Best NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 34th Street – Herald Square Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

There is a reason this place is a classic. Keens is a great place to celebrate. They are surprisingly large with multiple floors with separate rooms which makes things feel more private. They have excellent steak, and all the appetizers are amazing. Their customer service is top notch. There was a guy in our room who had a medical emergency, and they calmly got him out before most of the diners had noticed anything was wrong.

Hands down, the best steak in NYC. If you wish to go there for dinner, make reservations. You can also go for the bar area (that is not less charming) where they have the first come first serve policy. Great menu with selection of meats and sea-food (however I focused on the meat so far). The boiled baby potatoes side dish is too good to not order every time you are there.

Amazing experience. This was one of my top restaurant visits I've had. The meal was unbelievably great, the wine was great, and the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. The atmosphere was incredible filled with tons of history and artifacts. I can't say enough about how great my visit is. I'm very much looking forward to visiting again!

Always wanted to try the legendary Keens Steakhouse and finally got my chance. The service is absolute top notch, you cannot expect anything better. The only reason I was hesitant to leave a full 5 stars is my mutton chop was not seasoned very well. Hopefully not a common occurrence at an otherwise fine establishment. We also had the surf and turf and again the steak was under seasoned.

Worth the 176 mile ride. Best steakhouse I’ve ever been to. Mutton chop was outstanding, the atmosphere was amazing, the service was top notch. The building itself has a great history, ask the staff about they’ll be happy to share. We sat in the Abraham Lincoln Room. I will return. Please do yourself a favor and go.

I used to come here once a week with my sister. It has good food and the staff are usually on top of it even when they're super busy. I tend to get stews here but I also tried the noodles and the spicy chicken dish (I don't know how to spell them in English). They've all been decent although as I always say none of this Korean food in America compares to what it actually tastes like back in the Motherland. It's still very good for what you can get in NYC.

This restaurant serves made on site Tofu, which is simply delicious. The soup was pure comfort, I enjoyed every bit of it. The mixed grain rice was just the perfect texture and the pancakes were delightfully fluffy. I will definitely be back for more... Highly recommend!

Try the spicy baby octopus & beef, the don't hold back on the spice! The pan fried scallion and seafood pancake was also very tasted. Expect a short wait but for the unlimited banchans and quality Korean food this place is worth it!

This is the best restaurant in Manhattan. Get the lunch special soon doo boo. Get the seafood soup. The house made tofu is to die for. Get as much of it as they’ll give you.

Very good Korean Food. As a vegetarian, it was good to see options available. I ended up in hot bowl veggie Bibimbap. Would highly recommend this place if someone if looking for korean food.

I went here for restaurant week and got the seafood pancake, and spicy cod/seafood soup. It was very filling and delicious. I was impressed how knowledgeable my waitress was about gluten free options. She informed me on what was made with rice flour and what was made with wheat and even informed me of what had dairy. Overall the meal and atmosphere was great.

Atmosphere is amazing. The dishes had a bit too much garnish. Otherwise extremely pleasant dining experience. The view cannot be beaten. The decor is also unmatched.

Julian Rafael Hassan Roden - 25 days ago

Only for photos. Food taste very sweet and ingredients are not worth the price. Interior is good and services are ok. If you just want a light and American-Korean food. Not really worth going if you are a huge fan of authentic Korean.

Absolutely beautiful classy restaurant with great food and ambiance! I would recommend everyone to try it out! Good for a date, or group dinner.

When we first walked in, we almost didn’t stay because we weren’t sure how it would be. So Glad we stayed!!!! The food was delicious, the service was great as well. We had our 11 year old daughter with us and she loved the food as well!! Thanks for the great service, wonderfully mixed drinks and food.

Good restaurant and bar, had a good time here. Enjoyed the food and drinks, waitress was nice and service was good. Enjoyed looking at the autographed baseballs and whatnot on the wall. Would recommend and will go back when I need to meet up with someone in this Penn Station area for drinks and some food.

Nice spot to catch a game and have a couple of drinks. Didn't get too crowded when I was there. Nice bartenders!!

Proper Irish baseball pub. Decent stake. And the guy taking orders let us in on some cool history about the pub which was cool. Great place to catch some games with some good beer.

zeeshan ali - 1 month ago

A sports bar, yes - BUT it didn't have that vibe. The decor was kitchy with loads of baseball memorabilia. I thought that was fun. The drinks were midtown priced, the nachos were HUGE and were - midtown priced. The location can't be beat for subway access - since it is close to all the Penn Station / Herald Square lines. With the Empire State Building across the street, i expected the place to be packed, but it wasn't....comfortably full. There are several "similar" pubs on the street, in a row. I would bring someone here from out of town.

Terrific Irish pub. Very traditional. Fast efficient service, friendly staff, delicious food. No credit cards accepted, but there is an ATM inside. When our waitress saw me use the ATM she took $3.50 off the bill to accommodate the ATM fee. Would definitely recommend this place for a warm, relatively quiet, delicious bite to eat within a 2 minute walk from Penn station.

Excellent ambiance. Intriguing menu. The food was very well prepared. Wine was superb. Bartender really made me feel at home. Regarding my food order she was highly mindful of my food allergies. I really appreciated that.

The restaurant is located inside Macy's store. The food was very tasty. A nice view of the Empire State Building. Nice atmosphere, open fire pizza oven. In the middle of the restaurant it is a wide open space with long bar with a bunch of stools. It looks elegant. Cons: This place is run by very unprofessional supervisor (manager). Because of him everyone else looks unprofessional.

