Thai Restaurant · Turtle Bay · 167 tips and reviews
Gregory Lee: I can second the tips here. The fried tofu, pork fried rice, kalbi, pad Thai and green papaya salad were great.
Frankie Buckle: 2nd time here - love the Viet papaya salad. The veg spring rolls are also good - bit different. Not sure how vegetarian friendly this place is - I think a lot of the food is cooked in meat fat/broth.
Nation's Restaurant News: Typical pad Thai is made with rice noodles and often topped with a fried egg or has egg mixed in with the noodles. Chef Preyanet Pongsuwan uses shredded green papaya instead of noodles. Read more.

Lydia Yao: Great smoothie specials (mango lassi, watermelon guava, lime papaya, etc.) but beware lunch-hour craziness. Breakfast is somewhat more civilized.
Damian Bayona: You pay a premium for this delicious, healthy and convenient food option. Serving breakfast and lunch. Coffee is pretty good too ☕️😌
Adam Rothenberg: Get the Tobago smoothie, you will thank me

Greek Restaurant · Rockefeller Center · 19 tips and reviews
Eater: Long Island Greek fish restaurant Limani recently opened its second location. The name means seaport in Greek and appropriately offers a fish focused menu including whole fish baked in salt. Read more.
John E: Food is fantastic, particularly the chicken kebab, which keeps me coming back. Outdoor dining pop-up area during the summer is a rare find in this area. But service is consistently disappointing.
Özge Özsoy: Very lazy guys! If you want to wait more than 30 minutes you can eat!

Affinia Hotel Collection: This classic American steakhouse offers not only delicious steaks, but also an extensive menu of classic, well-loved American fare. Additionally, they mix strong, excellent cocktails.
Razorfish: A favorite rooftop bar come Spring and great place for entertaining clients.
Joanna Flamm: Fried Chicken Fridays are a perfect place to take a date. $25 for fried chicken, two sides, dessert, and live jazz. Make a reservation; they often fill up.

Italian Restaurant · Midtown East · 55 tips and reviews
Adam Handley: Great fresh Italian. Lots of different salads and meats to choose from. High quality. Not cheap nyc Italian deli junk
Douglas Kurdziel: They have moved some hot sandwiches (like the wonderful Telera and steak sandwich) to the counter in the back - don't miss them!
Jackie Burnbaum: If you're an Italian food lover, this is heaven. From the chicken Milanese salad, goat cheese tarts, refreshing salads, great lunch spot

Kim Olavarria: The In Season hot dish is incredible. The spicy walnuts with goat cheese were off the hook. Instead of the recommended sirloin, I added the garlic shrimp and added Sriracha. Oh my is all I can say :)
Ashley Rose: Download the app "roast" to get your 11th bowl free and to skip the line!
Melissa T: Always so disorganized! Your best bet is to order a hot dish right off the menu. Making your own or getting a cold bowl adds 10 minutes to your wait time!
