[ Google Review ] One word: Impressed. This was definitely THE most efficient dining experience I've ever had, which is exactly what a fast food chain needs to do in order to survive and flourish in New York. When you approach this place, you see a giant line. Do not fear: you will get through it within 10-15 minutes. When you're outside, you're handed a menu. By the time you're inside, you order and get a tag that assigns you to a line to pick up your food. By the time you get to the register, your order is ready to go. When you go upstairs, no matter how crowded it may look, seating will open up in a few minutes. The staff kindly cleans your table and offers you hand wipes at the end of your meal.

[ Google Review ] The Meatball Shop has great meatballs! I recommend getting the naked balls and a more hardy side like one of the pastas or risotto! All the meatballs are great, so you can’t really go wrong!

[ Google Review ] These cookies are good, but I had sky high expectations for them and they just fell short. They are good, but they are not the best in the world... and I'm not sure if they should even compete in the cookie category as they are best described as a kind of cookie/cake hybrid. They really are very good for a cookie/cake/thing and I don't think you could be disappointed with one. I also got a take-away hot chocolate and that was above-average too. One thing to note: These cookies are a meal in themselves. Very, very filling. We had them after a hot dog from nearby Gray's Papaya, but I don't think I could have fit it as a dessert after anything more substantial.

[ Google Review ] My favorite vegetarian place in NYC so far. The food is so good and they have nice pre-fixe menu selection and good price, which includes soup, main dish and dessert. Also they have big selection of interesting teas and tonics. The atmosphere is also very cozy and there is always amazing music is playing and lots of beautiful fresh flowers. I like the people who work there, very peaceful and caring. Thank you Divya’s Kitchen 🙏💕

[ Google Review ] This place always brings me back one of the best memories of my life. It is just magical. Sometimes, you just won't know a spot that is special and worth remembering until few years later. I hope to come here again.

[ Google Review ] Went here during the summer and I just cant forget how amazing the unagi onigiri I ate her was! Really considering flying back to New York just to visit this place again. The staff were super nice and friendly as well!

[ Google Review ] Probably my favorite in the museum category of NYC. They have a meandering layout that you can walk through... although some of our party had trouble finding specific locations or areas so it may be best to just stroll through. It takes about 3 hours to get through the exhibits. Even the free, public exhibits are amazing! Some fun and interactive exhibits, art installations that make you feel both large and small. It’s a great place.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] When you’re visiting the Statue of Liberty you’re obviously visiting one of the most iconic places NYC can offer you. To go inside the statue you’ll have to store your backpack in a locker so its a good idea to bring a quarter dollar coin. If you’re going to the top of the statue, prepare yourself for the many narrow stairs you’ll find all the way to the top.

[ Google Review ] First let me state you don’t have to be a vegan/vegetarian to love the unique offerings at Beyond Sushi. From its fresh ingredients to the special combinations of flavor, the “sushi rolls” will become a favorite! We love the spicy mango roll, the mighty mushroom roll and the pickle me roll. All are wrapped in black rice. Great dumplings are also offered as well as excellent wraps, and salads. Every month they offer a unique roll and dumpling and we always order the specials. Great soups as well as desserts! Try the black bean brownie! The cucumber mint lemonade is also excellent. Many locations around Manhattan so don’t pass this special place up. Anyone appreciating good food will love Beyond Sushi! Truly an original!

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Kind of a weird seating arrangements here so if you have more than 2 people with you, take your food on the go, you likely won't find a seat. The burgers were pretty good, more interesting is how long these burgers have been around- one of the first vegetarian burgers out there (or vegan if you leave out the cheese). The burgers here are pretty cheap, so if cheap prices and decent veggie burgers is what you're looking for, this is the right place to be.

[ Google Review ] One of my favorite places in NYC. Grab lunch from Chelsea Market--the sandwich counter and a few raw oysters from the Lobster Place is my personal favorite--and head up here to people watch and city soak. It can be (too) busy at times, so pick when to visit wisely.

[ Google Review ] Really solid Pierogies. We tried boiled as well as fried. Never had them with apple sauce. It was a great contrast in flavor with the sweetness. The service was Quick and efficient. The Staff was okay. Interior was clean. No complaints.
