Best NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 7th Avenue Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

The staff and talent are wonderful, that's clearly the draw here. But the food is extremely overpriced. $25 for a veggie burger with no toppings. The cheese sauces are Velveeta, the whipped cream is cool whip, my point being that they aren't using any ingredients to justify the mark up, nor is the menu marked up to support the performers. You're still encouraged to tip the performers and gratuity is added to the bill. No matter how wonderful the performances are, it's an eating establishment FIRST. Paying over $30 for an unappetizing burger (an undercooked patty, might I add) is criminal. They are so popular, they can afford to mark up their food so why even bother to add premium ingredients or a special sauce? Tourists will eat whatever is put in front of them as long as they're in the presence of a potential star! Someone here has to have some dignity and self respect, either the tourists or the greedy business owners who seem to be exploiting their talent for a quick buck. **The service was bad, but honestly it's bad everywhere in this city. At least you're greeted with a smile and a wave here. Average service, but the food was so bad I didn't mind that the waiter neglected to take out order for the first 20 minutes of being seated.***

One of the highlights of the trip. We could have sat all day soaking up the atmosphere that the hardworking staff invoked. It really was wonderful. The food plates were abundant and served quickly. I could not help singing along and wish we could have stayed longer. The kids absolutely loved it and why visit a Broadway show when the quality of the performances in the diner were right up there to that standard. I have never experienced anything quite like it before but would highly recommend - even if, like us you have to queue in the rain to get in. Do it and you won't regret it!!

Had an absolute blast at Ellen's Stardust Diner on Broadway! 🌟 This place is not your ordinary diner; it's a whole experience wrapped up with a bow of nostalgia and Broadway flair. The singing and dancing waiters were just phenomenal - each performance was so engaging, it felt like a mini Broadway show with every order. Seriously, these talented folks could easily be on the actual Broadway stage - And some if not most of them will be! The time just flew by - I was so caught up in the performances, I hardly noticed how long we were there. And let's talk about the food for a sec - so, so good! Classic diner fare but with that extra touch of love that makes all the difference. The atmosphere was just buzzing with energy and excitement, making the whole dining experience unforgettable. I'm already planning my next visit back to Ellen's. If you're looking for a side of spectacular performances with your meal, this is the spot. Broadway magic plus delicious food? Count me in any day! 🎤🍔🎶

I almost didn’t wait in the line wrapped around the building but my aunt highly recommended it. Luckily, it went fast and the experience was one of my favorites over the weekend. One second our waitress was giving us our bill and then out of no where she’s singing Grease. Food was delicious and service was excellent.

I've never been to Las Vegas, but this was such a Vegas-like experience. Unique and unforgettable. The singing was very good and there was a variety of songs to listen to. Something for everyone to enjoy. The wait wasn't too bad. Looked long, at first, but only took about 15-20 minutes. The food was great!! I got the cinnamon roll pancakes, and I wasn't really sure what to expect, but what I received was delicious.

A bit overpriced but much nicer than other restaurants. We had a lovely time and our waiter Tony was amazing. The steak we asked for was medium rare and it was a bit too cooked (more like medium to medium well, not red in the center anymore) but we hate to send steaks back as we know they simply throw those out. Otherwise, the taste and flavors were simply fantastic. Would visit again for an occasion!

Another great Cap Grille! Wonderful service, very professional. Wonderful steaks. Tried the lamb for the first time and it was amazing. In this time of hard to hire good staff the management of the Cap Grille has done a wonderful job of hiring committed employees that sincerely care.
Rodney Klein - 4 months ago

I highly recommend this one! The food, atmosphere and service were all amazing! You can go wrong with pretty much anything on the menu but we decided in the filet, ahi tuna and sea bass. All of our meal were incredible! Oh and one of favorites was their old fashion menu! If visiting NYC check this one out for sure! You will not regret it!

Pricey but worth it. Started off with a dozen oysters and shrimp cocktail then went straight into the entree of Filet minion & Lamb Rib chops cooked to perfection with a few sides of scalloped potatoes, lobster Mac n cheese, Brussel sprouts with thick cut bacon.

