Best NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of World Trade Center Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

In NYC from Seattle on biz, and we were stunned with how fresh, how well prepared, how tasty, how excellent Pita express was. Owner was present every time we popped in... and it shows. Service outstanding. Food outstanding. need a quick, healthy, delicious meal. Dont miss it....

2.22.19 - generally not bad. The schwama was a little dry, the pita/bread was done well, the roasted veggies were nice, and the service was fast considering it's only one waitress on the floor. Sit in the back during winter or you'll catch every draft when the door opens. It gets busy for lunch and they do brisk takeout business.

Awesome, awesome food. Cozy place. To be honest, the 5 stars are really for the music there. I just wish they would turn it up a bit...

Incredible meal here. For sure the best in Manhattan - fresh, delicious, tasty food with very generous portions. Excellent value for all the food we had, every single thing was so tasty. Recommend the Mazza platter as a great app. The staff were so nice and pleasant and incredibly efficient. Owner was present and friendly too, greeting people at the lunch rush and helping to seat those who were waiting for tables. We HIGHLY recommend this place as a MUST stop for anyone visiting NYC- for those that eat kosher or not. Minutes walk away from World Trade Centre Memorial and the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Amazing people, great food, Everything on the menu is made to perfection. The shawarma is a die for and all the tasteful salads they have there. Did I mention the hummus yet, pita Express really has the best hummus in town. Highly recommend this place and thank me later. Also it’s less than 4min walk from World Trade Center.

Really nice bar/restaurant. I came across this location because of MealPal and I’ve occasionally gone back for their turkey and Swiss club sandwich. Fresh bread and good meats.

My friend took me here after her coworkers brought her there, and I LOVED the place instantly!! They have happy hour ALL DAY and night long!!! You can't find that anywhere else in Manhattan. The drinks are reasonable priced and actually made very well!! I was surprised at how well the food was made and prepared because you don't figure to have great tasting food at a bar but their menu has a little bit of everything on it and taste amazing!! They have a bunch of TVs inside and nice sitting arrangements!! If you're looking for a place just to drink or even gather with coworkers for a good place, DO NOT pass this place up!!!!

Exceptional, to say the least. Once you walk in you'll encounter the aroma of the steaks. Capturing a moment of pure bliss at the notion that you're going to eat well. What makes it better is the attentiveness of the staff. From the bartenders to the servers, they made you feel like you're spending a million bucks. However, the prices might be out of reach for some, yet, it's well worth the pampering. It's situated in a quite part of the fidi area. Blocks from the freedom tower and century 21, for shopping after dinner of course. Highly recommend the American wagyu, it's out-of-this-world. Also, a "must" is the house margarita. They use a aged tequila in some sort of barrel, all I know is I had two and thought I was king of the world. Anyhow, Go HERE, call ahead though, make reservations. If you're a local from East NY like me, use your tax return on this dinner.

Great spot. Food was good and the service was better. We had Fran as our server. She was fantastic. Beautiful decor and great music. Will definitely be back.

Love coming here. Great food and ambiance. They don’t have lobster Mac and cheese on the menu but will prepare it. Cons - Came in on Sunday for an early dinner and they were out of lobsters Last two visits, the wine glasses show paper towel traces and/or dust

One of the best CUT by Wolfgang Puck I've been to thus far. Great customer service, nice oldies playing in the background, good drinks and this steak is seared to PERFECTION!!! I will be back!

Kimberly Skinner - 11 days ago

Listen, it's not a NY steakhouse. It's a dainty LA steakhouse. The service is really nice. The atmosphere is cool. The wagyu steak is tender as can be. But the flavor of the strip, the tomahawk, and the porterhouse are lacking. It's sizzle over substance at a high price. And at the price they charge, you can do much much much much better. Sorry Wolfgang, you tried your best, but just because you can make it anywhere doesn't mean you can make it here :)

Service was very friendly. Food was good but not anything spectacular. It was affordable and acceptable. Coming from Connecticut the pizza was a little disappointing. The atmosphere was very neat with windows looking over St Paul's church. The deli downstairs looked really good and I am interested in trying the deli downstairs

Visiting and looked for a place to eat so we walked into SDD and were greeted with New York accents and kind words. Loved the staff there and were happy for a very pleasant meal. Felt like a true New York experience! Highly recommend this great place

Devon Pruden - 3 months ago

Busy, but very good. The waiters were very kind and quick despite the amount of people there. Very cute and with a nice view. The pizza was very good as well - we didn't even end up taking any home, despite getting two whole pizzas.

A real New York treasure! They made me a sausage egg and cheese omelette with hash browns on a delicious roll! I got the guy to sign my 911 book. He was there to help the people that was running from the 911 attack. Stage door opened it's doors to all that tragic day. Thank you Stage Door Deli .

Great pizza 2 min from World One and WTC memorial. Service is super quick (payment took a little bite more time, unfortunately). Pizza were super good ! 2 slices feed a normal person. I definitely recommend to visit this place.

Clean, with a minimalist decor. Big cozy booths. Food came beautifully presented and well prepared. Hot beverages come at perfect temperature. Definitely will come again.

The food and customer service was great. The employees working the cashier were also very sweet. However, as my family and I were eating, an employee climbed onto a table and stood on it with his dirty shoes. He cleaned the wall, then got down and left. He didn’t even return to wipe the place he walked on. Any customer who entered and sat at that seat, would be eating on an extremely dirty and unhygienic table. If you’re thinking about coming to eat here, consider this a warning.

