Salad Restaurant · Midtown East · 19 tips and reviews
Kisha Chandler: Very similar to chopt. Service and salad options are awesome! I would order online next time. Lines are long but they move fast and service with a smile. All dietary needs are available, just ask!
Andrew C: Solid salad place, nice selection of chef creations/featured bowls... but very long lines and overpriced meals, just like any other midtown lunch spot
Pat Hu: Order and ahead and pickup to avoid the prime time lines.

New American Restaurant · Turtle Bay · 36 tips and reviews
Mary P: Great rooftop bar! Great fish, great lamb, great duck!
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.
Jarrod Klawinsky: Elegant, amazing service, quite expensive but the room size is larger than most hotels. Great location to shopping.
Travel Channel: “If you’re willing to spend some bucks, I love the St. Regis. They don’t make them like this anymore.” – Anthony Bourdain
Randi Leeds: Bloody Mary was invented here. And they are the perfect amount of spice and tomato-y goodness.

Jag Firerwalker: Very good service. The food is great (avoca smash) and the coffee are very nice.
Timelessnomad: Cold brew, soy milk, almond milk, and delish avocado toast. Nice location on the back of the ICP school. Premade salads and vegan baked goods! What!!!!
Kevin Keating: Decent little place in an area lacking in decent little places. Better than the Starbucks on surrounding blocks.

Jane A: Eggplant tomato soup and wild mushroom, pesto, mozzarella pizza are amazing!
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

Shesh Paplikar: Small Veggie platter is a perfect deal for lunch. Right size, budget, healthy & tasty!
Christie Griffin: This place is basically a hot guy parade at lunchtime. Lol.
Mikey Milnar: 52nd street location is super stingy with their serving sizes...mama is still hungry.
James Kiernan: Great option for healthy business lunch. Start off with the trio dip - spicy pepper ‘muammara’ was my fav. If you’re like me and prefer your salad without lettuce, order the village salad. Enjoy! 🇬🇷
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.

Kristina Gorur: The brick pressed chicken and the burger were to die for! The burrata is also top notch
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.