You almost can never go wrong with a Capital Grille. I've been to this establishment in Midtown a number of times over the years and have always had a consistent experience all the way around. This is Capital Grille's nicest location in Manhattan, in my opinion, and a great place to hold a private lunch or dinner meeting.

Great Irish Pub and references to “How I Met Your Mother” since the creators of the show would come here every day to eat lunch and write. Ate here for lunch the day after Christmas. Food was great and drinks were good. Try the Bangers and Mash (see the photo)! TVs with sports, we watched the Liverpool match so that gets points from me as well! Definitely coming back next time I’m in New York. Good location to Times Square and Broadway. Nice bar area and an upstairs area for seating as well.

How I Met Your Mother Bar This bar is not a rebuild of the bar from the Series but more the Inspiration of the bar from the Series. Some People don’t understand that. We loved the Ambiente and the Service was a 10/10, the waitress even gave us recommends for our lasting time in New York. I can only recommend this Place and even recommend it more if you watched HIMYM
Gian Luca Orsillo - 2 months ago

It was like: “ok, at least we can say we were there”. As many people said, it’s probably a touristic trap. The prices seems to be normal but then you pay 20% fee because they are nice to you. :)) And also maybe me and my bf are blind, but we don’t think this is the place where the HIMYM was filmed. 😀
Dollores Green - a week ago

I am a big fan of the "How I met your Mother" show so I had to visit this bar which was not built after the series but it was the original inspiration for the MacLaren(the fictional bar in the show). I went with my expectations very low, just to enjoy the HIMYM motive but the drinks and the food were awesome too!
Fredy RO - 2 months ago

We really liked the christmas decorations and the atmosphere. We didn‘t felt like this was a complete himym experience but that’s okay (just as an information for the himym fans: I think you shouldn’t have too high expectations on that). The fries were yummy and the waitress friendly.

Good service and Cuban food. Great decor and atmosphere. Appetizer sampler was good but not great, but nice to try so many unique things. Very good sangria, especially the white. Ropa vieja absolutely fantastic, a must-try! Churros a nice dessert option.
Roger Hopper - in the last week

The food and dining experience lived up to its excellent reputation! The food was deliciously well seasoned and authentic Cuban. The ambience wonderful and the service impeccable. I initially reserved for 3 but when I arrived I unexpectedly encountered 2 friends. The host was so gracious and offered a larger table to accommodate 5 of us. We were served immediately and on time. We were attending a play on Broadway and had more than enough time to walk to the theater. I highly recommend Victor's Cafe and cannot wait to return to NYC.

We came here on a Saturday night before going to see a show. The location is convenient to many theaters. Our server was fantastic at being mindful of the time and food came out quickly. The atmosphere is fun and feels like you are in a tropical oasis. Another plus is that we did not need reservations, although the restaurant was very full, so we may have gotten lucky. Unfortunately, I disliked the food. I found it bland and either under or over cooked. The seafood paella lacked seasoning. I had shredded pork, which was tough rather than tender. The yuca that came with it was flavorless and mushy. We also had the appetizer sampler which was a let down. The salmon ceviche was the best dish of the night. This seems like a tourist destination. I would come back to try drinks before a show, but would avoid their food.

You walk in the lobby of the Thompson hotel. Hiding behind the Red curtain is one of the best cheese hamburgers I ever had. It doesn’t have the typical beautiful atmosphere that matches the hotel. It’s a hip spot filled with old-school graffiti all over the walls. The staff is super friendly and the services was great. The burger, fries and milkshake are signature and come in all different type of varieties. It’s a must try if you’re in the city. The hotel is located on 56 street in Midtown and there is a parking lot on the same block of the hotel.
Vacation Joe - a month ago

It was quite a challenge to locate the place. Despite having heard and read about it as one of the best burger joints in Manhattan, it wasn't easy to find. Upon reaching the restaurant, we found it to be extremely crowded. There was a queue of around 30 to 40 people and it was difficult to navigate through the restaurant due to the congestion. However, the food was worth the wait. The burgers were of decent size and the fries were also a good portion. The taste and quality of the food were amazing. I would highly recommend this place.
Sahand Farhadi - 2 months ago

