Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Union Square, New York

Noah W. • February 1, 2016Same great salads, now by Union Sq. Nice upstairs seating. The Guacamole Greens and Kale Caesar are my go-tos, plus any seasonal special.

Jeffrey • July 20, 2014Scandinavian rye loaves, airy cheese straws, tender poppyseed hamantaschen, city’s best chocolate babka. Sandwich: the harissa-fueled potato-and-tomato-studded Tunisian tuna on house-baked ciabatta.

Danny Z. • July 7, 2016One of the nicest cocktails bars in NYC. Four separate rooms with totally a different feel and decor. Very good drinks too, obviously.

Alexandra L. • August 1, 2015by far, my favorite location. it's spacious, fast, and there are tables outside! order an acai bowl; you will not regret it! (my favorite is the PB acai ;))

Jeff C. • March 8, 2015Best authentic tonkatsu in the City hands down. Waiting for the new West Village outpost to open up.

Adrianna B. • August 19, 2018My family and I (5 of us) went here for dinner and the pizza was amazing!! My brother and I tried the barbecue chicken and the buffalo chicken and both were very tasty. Plain pie was just as good!

Yvette L. • September 4, 2015This place is def top 3 japanese bbq in town! A hidden gem with amazing bbq, they have authentic dishes & fusion ones, and it's all tasty! Tip: order garlic rice!

Mary • April 21, 2013Despite being a chain, this place is a great spot for group dinners. Open space and big tables. Get the El Mazcalito to start and order a bowl of guacamole made while you watch.

Terry C. • July 15, 2022The OG ultimate karaoke experience is back, bigger and better than ever, Giant public room & stage, plus now private rooms in the back. There's a reason everyone loves Baby Grand!

Chad H. • May 3, 2015you can get one of their popsicles dipped and then rolled in other toppings! pictured: banana dipped in peanut butter and rolled in cacao nibs and cookie crumbs

DoubleDeuce • August 28, 2023Typical of their other spots but not so comfy to pause inside. The best move is probably to take it over to Union Square Park to enjoy.

DoubleDeuce • November 10, 2022A classier vibe with smartly priced cocktails. Great for groups or a date. I also like the elevated banquette seating. A delicious chicken sandwich too!

Christine N. • August 30, 2010Can't get enough of the handsome waiters, sea urchin pasta with pink sauce, caesar salad and grilled octopus. This is a must every time I visit Manhattan.

Lee H. • June 27, 2017The pastrami taco and brisket taco are amazing!! The mango habenero sauce so good. Chips and guacamole great. Pastrami Burrito very good. Great over all.

Katie C. • November 24, 2015Start with the Roti Telur and the Dumpling Fritters, followed with the Chili Crab and Char Kueh Teow (add shrimp!) - the most delicious meal and great date spot

Connie C. • January 14, 2018So tasty! Especially the cold uni udon and any of the warm dashi udon. The tuna tartare cone and kampachi is so good. A bit of a wait but you can grab drinks and appetizers at the bar while waiting.

Owen H. • August 28, 2016I go here like once every two weeks. It’s just a halal food cart, but the chicken & lamb on rice is off the chain and super cheap. Highly recommend you stop by if in the area

Michelle W. • June 8, 2017The crunchy toppings at the end are the best

Justin C. • July 19, 2011Great Union Square Bar. Perfect for after work hang outs. Great apps such as 1/2 grilled cheese and tomato soup. The organic chicken lunch sandwhich is also phenomenal.

Lori L. • August 10, 2014Look no further for classic French dishes served in an upscale ambiance. Don't miss the signature Truffled Creamy Parmesan Grits or the Seared Diver Scallops with Foie Gras; it's worth the splurge.

Lucille Roberts | The Women's Gym • August 23, 2011Baked by Melissa is perfect when you have a sweet tooth craving but want to limit yourself to just a bite or two. All the cupcakes here are teeny-tiny, bite-sized, and delicious!

Renaud #. • April 4, 2019We recommend this restaurant for its beautiful decor and the well-executed Greek dishes. Good for group-dining but a bit loud for romantic dates. Order the grilled swordfish skewers ⚔️🐟

Sean S. • December 17, 2015Empanadas fried to an amazing golden brown, with some delicious fillings.
