Cranberry muffin, chocolate croissant
Justin T.

The almond pastry has a chokehold on my wallet. Bagel station orders most accurate and not a mess to eat when it's the lady behind the station, if it's one of the men staff expect to be asked multiple times what you ordered even if there's no one else before or after you. Beware the muffins: they're deliciously moist and will disappear too quickly.

Mushroom and Pepper Pizza

A really, nice, modern cafeteria. Although I'm not an employee at the hospital, I've found myself here my fair share of times to appreciate the cafe's existence when in need of a quick meal. The Tisch Cafe can easily be found by following the blue path (left of the main entrance) all of the way to the end. Inside, you'll find rows and rows of tables, chairs and booths that can accommodate quite a large crowd. The food served inside is pretty typical of what you would find outside on the streets. There are stations for made-to-order sandwiches, pasta dishes, pizzas, meat and sides and salads. If you're in need of a beverage, they have it all, whatever you're into. Free water can be acquired at a water dispenser to the right of the cafe area. I've had the opportunity to try their pizzas and salads and both were really good, especially the pizzas. Although the personal pies here don't look that big, they actually hit the spot and fill you right up with the very last bite. The fact that the hospital is located on 1st Avenue, away from much of civilization west of it, it is easy to find yourself at the cafe quite often if you're in the area. And to be honest, it's a really, really good option!

Been to a lot of hospital cafeteria's but this one is probably the cleanest and updated modern one I've seen. Prices are city prices, half a sandwich or wrap is like $3. Sushi is like $8 for a tiny roll. Drinks are $2 - $4. There's a deli station, ramen, and boston market style station for your food choices and of course pizza for those who are on a budget. Lots of outlets for plugging in and charging your phone or laptop. Some have usb ports, while others have the regular outlets. Lots of seating and tables to hangout and chill.

There is really nothing much to say about this cafe. It's in a Nyu main busking and there is not other cafeteria that you could go. Does it get the job done yes it does the sitting is good but the fod is just regular and prices are high for hospital. Went there Monday night and had stay with a friend for broken legg, I tried to get some food. Did we really like it know but it gets the craving done. I should have order form outside, I could get it cheaper and better probably. The people are bey friendly and help you right away . They do have dunkin donut coffe, which I really don't like it at all . It's convince for the people you have to stay over the night in the hospital that they could get some food in emergency if needed.

This cafeteria is made so nice. Fresh and delicious food. The prices are super reasonable. Good thing, you do not to be a patient, visitor or employee to eat at this place. It has wide windows looking at 1st ave. Extremely clean, nice staff.

Best pizza ever, and that's not a joke. The burrata pizza is heaven on a plate. Also the new taco bowls are good. Also the forbidden rice.

Had reservations for 2 on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed. We got there about three…read moreminutes late, but they seated us within 5 minutes in a booth. 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.

If you love great cocktails, this hidden speakeasy is an absolute must-visit! From entering with a…read moresecret passcode to the very last sip, the entire experience is incredible. It has easily earned a spot as one of my favorite bars of all time. The underground space flawlessly captures a raw, seedy, 1980s rock 'n' roll vibe, with eclectic decor that extends beautifully to the themed menus and custom glassware. Sitting at the bar was a highlight--the bartenders were fantastic, clearly proud of their craft, and they even humorously indulged my game of trying to guess the ingredients of each drink they mixed. The cocktail lineup is phenomenal. A few absolute highlights: the Purple Rain with its purple ice and peppercorn, the flambéed Dirty Dancing, a brilliant espresso martini riff called Flick The Bean, and Pure Temptation--which has glassware you just have to see for yourself. Don't miss this place if you're in NYC!

You need a password (easy to find online), and you go through a hidden door down a staircase. But it feels more like a novelty than anything else. NYC has way more iconic speakeasies, so this isn't somewhere I'd go out of my way for more than once. Nothing wrong with the vibe--it's Times Square, so you already know what you're getting--but it's definitely a one-and-done kind of spot. The drinks are good and super fun, but they're very extra (smoke, presentation, all that), so between that and how packed it gets, it can take a while just to get one cocktail. Didn't try the food. Overall, go for the pics and TikToks--it's perfect for that. I'd recommend checking it out once, but I don't really see it being a repeat spot.

Yass, queens and kings! Jacob's Pickles delivers on old-fashioned down home goodness. If you can't…read morefind something to eat here and it's not delicious, you are a lost cause. Seriously, there has to be something wrong with you. My sister is one of the pickiest eaters that I know. Always has been and always will be. She just started eating raw onions several years ago and still doesn't like cooked onions. Even she was able to find something at Jacob's Pickles and it delicious. With regards to the rest of what we ordered, we ordered the Hog In A Blanket as our appetizer and both my daughter and sister ordered the Grilled Salmon Salad. I ordered the Turkey Leg braised in white wine and served with whipped potatoes, Rosemary Biscuit Stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce and gravy. The Hogs in a Blanket were their version of Pigs In a Blanket. The major difference being that Jacob's Pickles are served in puff pastry and with their own house made pickles. Yummy! The salmon salad was served with baby greens, sliced oranges, red onion, cilantro and a light orange vinaigrette. Everything and I do mean everything was delicious. It was a gut-buster of a meal and everything was perfectly prepared. The salmon was expertly cooked and the turkey literally fell away from the bone and tendons of the turkey leg. Just plain old good food in an attractive homey setting wins out all of the time! It's a must go!

The biscuits and gravy came out in less than 5 mins, you would assume that's great right? Nope, it was still half cold like they just threw it in the oven for 4 mins and hoped for the best. Yeah no...half warm half cold gravy and sausage? Not the best. The smash burger was just burnt, yes i understand the concept of a smash burger you want a crisps to it but you also want meat to bite into just like a regular burger. Fries and pickles were good tho. Thankfully. The lemon chicken was pretty good but def didn't have any lemon taste to it. But that's also a personal preference so I can't knock them down for that. Overall, it's a ok place but nothing wow about them. There's plenty of other places to check out. Oh and our waiter over poured my beer and it was just dripping all over the place. A simple spill out or new glass would've been nice instead of a sticky and slippery glass. Just a thought...
