    Steak Frites #blueplatespecial
    Taylor A.

    I landed on this gem when a neighborhood over. They have 2 floors and host a variety of cooking classes so my friend and I sat at the bar. I ordered one of the blue plate specials which came with a glass of wine and 1 of 4 dishes, I ordered steak frites, mashed potatoes & arugula salad. My friend ordered coco southern fried chicken sandwich with fries. Everything came out hot and Tasty. I liked the atmosphere, the bartender Chloe was great and knowledgeable about the menu since she has worked there 2.5 years and lives in the neighborhood. Looked like the classes were pretty popular, I did not make it downstairs. I thought the prices were reasonable and would go back for taster bar food. I took a bite of my friend's chicken sandwich and it's one of the best I've ever tried! They also have happy hour with drink specials 5-7

    Brunch! The Bloody Mary was a solid 8. Cld have used more than one olive and teeny lemon garnish. I got the English Breakfast, which is why I chose to try this restaurant, for my weekly Brunch. It was perfectly plated, but not hot at all. It wasnt even lukewarm. Had it been remotely warm, this would be four star rating. I had a generous side of grits, also not hot/warm, but enough for another meal. As others have said, the service is slow, so be prepared. The staff was gracious and I do like that music is not blasting so loudly you have to shout.

    Grits--GET THEM. Full English--get this too.

    Betty is a gem in the neighborhood. I came for brunch around 11ish. There were plenty of tables and it's a chill, low key atmosphere. I got the full English, which brought me back to London immediately. Even with empty tables, the food does take awhile to come out. Definitely worth the wait but don't have time sensitive plans afterwards.

    Visiting family in the Lower East Side, we were looking for a new place for breakfast. The reviews of Betty sounded good and we checked it out. Betty is located in a non descript location on Henry St, across for Gouveneur Hospital. Our server, Tulane, was wonderful. She from Ohio and loves living here. She suggested the buttermilk pancakes, they were definitely delicious. I was given real maple syrup which you didn't often get. I chose the cauliflower side on a beef is hummus. Also really tasty. My wife enjoyed the avocado toast with 2 eggs over easy. It was also delicious. The coffee was fresh and smooth, strong enough and not sour or bitter. The ambience is very comfortable,clean looking, looks sorta life a coffee shop. It's nice and quiet, you feel like you need to talk in a soft voice. Also a little dark but not too much. The only problem is that the layout is a bit long and narrow and on a cold day, the cold windy air blows in. This is a really nice place for breakfast and I highly recommend it!

    Very interesting experience here. Popped in randomly for dinner. No reservation. No recommendation. Just Me, Jesus, and a Google Maps search. It's out of the way, one of the places I pass by all the time while on the way to The Dancer. The space is big. Very prison chic with grey walls and concrete floors. We were greeted after a few minutes with a passive wave and, "Sit anywhere you like." The space is a good size, so you can kind of choose the vibe you want. The day we came the front house was led by two young women. The menu is new American and in my opinion, reasonably priced. We got a spattering of small bites and three cocktails. The service was medium speed and they were very attentive. My only slight qualm was the waitress/bartender was serving sleeves that keep brushing over our food and table which was kind of off putting. She eventually took it off! The vibe is like very much Youth Club. Not entirely professional but not entirely a mess either. More like a lax kind of place with really good food. The food is phenomenal. I was really impressed. I definitely will be coming back. The drinks are kind of shit but she did make a really good tequila espresso. This is the kind of place you come for dinner. Forget the cocktails! I definitely look forward to coming back again. It was a funny experience and the food is slamming.

    My boyfriend absolutely loves this place and for good reason. Kind of a hidden spot on a side street and we're happy it's never too busy to get a table. They have all day breakfast and great dinner options. I'm a sucker for their pancakes which are warm and fluffy. Their English breakfast is great and so is their betty be ready. It's a great spot for a date or to bring friends and their service was pretty good. The food does take a little long to come out but always worth the wait.

    Half BLT with salad

    We had a change in plans and found Betty in the Lower East Side for our early lunch. I had a burger that came with a light green salad. Fries would have been an alternate accompaniment, but I was very happy to get this salad. I wished afterwards that I had opted for a double patty, as the burger was good. Service was good and prompt, as the place filled when it got closer to noon on a Friday. This was a neighborhood place that was surprisingly low in noise level, as my wife suggested I lower my voice. No tourists in sight. My wife was already looking ahead towards our return.

    Came for brunch! Service was great, the servers came by often to check on us and were quite friendly. I ordered the baked eggs, it was basically shakshuka and tasted so good! It also came with buttered bread which was sooo good but another piece would've been good since the baked eggs were so saucy

    Betty was a great find. It is a neighborhood gem with tasty dishes and cocktails. It was opened late which was great for us as we just flew in from the west coast and wanted a nice meal after a long day of travel. We had the fish green curry, henry street soft pretzel, sauteed shrimp and cauliflower. We paired our dishes with the William Seward's Basil Gimlet, Hot Toddy and Manhattan. Service was great, ambiance was definitely NYC chic and would definitely return to Betty's.

