Elizabeth Maiuolo: We got the bbq burger and the american classic, the cheese fries, and the macandcheeseboro, all amazing.
DatDamnNatasha: Perfect for a quick get together with friends or a bite with your neighbor. Try the Cheerwine. You won't be sorry you did! :)

Krishna Ram: Free potato chips, great bartenders, best of the UES crowd!
New York Habitat: Not quite a dive bar but certainly not an upscale joint, just a good local spot. They've got pool, darts, and even a basketball game to pass the time. Plus who can argue with free potato chips?
Teresa W: Mick and Jimmy: my favorite bartenders in all of NYC.

kos i: BBQ burger & BBQ fries is the best !!!
Jessica: My ultimate favourite Shake shack location. Since it's at the park, it can be much less crowded (vs. indoor locations) and you can eat outside when the weather is really nice!
Time Out New York: Not to be missed: French fries dipped in salted caramel, a.k.a. the stuff stoner dreams are made of.
Sonjoe: What amazing kitchen. Very delicious and Rock Shrimps are top!!! Velmi chutna kuchyna aj sushi a Rock Shrimps urcite dajte, super :)
Tanya: Good ramen, but even better sushi and buns. Everything was ridiculously fresh, down to their avocados. Slow, but polite, service.
The Wall Street Journal: Ramen varieties include the Shiromaru Hakata, flavored by the soft fatty jowl and thinly sliced red pickled ginger, and Wasabi Shoyu Ramen, a vegetable- and chicken-based soup with wasabi-infused oil. Read more.

Brian Giambalvo: A little bit of something for everyone and the large salad with 7 toppings at $10 is a great deal since it’s a massive bowl!
Peter Pugliese: Grand Opening Special - 50% off hot & cold buffet, deli & sushi bar between 11:00am - 3:00pm until 11.08.13!
Mike Merry: Wow, easily one the best buffetts around.

Willem Ockhuysen: Nice roof top. Amazing beer selection!
Brew York: The long-awaited sister bar of Rattle-N-Hum is a godsend to Port Authority commuters. And with 80 beers on tap, a booming space, and a well-crafted food menu, you might actually WANT to go to Midtown.
marianne myers: Good beer. Horrible music for this concept. Top 40 is not acceptable for a beer bar. One and done.
