On the way to a basketball game at MSG, my husband and I realized - we need food!…read more Didn't have a plan in mind, but Emperor Dumpling caught our eye as we walked by (looked clean, smelled good, and it wasn't crowded so hopefully we could get in and out quickly). I was happy to see certain items on the menu were designated as vegetarian. If I lived in town I would come back and try all their veggie friendly options. The small order of veg dumplings was a very reasonable price and portion. I thought they were well stuffed with veggies. I was a little disappointed with the dumpling wrapper- i prefer a lighter softer wrapper. But overall I still ate it all, and it was a quick nice snack. My husband really enjoyed his orange chicken with rice and veggies. It was a huge portion- he was only able to eat half of it. Great value.

Today I decided to order again and tried their lunch special of chicken teriyaki with white rice and their miso soup.

The exterior was under construction (welcome to New York) and the place was busy but bright and clean. There was a short line, but we were served promptly, and the staff was very kind. I asked if they had lettuce wrapped burgers, and they looked at me like I was crazy so I opted for the double cheeseburger instead of being healthy! It came out fast in a classic white bag... Nothing fancy. We unwrapped our burgers and again, nothing fancy. We took one bite of those burgers and were instantly transported into a euphoric bliss. It actually was the best burger I've ever had! Gooey, melty, juicy, divine. I'd go back to New York just for this burger! 11/10!!

Not sure how they do it, but this is hands-down the most efficient Raising Cane's, I have ever been…read moreto. Located inside Penn Station across from the LIRR, they are not in the Moynihan station food court area. This location hits the spot, and is a total lifesaver when your starving, not in the mood to go to Times Square or other far out locations. The Penn station location is perfect! No crowds, if there is a small line, it moves incredibly fast. Ordered the Box Combo, and the chicken was piping hot, crispy, and perfectly breaded. And obviously, the Cane's Sauce is always a bonus. The Texas toast was buttery and thick, just the way it should be. The staff here deserves a raise; they manage the Midtown chaos with total grace and keep the seating area surprisingly clean for how high-volume it is. This is the perfect grab-and-go spot that actually tastes like quality food. If you're passing through Penn,definitely check them out. Tip: If there's a sports game at the garden, get your food before the event ends. It gets crowded when a hockey game is ending.

This was so disappointing. I'd heard so much hype about Raising Canes coming to NY, so when I…read morefinally walked across this location while starving in Penn Station I thought oh, this must be the moment. I ordered the three finger combo. What came out was just plain sad looking. Tiny chicken fingers, barely cooked fries. The Raising Cane's sauce was good but the vessels to that sauce were so lacking. The breading on these chicken fingers was nothing special and again, so so small. Service was fast at least, but the place itself was dirty and virtually every table needed a wipe down. I know, I know, it's Penn Station, it's supposed to be a little grimy. Honestly, if these chicken fingers weren't so tiny and my fries were properly cooked I could deal with a little grime. But come on.

I…read moreordered a salad bowl with supergreens, brocolli, falafel, pickles, olives, cucumbers, and pickled onions with lemon tahini, crazy feta and eggplant dip. They were out of falafel by the time it was my turn in line, so I had to wait 15 minutes for a fresh batch. The food was pretty good! And the falafel was delicious, especially having been freshly made. They even gave me extra to apologize for the wait. My only complaint is that the side pita that came with the meal was stale and hard, which is why I deducted a star. Overall, it was a good meal!

I took my mom to Chirp for Mother's Day lunch. Based on the website photos I was expecting a proper…read moresit down restaurant with table service. That is not what Chirp is. They have seats. But you order at the front, pick up your own food, box it yourself when you are done, and discard your own trash. I was the server today. That should be noted upfront because the website does not exactly make that clear. That said, the food was good. I got a stir fry dish with beef, fries, tomatoes and platanos. Mama bear got a Spanish chaufa which is basically the Peruvian version of fried rice. She seemed to enjoy it. I also got a side of squash soup which was pretty good. We washed it all down with Jarritos, the Mexican soda. Solid choice. Now the restroom situation. Chirp does not have a public restroom. My mom was bothered by that and I could see her starting to make it a thing. I had to nip that in the bud. I get it, I understand, but that is not the hill I die on. No restroom, no worries. It is what it is. The cashier was nice. The food got me full quick. I brought some home for wifey since she is a fan of Spanish food too. Overall Chirp is fine for what it is. It is more of a quick meal and delivery spot than a dinner service restaurant. If you go in knowing that you will probably enjoy it. If you go in expecting a proper sit down experience like I did, you might be caught off guard. Now you know.

I've been going to potbellys for awhile and enjoy their sandwiches. I usually get the awreck (similar to an Italian but has turkey). Love the toasted bread and added mayo, mustard, onions.....there are a bunch of toppings to chose from. I was disappointed when I got home because I had ordered the chicken pot pie but they gave me the chili....I thought about going back to the store to let them know but didn't want to waste more time. I guess next time I should double check the bag when I pick up my food to make sure my order is right....

A late night street taco will always hit the spot! This place is a well oiled taco machine! We walked in and there was a long line, but it went super quick! The place was bright and clean and the menu is straight-forward and easy to see. We ordered and immediately told the assembly line what we wanted on our tacos. The tacos came out quick, fresh, and oh-so-delicious! Of course, there was a salsa bar to one side and soda tub on the other side. It's standing room only but it's perfect for eating a quick street taco and then heading off on your next NYC adventure!

Finally made it to the new Rowdy Rooster. Forget everything you know about fried chicken--this is a…read morewhole different beast. ​I tackled the Big Rowdy with dark meat and that Hakka chili heat. It's an absolute unit of a sandwich. Replacing pickles and mayo with red onion and mint chutney? Mental. Chef is a straight-up genius for that one. ​Grabbed the mini samosas on the side and washed the fire down with a Thums Up. That soda hits way harder than a Coke--sharp, spicy, and high voltage. ​Shoutout to Eric for holding it down and helping me navigate the spice. The art is sick and the vibes are high. ​If you're tired of the same old bird, come get punched in the face with some actual flavor. This isn't just lunch; it's a heavyweight bout.

At first I was impressed with all the flavors of the sandwich; however about halfway through, it became very soggy from all the sauces. I ended up ditching the bread by the very end and eating the chicken with my hands. I also wasn't a fan of the fries. They were overdone. The texture and taste was almost like they had been cooked previously, then refried again to make my order. The meal was just 3 stars for me. That being said, it's a unique concept and quite a few of their menu options looked good! Maybe I just ate there on an off day...

Cuisine: 9 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 4 Value: 9 Overall: 9 I am not an expert in West African cuisine, but all I can say about the food here is, "Holy shit! It's good!" The setup inside this dimly lit restaurant had a bunch of steam tables offering various beef and chicken dishes, a handful of rice options, and a bunch of salads/fruits. Having no idea what we were looking at, we asked the friendly owner for some advice. After some contemplation, two of us made a plate with all beef over some jollof rice, and another with basically all chicken items over a different type of flavorful rice. We knew it was too much, but our goal was to figure out what we would come back for. Honestly, I did not enjoy most of the chicken because it's sitting in steam trays getting overcooked. Not saying they were terrible, but it all fails in comparison to all the great beef offerings. OMG! You really can't go wrong with any of the beef dishes. My cuisine rating is really based on the various beef items, the yummy veggies, and both amazing rice. The current price is $10.99 per pound regardless what you fill your box with, except a couple of items. We filled our two boxes with about 4lbs of food. Obviously too much, but we got to try many things. No doubt I will be back asap for round two.
