ADELLA
W43rd St – 9th/10th Ave
The food is amazing and my favorite part is the outdoor seating when the weather gets warm. Definitely a “go-to” for me.

LANSDOWNE ROAD
10th Ave – 43rd/44th St
The perfect sports bar for whatever game may be on TV. I’m a Cleveland Indians fan and they put the game on just for me one night.

PIO PIO

10th Ave – 44th/45th St
If you’re a big fan of Peruvian food, you probably already know about Pio Pio. The place looks tiny from the outside but once you’re inside, it opens up into this huge room. I’ve gone with a large group before and we had a great time.

OBAO
9th Ave – 45th/46th St
The pad see ew here is really good, as well as the pho. You just have to find the right time to go since it can get crowded right before Broadway shows or around dinner time on the weekend. Worth a wait though.

MÉMÉ MEDITERRANEAN
10th Ave – 44th St
Not only does Mémé serve authentic Mediterranean food, it also has a cozy, intimate setting. The specialty cocktails and olive bread stand out.