Tried aroma espresso bar at 100 Church St and Barclay Place for my afternoon coffee break. Delicious almond milk cappuccino served with one of aroma’s equally delicious small chocolate espresso bits. The facility is modern, bright, and cheerful with knowledgable, personable front desk staff and baristas. My only criticism is that even though they have a full kitchen serving a great array of options for breakfast, lunch, and brunch, they have almost no gluten-free breads or treats. The only things they could offer this afternoon were potato chips and some cookies that looked way too hard to eat.

Nice coffee place if you are not a Starbucks person. We went close to closing time and it was quiet. Great for couples in the evening for a cup after a good meal

Stephen Pile - 2 months ago

This place has the best cafe au lait I've ever had. I don't usually get them because I dislike brewed coffee (I prefer espresso), but I decided to do something different from my usual cappuccino, and I'm glad I did! It was not only palatable, but actually good. The prices weren't bad at all. I liked the openness of the space, and the staff was quick. I'm only visiting, but if I lived in NYC, I'd be a regular.

This is a pretty cool bar. They have happy hour specials all day. I enjoyed the rum punch. The people i was with enjoyed the food and I will be back to try their black bean burger next time. Also they have a back area for large groups and the have televisions at the bar along with tables with stools. Overall, this is a cool after work spot for drinks and good food.

Good price for most drinks. Bar was a decent size and place looked nice. Very standard bar. Looks like a good pick for the area

Andrew Vatier - 2 months ago

I really like this place. This bar is huge. There are 2 floors and both floors are spacious. The bottom floor is a great place to host an event or happy hour. The drinks are reasonably priced and there is a big food menu (which is rare at most bars). The bartenders and staff are really friendly.

Great bar for a few drinks and bar snacks. It is reasonably priced and the bar staff are great, probably the most friendly we had our entire trip. I will definitely be back next time we are in New York.

A downtown classic that has survived through the years. With a decent amount of seating, fast service and well liked staff, "Try it! You'll like it!"

We ordered pizza, wings, and soda to be delivered to our hotel. The pizza was great, and the wings were AMAZING. So hot I can remember going for multiple sips of water and soda. The sauce on the wings were very tangy. The customer service on the phone was very nice. Unfortunately, they forgot the soda the first time around but they were very nice to bring it back with no issues or concerns. I will go back to eat there while in the area.

I keep trying this place hoping it'll be better, as I'd really like to find a great place near the WTC...and I keep being underwhelmed. It's not bad, service is good... but for a $5 slice of pizza I expect more.

Adam Farrell - 12 days ago

Yummy pizza. Nice place to pop in when you have been walking all day. Great variety of delicious pizza. Small space. Very squished in with other customers. Not aesthetically pleasing, but gives you the New York experience.

The wife and I were visiting from Florida, stoped in for lunch and enjoyed everything. Grilled chicken sandwich and Burger was great but the split pea soup was awesome, but the best was the server, Sean, who we thought was the owner. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and after we got back to our hotel which was not very close we realized we left a photo so we called and within 10 minutes Sean had sent a text showing us that he sent the photo to our house in Florida, what a guy and what a great place!

Pretty cool intimate environment. Came here for a comedy show and I had a good time. Drinks were strong enough and the laughs kept coming! I believe there’s a bar upstairs but I didn’t really stay to feel out the vibe

The food was good. However the service was next to horrible. Went here for lunch last week and barely had enough time to eat...waitress took almost 15 minutes just to come and take our order. The food was good tho.

Stephanie Dixon - 2 months ago

Food was good, service was slow. And it wasn't busy, maybe it was an off day as it was Saturday afternoon. The waitress was friendly, but the wait for a couple of burger's was a bit too long. Don't know how much help this is. Enjoy!!

Sorry I have no pics. But the service and people is great. Very nice decor and environment. The food portion is disappointing. I got the steak Quesadilla; it was small and a bit salty. Also not much cheese and NO guacamole not much of anything to be honest. Overall the taste was alright

Maurice Reid - 13 days ago

Great drinks!! Mango Margarita is dangerous! Good service and good atmosphere. A bar that specializes in tequila, how could anything go wrong, lol...

Went during my lunch break during jury duty. Service was good and my waiter was very nice! Cell service is awful inside but that was only an issue because I was by myself. I got taos which were good but a little dry. The green salsa om top was also just a small drop on top which was not really enough for the whole taco. The portions were a good size!

Helen Wilkey - 2 months ago

Came here for happy hour and apps! They have a great bar downstairs where most of us stayed. Really spacious and the apps were good! My favorite was the guacamole, although it would’ve been better if it was spicier.

Best Mexican restaurant I've been to!! Great service, drinks and food, I had two appetizers nachos and guacamole and both were amazing, margaritas were great too! For the main plate I had shrimp and was really good. Finally had churros for dessert. I highly recommend it!

I did my birthday party this weekend at Manhattan Proper. The food was excellent. I ordered the family style dinner. I was given steak, chicken, and salmon and everything was very yummy. The best part of it all was I asked to have the Rangers game on and that was no problem. The place has a bunch of tvs that you can come and watch any sports game. Excellent atmosphere. The waitress was very helpfully and always asked if our table needed anything. I highly recommend Manhattan Proper.

This is an update to my previous review. Came here for an impromptu going away celebration for one of my friends. I came here knowing they had great happy hour specials, had being the key word. The bill came and I was told by the server the specials changed last week. I asked if she can make an exception because I come here all the time and had no idea they changed, very rudely she said no and made a it a huge deal for me to speak to the manager. Eventually I did get to speak to the manager who was very sweet and understood my frustration and made an exception. This doesn't excuse the issue of this establishment constantly changing prices and specials. It's sad because the food is delicious and the old staff was very friendly.
