  • replying to u/nonhiphipster: Urban Hawker is great! What’s the deal with the Hugh?

    Food hall near Midtown East with some decent options, although a fair number close at 5pm which is kind of bizarre

  • If 20$ per person isn't too outrageous to you then what I would do is stick to food halls. There is one called the Hugh on 51st

  • replying to u/ApatheticAbsurdist: I used to work in the area so I'm a little more low key and thinner wallet than Le Bernadin. There's a number of old school Japanese places worth taking a look at: Katsu-Hama - Japanese place that specializes in Tonkatsu fried pork cutlets, very good. Kinda feels like a salary mans stop out of some story in Tokyo Restaurant Nippon - Very old school, run by the family place has been around forever and very good Japanese cooking a little fancier than Katsu-Hama, but not really over the top or terribly expensive. Hatsu-Hana - a little higher end than the other two, old school sushi restaurant that is very solid. They do a "box of dreams" that is 9 pieces in a nice presentation. Mala Project - A little more modern Chinese dry pot with a good bar. La Bonne Soup - Old school French bistro that I've been going to for 25 years, good typical French bistro food. When I was a young college student the Prix Fix was great cause it was pretty reasonable and even included a glass of wine. It's still not horrible for post-covid NYC prices. Urbanspace and Urbanhawker are food courts with a lot of options. Shame the Carnegie Deli is gone...

    I’d skip urban space and go to the Hugh instead. Better options and a nicer spot all around.