    Avocado toast

    Cute small restaurant with a friendly staff. I ordered the avocado toast which was very tasty and presented so pretty. They also have a kitchen called Abigail's that offered cooking classes. Glad I found this restaurant nestled by dimes square.

    Shrimp-n-Grits
    Hannah B.

    The food was amazing, the wait for the food, slightly less amazing. This is a super cute establishment with a very home-y vibe. Service was very kind and fun. The shrimp n grits were so good! I will be back for that alone. Our drinks were fantastic as well. Someone in my party got a bagel with smoked salmon and it looked alright. She said it was good but it didn't come with many toppings other than the salmon it self. Unsure if I would recommend this item since there are better place in new york for a bagel. My only issue was the wait. Took a bit long to get our food and sit down after arriving. But the flavor made up for everything so i'll be back!

    Came here for a family brunch recently and overall had a great experience. Very reasonably priced food (the breakfast sandwich was killer) and nice quiet atmosphere. It was a bit out of the way for me for a typical day, but I would consider returning if in the area!

    Are you ready for the 411? Here we go...stopped here to have lunch with friends to celebrate a birthday and was so disappointed. I have been here before and was not expecting what would occur today. We ordered our drinks and food at 12:15pm and did not get served the drinks...yes, I said the drinks meaning a sprite, ginger ale and matcha lemonade until 45 minutes later (approximately 12:52pm). They basically forgot about us. I had a 1:30pm so I had to leave my friends and since I was paying, I had to ask for the check. I was still annoyed because I was hungry and had no food to enjoy but paying for a check. In any case, I was asked how we enjoyed the food to which I replied, "I would not know since we did not get the food." He offered to comp our drinks and asked me if that would make us happy and my reply, with my witnesses present, was "I guess." In his next response I got he was not happy with my response because he basically asked me if comping it not enough, and again I had to reply, "I guess" and further add "I was not aware it was a Yes/No question. Here is the thing, why should I be happy you are taking off $6 off my approximately $95 check, when I still was not able to eat and had to go back to a meeting without eating lunch and had to get it to go which means I will probably not eat it for another few hours. $6 is not going to do anything for me but the fact that I cannot eat now for hours due to your workflow is my issue. The customer service and understanding could have been volumes better. While they indicated they were swamped; I will not allow a business to gaslight my feelings when they are in the wrong. As I said earlier, we have eaten there many times even bringing our managers there and dropping over $800 for the bill and the service was FAR better. As a Yelp elite, I rarely write poor reviews but even our favorite places have to know when they need to do better. The other server who felt he was too swamped to serve us our drinks could have alerted someone he needed help but to completely ignore us and then be like I forgot your drinks 45 minutes later started this whole downhill process. I hope this review will be helpful in Betty's looking at how they can do better, because it's not about the customer sometimes, it's how the business responds back to the customer's dissatisfaction and with that said it's not always about a comp! I still recommend people visit this location as it is a great spot otherwise. The food is delicious, especially the hangar steak, garlic shrimp and mac and cheese!

They often host free events and can be rented for parties, dinners and receptions. Overlook is a gorgeous space with floor to ceiling windows and skylights. It overlooks the Bryant Park skating rink, Winter Village and has views of the surrounding buildings. The views here are AMAZING!!! I recently attended one of their free yoga classes as part of their Winter Fitness program. The space is pretty large and comfortably held the 40 or so attendees the night I attended yoga. We all were informed beforehand to bring our own mats and towels as these would not be provided. The yoga sessions are run by different yoga companies and the one I attended was by Sputnik Yoga and was a silent headphone yoga session. We each were provided, free of charge, headphones to wear during class. This was my first time attending a session like this but had a blast! The headphones took a bit getting used to, but I loved that you could clearly hear the teacher during the class. They also played some cool music while helping to block out all other sounds. This really helped me focus on the movement and the instructions. The class was an open level Vinyasa but the movements and flow were slightly advance. It was quite a workout and I was sweaty by the end. After class, we were each given wipes to sanitize the headphones and our mats. Then we all took selfies in this beautiful space and one final group picture, which they posted on their Instagram account. This was by far the coolest yoga class I've ever taken. I've been telling all of my friends and co-workers about it and have already signed up for some of their upcoming classes. Overlook offers other types of activities like Meditation, Ribbon Dancing, Barre classes and Story time for kids. It is a great place to watch the skaters below and enjoy Bryant Park's free activities. I highly recommend trying them out.

The event location offers sweeping views of the Hudson River, the Vessel, and a good deal of Manhattan and New Jersey's Gold Coast. The areas are supposed to be customizable, and I recently attended a party on the 21st floor. The space was more limited than I had expected, but I think it might have been configured as such. For instance, according to its website, it could fit up to 150 guests for a cocktail party or 20-120 guests for a seated dinner, but this setup held about 60-70 patrons. However, it was able to accommodate a coat check, a bar, a DJ station, a photo booth, and a few couches, while still allowing room for attendees to gather in groups and servers to pass out hors d'oeuvres. The party I attended was catered by Abigail Kirsch, and the food was fabulous in both taste and quantity.
