Daniel de Plantagenet: Can't get over the hot everything bagel with chicken salad. Surprisingly good combination... maybe the best bagel or sandwich I've ever had for lunch in my life.
Josh S.: Everything bagel with chicken salad and a slice of tomato. Line wasn't bad at 1:15 PM on a Monday. Either way, it's so worth it!
Daniel Porter: Can't go past the smoked salmon and cream cheese but if you do the chicken salad is outstanding as well.

Danyel Smith: the oysters the popcorn the burger the chicken salad the cocktails the clubby atmosphere lived for all of it + service was great.
Andrew: Great place for cocktails, dinner or both. Great place for a business cocktail gathering as well...
Eater: Cocktail maven Julie Reiner revamped the list and the bartenders. As has always been the case, the room is dark, romantic, and old school--a perfect place for fun rendezvous or a business drink.

Burger Joint · Sutton Place · 8 tips and reviews
Roger V: Best burgers in mid-town. And my favorite wings anywhere.
Brad Garoon: It's at least as good as any fast food joint, and for the same cost, I’d grab a burger from here and french fries from McDonald’s if I were in the neighborhood and only had a few bucks on me. Read more.
Rudy G.: Good greasy spoon. Old fashioned narrow place with good burgers. Fries are good too! Plus they carry Boylan's!
