The Corcoran Group: One of our favorite Midtown afterwork spots. We definitely recommend ordering the delicious Banana Bread Beer - but if that isn't your style, go for the sampler and try a few!
Untappd: Located on 55th and 2nd, this small little bar has tons of taps and great food. There is a special private area in the back with lounge chairs and TVs. Great selection!
Alex Grabowski: Outlets underneath the bar!
Elegran: Refined ambiance and decor make it a perfect place for business lunch in Grand Central area. Also a good spot to share delicious lavash chips and hummus with friends, and enjoy a good bottle of wine. Read more.
Murat Ülker: The atmosphere is just like Beyoglu/Istanbul, the food is great and delicious.
Tash Concepcion: A perfect place for a business lunch or dinner but it gets really loud. The Pera Twists and Chicken Brochette are very good. The chicken is very moist and tender in both dishes.

Christina C.: Greeks know better! Delicious food, great variety of Greek and International wines along with excellent service! Definately try octopus, fresh fish simply charcoal grilled &king shrimps to die for!!!
Fizzie Water: I can't! That crispy béchamel on the veggie lasagna is certified crack. Give me a tub of that and put me in a coffin, I'm ready to die.
Gilt City: Eating at Ammos is like taking a vacation to the Greek Islands. Serving some of the freshest and most authentic Greek dishes, Ammos is a truly transporting experience.
Mandar M: This place has the best music selection of all the Spanish restaurants I have been to ... Amazing flamenco guitar, classic violin etc feels like you have been transported to Spain
Serious Eats: Good paella made to order that holds up well for takeout.
Valentina Monte: Yumminess by way of sangria and scallops and the pork belly (and a very attractive, flirtatious Spaniard named Carlo).

The Corcoran Group: While dinner here is awesome, we prefer to eat at this hip spot for brunch - reservations are a must. The BLT+E is to die for, and what makes it extra delicious is that it's served on a croissant!
Jasmine Benun: Unisex bathroom, enter at your own risk.
AskMen: Aside from seafood towers & ceviche, the menu also includes smart comfort food like fried chicken & potato waffles, and St. Louis-style sticky ribs. Read more.