Not sure if you can find here the best burger in Manhattan, but what it is a fact is that it is the best place to have it. The burgers of course are really good but the place and the atmosphere are really amazing. The best burger in Manhattan is hidden behind a red curtain. This is what I was told. And fully agree. Will be back for sure
Lucas Martin - 3 months ago

My first experience at this hidden burger joint!!!! The burgers were seasoned to perfection and fries were fresh. It’s kind of pricey; however, what do you expect living in NYC when everything is pricey!!! The staff was nice and the lines moved quickly !!! I ordered a single cheeseburger and fries. I will definitely return to the burger joint.
Neici - 4 months ago

I've never experienced anything like this! 🤤 Coolly hidden in the hotel. At first, you think you're in the wrong place! But then, behind the luxurious lobby, you discover the burger joint of your life. 🤝🏼 One of the top 3 burgers of my life (and I've had many 😅). They offer hamburgers or cheeseburgers, but done right! Incredibly juicy patties with your own choice of ingredients. It was truly amazing! 🍔🔥

Our visit to the Russian Tea Room was a standout brunch experience. I ordered the French toast, and my wife went for the two eggs with bacon and potatoes – both dishes were delicious. The tiramisu for dessert was hands down the best we've ever had. The atmosphere was fantastic, thanks to the captivating decor. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly accommodating. In a nutshell, if you're looking for great food, a cool vibe, and excellent service, the Russian Tea Room comes highly recommended.
David Warfle - 2 months ago

This is a very upscale restaurant, next to Carnegie Hall, as it corresponds. We went there for Thanksgiving. As such, the menu is semi-fixed, meaning you choose from several options for appetizer, entree and dessert. The food was indeed very good, the service very good, but I have to say that for $200/person you really expect something out of this world. And, again, this was very good but not out of this world. Otherwise, the atmosphere is fantastic, it really seems out of a movie set, both on the first floor as well as the second one. It would be interesting to try the "normal" menu and see how it fairs. Having said all this, it is certainly an icon in NY so, if you don't mind the expense, I certainly recommend it.
Peter Hey (RV PLANET) - 3 months ago

Vibes! Gorgeous atmosphere. I came for afternoon tea and decided to opt for more caviar. I think I only liked one of the caviars of the 4 offered. I also thought some of the sandwiches were a bit too heavy on blue cheese. The sweets offered were very good, scones just warm out of the oven. Overall, worth a visit!
Lisa Tsai - 3 weeks ago

Had a chance to visit during Restaurant week. Brunch cost $45 for appetizer/soup + main course. Atmosphere is 5 star, looks very posh and elegant. Could feel old, but it has its charm. Service was excellent as well. Food is mediocre, presentation looked like cafeteria food. Cost 💲, it’s definitely on more expensive side, other than restaurant week menu would be $25-30 starting for appetizers .Tea $10, beer starts from $16. Overall restaurant experience was 4/5. Definitely service and atmosphere worth your time visit at least once. But food is definitely overpriced.

My wife & I had the most amazing dining experience at the Russian Tea Room for our pre- Carnegie Hall - Orchestre de Paris with Klaus Mäkelä - dinner. We felt transported back to elegant refined pre-WW1 St Petersburg. The opulence and beauty of decor was wonderful. We loved the traditional red beet Borscht with a beef pirozhok (or fleisch perishky as my Oma made them). Our main meal of Cotelette a la Kiev and Vareniki was so delicious. And the dessert of Medovik (or Honigkuchen as we called it by my wife's wonderful aunties) with the St Petersburg tea put a beautiful finish to our dining experience. We look forward to dining again at the Russian Tea Room.

Classic venue for music in intimate setting. Waitstaff attentive without being a distraction. Food was pretty good (you need malt vinegar for fish and chips you heathens). Prices fair for drinks and food. If your favorite artist is booked here by all means go.

