Sandwich Spot · Garment District · 67 tips and reviews
J L: The Porchetta with the tender pork, roasted red peppers, arugula, and sweet peppers is delicious.
Andrew Furman: The Pinocchio sandwich is amazing. Sandwiches are a little expensive at $13, but they're really good gourmet sandwiches
Gothamist: Alidoro's spectacular sandwiches arrive in midtown. Get the Marina, stuffed with smoked chicken breast, fresh mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, & arugula. These sandwiches come pretty fully loaded. Read more.

New American Restaurant · Garment District · 17 tips and reviews
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: Incredible dining experience. The ambiance is romantic and sophisticated. Excellent food, the flavors are off the charts and the drinks selection is outstanding. Live jazz is the cherry on top
Michael Lagnado: Excellent food, cocktails and jazz in a lovely setting
Alex Steinberg: Live music and ambiance are superb. Feels like a lost era, but in an authentic way.
Ravinder Singh: Had expirience of a lifetime, highest rooftop bar, steps to parking, friendly staff, clean room. A must recommended place.
The Corcoran Group: Highest rooftop bar in Manhattan, without the sky high prices. Happy hour includes $5 beers and $7 wine and well drinks. Elevated views of Times Square, but all the other landmarks are obscured from
Evert Meulie: Almost a 10. Friendly people, good service. The only advise I'd give is: eat breakfast elsewhere ;-)

Katya Mezhibovskaya: Breakfast sandwiches. Spicy sauces and dressings are great. Crunchy tuna on pita or the grilled halloumi with chimichurri sandwich are my go-tos.
Jenny Crowley: Excellent food all around, but I really love the breakfast special - spicy Mediterranean egg sandwich and the *best coffee* in the area! The owner is a nice guy as well. Great spot!
Serious Eats: This small sandwich shop has a commitment to quality that raises above its Midtown peers.

Cuban Restaurant · Garment District · 54 tips and reviews
Paola Guerrero: The cuban sliders are delicious, and you get a set of two (part of their happy hour menu). The black paella is unique but still flavorful. Jeff is their greatest bartender!
Village Voice: Calle Dao is a love letter to Cuban-Chinese food. Get the lechón asado with plantains, they also offer great cocktails like mojitos, caipirinhas, and cuba libres. Read more.
Tash Concepcion: The oxtail croquette was good but the duck empanada is excellent. The pan fried noodle dish was too bland.

Burger Joint · Garment District · 82 tips and reviews
Dan E: Best burger to be found around here. Custom with avocado, egg and bacon is great.
Brad Garoon: The Masterpiece burger has double patties topped with Swiss cheese, carmelized onions, a fried egg, and applewood smoked bacon. It's the only burger I'm willing to eat over and over again in NYC. Read more.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾: Garlic fries are amazing! The burgers are really good, but I wish the horseradish mayo had a little more kick. They only serve beer and wine.

Bar · Garment District · 169 tips and reviews
Leigh Anne Zinsmeister: Great chill spot to grab a beer in midtown - so much good stuff on tap.
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.
