“Inside of it was a very good peppery brisket that Blue Smoke always does, a nice sour slaw and creaminess coming off the remoulade.”

replying to u/Party-Veterinarian60: I'm not sure what your budget is/what kind of food you'd prefer, but I've done two 'staycations' at the Conrad. Keep in mind it's going to be pretty cold so you're either going to eat at Brookfield or make your way to the Oculus area which is like a 10 minute ish walk (underground though so it's all good). Anyway, some good spots very close to you are: Del Frisco's - Not sure if you'll be able to walk right in, but you can't go wrong here. Classic, excellent steakhouse. Sant Ambroeus - Nice space, great italian food, good service, on the pricier side (not sure what you consider pricy though, but for NYC everything's pricey these days). Shouldn't have an issue just walking in. Parm - Last time I was down there it wasn't open, but they make a mean chicken parm sandwich and a delicious spicy rigatoni vodka. More casual compared to Saint Ambroeus, but very good and the inside is kinda like if the interior of Johnny Rockets was actually cool. If you're desperately hungry: There's a food court on the 2nd floor of Brookfield with a lot of solid options. El Vez (literally right downstairs from The Conrad). I only ate there once and got a bad stomach ache, but that also happens to me 99% of the time. Wei West - Basic japanese spot. Nothing special, but fine enough if you're incredibly hungry and need food immediately. DON'T: Eat at the restaurant in the Conrad (Atrio). I genuinely love the Conrad, the rooms are spacious, the lobby is sick, it's right next to the mall…

“It's definitely improved once they had Bret Lunsford as the executive chef since he's born and raised in Georgia with roots in BBQ.”

“There were these amazing wings from Blue Smoke I had there with “Alabama white sauce”. My husband (an Alabama born and bred country boy) said this sauce is not a thing. But we both agreed that they were some of the best wings we’d ever had in life.”