Fun, underground jazz bar with changing acts throughout the week. Seating is mixed between long, shared tables and individual, round ones - so be prepared for the possibility of sharing. The pianist who played the night we went was exceptional and stole the show.
Zack Austin - a month ago

Excellent place for a show and drinks with friends. See legends of Blues and up and comers, along with a host of talented musicians, play and share their stories. Get up close in this small venue. I have been going here since it was an upper west side location, and now they have been in midtown for the past 10+ years. The only downside is that their food menu used to be more exlectic and a bit better overall for nice dinner theatre experience, but the burgers are still decent. Highly recommend for music and drinks, however. Enjoy!

OMG what a great time we had! I highly recommend it! The place was perfect and the seating was not bad at all!
Carol Powers - 3 months ago

Love the “new” Iridium! It’s a better space than the old venue. I don’t know why the menu is getting grief from some people. For the NYC club scene, the prices are reasonable. We ordered and were quickly served. I had the Les Paul burger (of course), it’s a fresh huge burger not a frozen hockey puck, cooked to order a perfect medium, with a fresh brioche bun and toppings. Fries were hot and fresh as well. Not sure what some other reviews are about, or the expectations of the reviewers. What, you expect Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen, and Salt Bae as your waiter, for a $20 burger? UPDATED REVIEW: There are a number of questionable reviews for service, we went back and now they make sense. We were among the first seated. Ordered, my partner got her meal and … nothing for me. We asked the person who brought the food and they said they’d check. Then we asked the server who took our order a half hour later, and they said the order was definitely in work. And finally asked again well into the performance. Finally got dinner but the entire point is to get there early and have a meal BEFORE a show. We were never asked if we wanted drink refills. And we weren’t alone, our seat mates didn’t get their order until after I got mine, which again is strange considering all the people who arrived after we did who were served and done. It’s not fair to blame individuals, because most people go to work and do their best. But there’s a Swiss Cheese Theory of failure where multiple breakdowns have to occur. One of the problems in the modern era are that people think they’re experts on everything. I am in no way an expert on good service but a lifetime of dining at clubs like this indicate that there’s some sort of structural problem in their system, for multiple people to be involved and still result in failure for so many guests. TL;DR: it’s a great venue for live music, but dine elsewhere and don’t plan on having any more than one round of drinks. It may even be better to just go to the bar and get your own. NYC has no shortage of great restaurants and bars, avail yourselves of those choices. We don’t plan on ever dining there again.

What can I possibly say that hasn’t been said 1000 times before about Milos? An absolutely incredible restaurant from beginning to end. The food is simple and impeccable and the technique is out of this world. Everything is perfection. The staff are professional and keep just the right amount of distance. The space is gorgeous and airy, but it does get crowded and loud as to be expected but again last night was one of the best meals I’ve had in years.
David Wilson - 5 months ago

Hands down the best Greek food outside of Greece. I can never have another tomato unless it comes from Milo’s! The food is incredibly fresh and service is top notch. You’ll see that from the moment that they bring out fresh herbs and trim it for your olive oil and bread. I recommend the Greek salad, the eggplant and zucchini tower, and the grilled octopus
Jared Allen - 4 months ago

We recently dinned at Milos for our anniversary and had an excellent visit! We have dinned at Milos in Montreal but this was even better. The fish was fresh and tasted amazing. We had the Balada and it was nothing like we had ever tasted. So fresh and so moist. We will be visiting again next time we are in town.

Wow! It had been some time, since I had such delicious grilled Greek seafood. Love the freshness, quality and taste of the seafood. I recommend the oysters, salmon cooked to medium (to bring out the creaminess) and the grilled whole fish. The salmon was out of this world! Please order it as medium (never well done!) We came here twice during restaurant week! The grilled octopus (needs to be softer and less charred) and grilled squid (needs more charred and more seasoning. Am not sure stuffing it woth cheese is a good idea. Why? Because you cant char it as well on the inside) were nice (4 out of 5) but i have tasted better at other Greek or Seafood places. The walnut cake is too sweet to be soaked in honey. Just a drizzle on the side of the place is adequate.

I have been to Milos a few times and like it but I don’t love it. Food is simple, fresh and has good taste but not the most memorable. Definitely not something I crave but don’t mind going back. The space is nice and the service very good.

