Tony W: Best Belgian fries in NY!
Wim De Maertelaere: Perfect place to meet fellow compatriots and they serve perfect Belgian waffles. Other food is good, but too stereotypical. Belgian cuisine offers a lot more than mussels and fries...
Jacques Bodson: Feel like being in Belgium in New York, try BXL East - typical Belgian restaurant menu (try the mussels or the bouchée-à-la-reine) and a good choice of beers (draft or bottle)
Ulina .: There are a lot of food choices for those who work in the area. They have stuff for meat lovers (a bunch of grills), coffee lovers (Starbucks & Dukin), salad lovers (Just Salad), and vegetarians.
ММ: On hot, cold, rainy, or snow days, this underground walkway allows you to get from 5th Ave to 7th Ave between 48th & 51st St. including all buildings along the way without going outside
Alesha U: The Rockefeller Plaza Concourse has a wide variety of shops that you can enjoy upon exiting the subway in addition to what looks like it may be the largest Banana Republic in the world.

Monica Gould: Great place for a business dinner. Wonderful food and atmosphere, yet quiet enough to have a conversation without being too intimate. Loved the lobster dumpling appetizer!
Rachel P: Alex was a great bartender and took good care of me at dinner, especially as a lone woman traveler.
Thiago Oliveira: Agreed with Bill A.: Casey made the difference in our dinner yesterday! Very nice fellow & his recomendations were spot on! Try the tuna sashimi for starters and the rack of lamb as main dish! Superb!
Erika Nielsen: The 'Hand-Rolled Potato Gnocchi, Organic Mushrooms, Basil, White Truffle Oil' FARINACEI were amazing. They could use a good oaked Chardonnay by the glass though.
Vita Generalova: Agnolotti al Tartufo - braised veal, black truffle, parmigiano...Upon first bite my taste buds reached nirvana...Unbelievable pasta dish...
Teona: Great happy hour until 7pm every day!