Math Tutor - 10 days ago

This is the a fabulous restaurant in Macy's. First, the room is lovely with large windows letting in light. Tables are spaced well apart for comfort. I always enjoy my dishes there, especially the appetizers such as the meatballs and octopus. The salads are varied and large. Since I go for lunch I rarely have the entrees, but if they are like the rest of the menu, they're excellent and reliable. In addition, there is a well stocked bar. One warning. Because the food is excellent and the prices reasonable, I suggest making a reservation when you hit the store. It is popular and crowdes.

I love Macy’s. Well worth the visit. The department stores in New York are still as vibrant as ever. The cafe Stella has an open airy feeling, great bar and food.

Ann McAllister - 9 days ago

Surprisingly delicious. Very accommodating to families with children. The matre'de was a delightful young woman. I want to thank the manager and waiters for their wonderful levels of understanding with my son who became sick. I recommend and sing Stella 34's praises!

Good selection of beer, but can take a while to be noticed. Even sitting at the bar I was always screaming to get a bartenders attention. Surprisingly good food though - loved the dumplings.

Stout is awesome! Great fun place in NYC. Drinks are great, the buffalo calamari is to die for, and our meals were great! Huge downstairs but not sure if that’s just for private events! Really fun place

I just stopped in for a drink, But what I saw was great food like their chicken wings and their chips And guacamole... Can't wait to go back and eat there. Plus the waitress was great.

I'm not a fan bars or pubs. Probably haven't been to the range right one. So I wasn't thrilled about this one generally, and the bathrooms lack hand towels and disposable seat covers which are both needed for the sake of customer hygiene. As evidenced in my visit. But the wait staff here is remarkable. Amazing. I actually had a good time. Just the way they interact with customers is great. Amazingly personable, attentive but not nagging, and very oriented towards the customer experience. I drank water all night at an open bar and complimentary food event, and I still left a tip when I left. The security was respectful and professional too. In this city you grow to appreciate things like this. I may not go back very often but if I had to choose a bar /pub I would choose this one. The owners are doing something very right.

Large beer selection. Food was also really good - chicken tenders were so moist! Fun place to go for a happy hour.

I love this bar. I've been here twice. It's a great not overcrowded place. They didn't cram in a million tables like so many NYC places do. As far as food goes keep it simple and fried and you're going to like it.

Good spot to stop prior to heading into the Madison Square Garden. It's literally stumbling distance! Grabite or drink or another drink...Good value, good service. Fun part is they play the music or artist music prior to concerts at the Garden to help build anticipation of your show.

Food is perfect. Nice seating area. Helpful professional staff. Very decent price. They have delicious pizza as well as sushi, baked fish, soups. I’d say their pizza is one of the best kosher pizza in New York

Moshe Landau - 27 days ago

The most delicious pizza I have ever had! Good service. Reasonable prices.

Michali M - 23 days ago

The pizza was okay, nothing to write home about. I ordered two different slices and both were out for a bit too long and overdone. The crusts were already burnt by the time I got them. Honestly, it wasn't all that bad and normally I would have left four stars. The part that really got me was the service. After spending over $30 for two people, I asked them to refill the water in my tea. The guy then tells me it will be an additional $0.50 (after I already paid over $3 for a cup of hot water and a tea bag.) To me, that's poor service. Water doesn't cost you anything. Why would you charge me to freshen my cup. At any rate, I hand him my credit card. When he asks me for cash and I explain that I don't carry any, he tells me it will be $1 since it would be silly to charge a card $0.50. I didn't argue but feel that they should really work on the service. For $1 you lost a customer for life.

I was searching for kosher restaurants near our office for a meeting of 15+ people. I looked at various options and their reviews but was not content with the results given that we were looking for something aside sandwiches. I am glad I came across Jerusalem Cafe. I took the time to read the reviews as I usually do and although it had some bad reviews, their reasoning was a bit exaggerated to me. What is important to me is the customer service and if the price matches the quality of the food. Food will be pricey as most things are in NYC but I do not mind if the quality has to show for it. I gave them a call to understand their catering menu the day before. the gentleman was very polite and understanding and to my surprise I could order the next morning if I was not ready to do so, unlike most other places, need 24 hours in advance and for simple as sandwiches. I placed my order the next morning and was hoping the food was good given it was for a large quantity of team members and have never ordered Kosher Pizza nor pasta in the past. I was not disappointed. The team felt the same. I ordered the Pizza catering option #2 and #3, with Falafa, ceasar salad and Tanihi plus an order of pasta and a small fruit side. Will definitely be ordering from them again for our future meetings. Not to mentioned it is snowing with sleek rain today and the delivery guys walked with our food in this weather. I will say, they prefer you order online for deliveries vs calling to ensure the order is as you request it and for them to not make an error. Since you have to pay online, you also have to provide the tip online when you are cashing out. You cannot do like other places, add the tip when they take you the receipt to sign.

A hidden gem where the vibe is perfect for watching sports or having dinner with friends or family. Very comfortable and cozy in the wintertime. Sometimes, the service is less than desired but overall, we have had a great experience at this pub.

Greg Gonzalez - 1 month ago

Great bar that is walking distance from MSG but far enough away that it is not over crowded when there is an event on. The food is pub food, nothing spectacular, just regular pub food. I sat at the bar, service was I little slow though that was likely due to it being busy. I would recommend this place for a quick beer and dinner but not necessarily a destination to seek out.

Paul Younis - 2 months ago

Friendly staff. We got there late. Kitchen was going to close in 20 minutes. We have been servers before and know how much that sucks, but the staff assured us that it was fine and not an inconvenience for the kitchen staff. We had cheese sticks and French onion soup. Both were good. Beer was a little warm, but I think I had one that was not popular. Guinness was good. A good hole in the wall bar and seemed like a local hangout. If you want a decent watering hole it's not a bad choice. Just don't expect the Ritz...

Nice atmosphere! Had a group of 50+, they took orders and served quickly! Had a limited group menu to order from, which helped. Would visit again!
