Sunday midday I went to grab some lunch at Brookfield. I was surprised to find no lines. The only…read moreserver was super helpful. I made my own bowl with 3-choice veggies as base ( cauliflower, chard broccoli, and glazed carrots) & spacey chicken as protein choice. I was surprised at the generous portion. Veggies were nicely prepared, seasoned, & the chicken pieces were tender. The only thing with this type of food is that it's always lukewarm. I would prefer it much warmer. Brookfield upstairs offers stunning views of the harbor.

While the labor economics of Herman Melville's day haven't changed much, thankfully there are some tastier options in the area these days to help alleviate the scrivener's woes. As far as I am concerned, Tartinery's warm rice bowl is the superior option in this genre. It includes a perfectly runny soft poached egg, a rich lemon vinaigrette, crispy roasted potatoes, and just the right amount of wild rice and lentils so that the meal is not overly heavy for lunch. This is also one of the few places I eat at where they know my name, so kudos for that.

It is essential to highlight that the meal options and their presentation were delightful. I…read moreenjoyed the smashed avocado and creamy burrata tartine. Both the cashier and the individual who prepared my meal were charming. However, this establishment should evaluate one of their employees and assess his attitude. Numerous other reviews mention his unpleasant demeanor. After completing my purchase, I proceeded to an empty table that had a menu on it. I removed the menu and placed it on a nearby table that was marked with a "Reserved" sign. It is worth noting that several other tables also had a "RESERVED" sign, except for this one. A short Hispanic/Latino male wearing glasses approached me and stated, "Ma'am, this menu is on the table because it is reserved for Happy Hour." He returned the menu and walked away without offering me an alternative seating option, leaving me to wonder about his purpose. It was only after I asked him for the third time, "Should I look for tables that are completely empty?" that he replied, "Yes," in a clearly irritated tone. I apologize for being such an inconvenience to you, Sir. It seems this employee has lost sight of his responsibilities. His tone, behavior, and demeanor were entirely inappropriate and unnecessary. He exhibited rudeness and a lack of professionalism. Such conduct is a blatant display of disrespect and overshadows the quality of the food and the pleasantness of the other staff members. In conclusion, there are numerous other excellent options available at Hudson Eats. I recommend that you consider skipping this location of Tartinery.

Eataly at the World Trade Center is an Italian food marketplace that operates simultaneously as a…read moregrocery, a restaurant, a bakery, a cheese counter, a wine shop, and a cafe, and the scale of what it attempts is part of what makes the place feel like its own category rather than just a large Italian restaurant. I walked in and the density of product and the activity across every section created an energy that is particular to this format and difficult to replicate elsewhere in the city. The dining options inside are divided across different counters and restaurants. La Pizza and La Pasta is the one most people gravitate toward for a sit down meal. I ordered the wood fired pizza, which had a light, properly charred crust, and the toppings were handled with the restraint that good Italian cooking tends to favor. The gelato and the pistachio croissant from the bakery counter are among the most talked about items outside of the main restaurant. I tried the pistachio croissant and understood why it sells out; timing is required to find it in stock. The market section is open throughout the day and accessible without a wait, which makes it a viable option for picking up Italian groceries, imported cheeses, cured meats, or a quick espresso even when the restaurants are at capacity. For a food focused destination that blends retail and dining seamlessly, Eataly at the World Trade Center delivers a unique and energetic Italian experience.

Place was clean, cashier was friendly enough and I did my ordering on the kiosk. I was actually there for the happy hour special. I got the value one for $23 which is one app + one main + one drink. I wound up getting the shrimp dumplings (6 in an order) + pork and preserved mustard veg over rice noodle + a soda can and wound up saving $5. There is also a premium $26 special which allows you to get higher priced items. Portion size was fair to good esp on the main. They ask what kind of spicy and I said medium and that was spicy enough for me. No bathroom. They charge tax. Ample seating and sauces available. The dumplings were boiled but some frying on the bottom. Thick skinned. Average. Note only financial district has happy hr combos.
