hamilton," the musical lures me for a late lunch in NYC's…read moreTheatre District. Friedman's d/b/a Gayle's Broadway Rose where there are singing servers who are struggling actors/actresses attempting to get into the acting/stage/film industry while working in the food service restaurant business. I did not experience the singing servers during my patronized visit. Upon entering the Maître d' announced "right now, we're only seating at the bar counter not at tables," so why do I see patrons sitting at booth tables? Oh! It was somewhat busy but not at full capacity for full-on hustle bustle busy. Seating for one, please. Me, myself and I. Friedman's is located adjacent to Hotel Edison and restroom facility is in the hotel's lobby. Access to Hotel Edison's facility is limited as the hotel's staff will stop all who enter as I am not a hotel guest. I believe Friedman's is very overhype, and overrated. My male server/waiter calls all the female patrons "love" which does not bother me and does not irk me at all. But please do not call me "babe", "baby", "mamma" or "mommy" as these are too sexist, outdated and stereotype in some cultures/race directed at women. Friedman's is certainly a modern American luncheonette. No comment for alcohol as I not order any. There are no business cards for keepsake. Pastrami on rye $26.00 Mustard, pickle and vinegar chips The meat heavily embedded with a lot of white fat stretched and stuck together when bitten. The meat tasted very bland lacking flavor. The pastrami is NOT brined, seasoned certainly not smoked and not a hot sandwich. It is not cured pastrami. The mustard was mild spicy which gave the meat a zesty kick for aliveness, but very minimally applied. The pickle was average. The vinegar chips were very stale and harden. The rye bread was average with caraway seeds which was blah. I am uninterested in caraway seeds. Katz's Delicatessen continues to reign supreme in pastrami on rye as the meat is excessively abundant quantity piled high and very flavorful taste without the need of mustard or mayo condiment. I prefer this sandwich accompanied with fries like Katz's Delicatessen offers. At the bottom of the sales receipt there is a suggested gratuity in intervals of 20%, 22% and 25% where customers do not have to perform math calculation. I was able to obtain my sales receipt as keepsake.

Great bagel sandwiches (sausage egg & cheese was my favorite!) and their iced coffees were amazing! They serve them in plastic/metal sealed containers so they tend to stay cold longer. I tried 3 different coffees in 3 days and they were all great! Service can be a little slow at times because it gets CROWDED in the mornings, but I won't knock them for that. Also there is only a tiny area to sit but it's NYC so that is typical.

For it being our first time, we were a little confused with the ordering process, and they were so busy that it took a while to be acknowledged. There were kiosks to place the order, but we couldn't find a place to request special requirements, so we had to figure out how we could order at the register amongst the slew of other customers. Our order for 2 bacon egg and cheeses were called with a biscoff iced latte and we were excited at first. But when we opened the sandwiches our bacon was just 3, maybe 4 fatty pieces when we specifically asked for crispy bacon. My husband settled for his, but I requested a reorder where they corrected the bacon issue, and even put more slices. Besides that snafu, I was excited for my latte, but was also underwhelmed by the taste. I assumed since it was a biscoff cookie latte (which I love) that it would be sweeter... The establishment was nice, and there were so many selections, so we would give it another try before writing it off completely.

If you have celiac or are gluten intolerant, this is definitely a must check out spot in the Hell's Kitchen area. The staff is all super friendly too and accommodating.

I had…read morepurchased two slices and paid $10.80 (inc tip) and the guy said we owed more That's when I found out each slice is $9! It would be nice if any of the signs or tags showed that information. To me, it seems a little deceptive , like those Mr Softee trucks that don't post prices so the guy just charges what he thinks you'll pay. I prefer transparency. Anyway, he rang something up again, which was fine but then he said something about refunding it, but the receipt he showed was for two sodas. A refund was unnecessary and nothing we asked for. In any event, we didn't eat the pizza. And if for some reason my charge did not go through (although it shows in my Google Pay), I'm happy to pay for the slice that I threw away. The people who work there seem nice enough and it's good that there is a gluten free option for people. Some gluten free food is pretty good but this was very dry and lacked flavor. I don't know what the cheese was but it had a powdery texture. But I'm not a gluten free expert so all I know is that this did not taste good to me. If you have a gluten free diet, give this place a shot. I wish them the best.

The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

The white wine sangria was tasty, but I regret to say my partner nor I totally loved the pizza - it was quite greasy, which made it very wet and heavy to eat.
