Liz Dell: Great for brunch and also a nice late night dinner spot when the crowds have died down. Solid cocktails. Don't miss the burrata starter, trust me.

Margarita: Late night biscuits with their special butter....tastes like breakfast!
Lesley K: Great fresh cocktails & liquor selection, open late. Friday late nights fun & not too packed. All the southern influenced dishes are best, and the seafood good quality too. Biscuits are a must-try.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: This is one of the most popular spots on the UWS and you don't need to like pickles to enjoy this southern hot spot. Best brunch on the UWS and a great place to grab a drink and late night feast

Hot Dog Joint · Lincoln Square · 245 tips and reviews
Village Voice: This relentlessly yellow hot dog joint hops 24 hours a day and is a symbol of Upper West Side cheap eats. Mustard is pretty much required; the only dilemma is choosing between the onions or the kraut.
What's Good Here: Gray's is a NY institution. Come in on a late night and order the two hot dog special with a piña colada drink to wash it down.
Candace: Favorite Gray's Papaya. Hands down! Hot dog is snappy, savory, & the perfect meat:bun ratio. Get the recession special with delicious pina colada.

Carol: Very fun, themed bar. Can get tight and you’ll have to sit on beach chairs. Cocktails are good. Def get a $5 (+tax) chicken sandwich. The hot honey is perfect for late night munchies 😋
Paige C: Such a fun bar and even more fun during the holidays! Lots of themed drinks and food available.
Kate: Everything’s great here. The drinks are fantastic (both frozen and non) and the staff are the best. The $5 fried chicken sandwiches are the best deal in the city. 100/10 recommend!