We went to see MJ at The Neil Simon Theater. Brown said the wings were good, Robinson had the calamari and chicken sandwich w fries. The calamari was rubbery, and grilled chicken was hard and dry. My nachos were horrible, the beef was mushy- no seasoning. I didn't understand how you can have Happy Hour drinks and not food. I won't be going back. Now the drinks he made was good.

We stopped in to get some food before we headed to the Neil Simon Theater to see MJ. They had happy hour drinks but not food that I don't understand at all. The food wasn't great - the nachos weren't good, grilled chicken was dry and hard, calamari was rubbery, but the wings were said to be good. Now, the mango margaritas he made was on point.

The fajitas are good! This restaurant is really a 3.5 in my opinion because the prices reflect the tourist/Broadway show crowd of the area. It’s fun though and good for large groups. There is also Latin dancing on Thursdays and weekends.

We had a great dinner at Bobby Van’s. We were on our way to another restaurant and saw the prix fixe menu and decided to go in. Been to Hampton location and airport, so we knew that quality would be a top notch. What a great deal for weekend dinner! Calamari with chili sauce was delicious and portion was huge. Meatball appetizer was great! My daughter’s filet mignon was amazing. Mashed potatoes and perfectly roasted medley vegetables were great accompaniments. My steak with chimachirri sauce was tasty. My husband’s short rib with risotto had lots of flavor, but risotto was little salty. Dinner came with dessert: cheese cake, brownie a la mode, sorbets were all delicious. Service was impeccable. They really know how to take care of customers. It was a pleasant, great dinner!

Wasn't supposed to go to this location, but instead, the one on 45th St. Nevertheless, because my reservation was at 9 pm and they closed at 10 pm, I sat down to eat. The restaurant was very quiet, only 5 other tables seated in the restaurant. Our server Marco G was very nice and pretty attentive. I generally won't visit a chain steakhouse in the city because there are just so many other options, but I needed something close and convenient. We ordered thick cut bacon, french onion soup, crab cocktail, lobster cocktail, meatballs, and chef bacon cheeseburger. The french onion soup had no taste/flavor. I didn't even know it had onions in it other than seeing them in the crock. The bacon was great but comes with a basalmic glaze that isn't noted on the menu. Crab cocktail was ok, nothing to really write home about. However, it was better than than the lobster cocktail. The lobster was tasteless and almost seemed that it had been sitting in water, it was overcooked. The server didn't bring a shell bowl until asked to do so. The meatballs were tasteless as well. We only ate 1.5 out of the skillet. Lastly, the burger, I paid more for the chef burger because I wanted the aged Vermont cheddar, but the cheese seemed to be one step up from a kraft single. I asked for the bacon to be well done. There was a half a slice of bacon on the burger, leaving half of the burger with no bacon. To take the cake, the burger was well done when I ordered it medium. It was dry, and I mustarded through to just a little less than half of it. When Marco asked if I wanted it boxed I explained to him that it was well done. He went over to his manager. However, when the check came, the burger was still listed. This wouldn't have been a big deal if I wasn't paying for soup that I only ate 4 /5 sips of meatballs that we only ate 1.5 of and then the burger. I am extremely disappointed if the kitchen is tired and feeling overworked than get new kitchen staff or close the restaurant. I could have honestly had a better meal at Chipotle or McDonald's. I won't be back... very disappointed on how the management handled this tonight.

Let’s face it, Bobby Van’s is an expensive restaurant for most people. Our food was good, but it was not great. I had a filet and for $60, I expect it to be perfect. For me, there was too much connective tissue and just a bit too much fat. My husband’s sirloin was good, but again, not great. The service was good, but I felt our waiter was a bit condescending and I did not feel welcome. Perhaps this is because we were not locals. In the positive side, the cauliflower mash was delightful and the poached pear we had for dessert was exquisite! I would probably not choose to dine here again but try another fine dining experience instead.
Melinda Cotton - 2 months ago

The porterhouse was cooked perfectly and was delicious. It is a dry aged steak with bold flavors. The creamy spinach is a win and great match with the steak. Tried the house cabernet and wasn’t so dry so it was very enjoyable. Shrimp was fresh and cooked nicely. Servers very friendly and service was very professional. I have come for business meals, family events and just to hangout with friends, so by experience I recommend it for any occasion
