Paola Venturini: Octopus, tuna tartar, and prosciutto and gorgonzola pizza. Sangria pitchers too.

French Restaurant · Midtown East · 77 tips and reviews
Joshua Boggs: Great restaurant, top-notch service, solid cocktails, and extensive wine list. Really liked the Benoit Burger.
Eater: The bar room is a cool place for after-work cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and on the weekends, Benoit serves one of the best brunches in Midtown (it includes a dessert buffet). [Eater 38 Member]
nymag: The three-course, $25 lunchtime prix fixe menu is one of the better deals in midtown. And per Adam Platt, the signature tarte flambée is worth a special trip. Read more.

Lebanese Restaurant · Turtle Bay · 63 tips and reviews
Shannon *: Naya roll with falafal, Hummos, pickled veggies and hot sauce with tahini is awesome. Wheat wrap is light and tasty.
vanessa marie: The garlic whip is SO good, but be prepared for major garlic breath.
Rewan Parti: Avoid the rush for lunch by getting in before 12pm. Also have their chicken bowl or Kafta bowl. Their orange and green sauce are a must drizzle on your bowl or sandwich. Fresh, tasty and reasonable...

Cocktail Bar · Midtown East · 108 tips and reviews
Heather Li: Intimate, classy cocktail bar with very cute and attentive waiters! Try the Penicillin here!
Serious Eats: At this intimate bar tucked inside the Iroquois Hotel you can sip wine or beer, but we suggest trying the carefully-made, retro-style cocktails.
Nina Yiamsamatha: Perfect place to enjoy cocktails after a show at Radio City - a real midtown gem. You might be tempted to order every drink on the menu...

Coffee Shop · Turtle Bay · 60 tips and reviews
Wilson Zhou: My favorite espresso spot near grand central. Great location with air conditioner, authentic espresso, busy shop with light music, chilling in general
Serious Eats: Unassuming cafe with some surprisingly tasty sandwiches.
Simona Sudit: They're serious about their coffee. And I think they're Israeli?
Dawn Sandomeno: Great spot for a drink outside and the spiciest crab cakes I've ever had inside!
The Corcoran Group: Grab an outside table during the warmer months and enjoy a pitcher of sangria with a Beef Burger or Steak and Eggs. Relax, it’s the weekend, who cares if the service is slow.
Sexy LF: Put down the menu and order the truffle burger. Delish! You'll thank me later. The kale salad with shrimp is also delish but small.
