The bar…read more(and merch tables) in the lobby create an unusable passage with people trying to come in the front doors, trying to get drinks/merch and you can never tell which line is for what. They have like 3 toilets for the entire venue and you'll spend a chunk of your time waiting in line. I think the restrooms are original to the building (1920s) The sound system looks to be Meyer Leopard arrays with 900-LFCs and Rivage PM5 for the house console - so that's ripping! Only redeeming quality

The seats are comfortable and the view from the seats on the ground level are all decent. I've been where we sat at the last row on the ground level and I've visited where we had seats closer to the stage. The lines aren't crazy long, and the security works pretty quickly to move things right along. They do sell cocktails and snacks. I love that this venue is right in the middle of the city with plenty of public tranportation options. The fees have always been reasonable and cheaper if you pay at their box office. This is definitely a venue I would attend future events at based on my prior experiences.

Town Hall Deli has some really good food, especially the sloppy joes and the steak sandwich. The…read morequality of the food is definitely the reason people keep coming back, and those sandwiches are some of my favorites there. However, my experiences with customer service have been mixed. The woman with the gray hair working at the register, I'm not sure if she is the owner or manager has come across as rude toward me on multiple occasions and has given me uncomfortable looks while I'm paying. I've also personally noticed what felt like different treatment toward some Jespy clients compared to other customers coming in, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome at times she treats the Jespy clients differently. The setup for ordering subs can also be a little confusing, especially if it's your first time there or if the deli is busy. The line and ordering process could definitely be organized a bit better. The service overall could be friendlier and more welcoming. It's also a little pricey, so I don't go there very often. That being said, the food itself is still very good and worth trying if you're in the area.

If you're not familiar, I'm not talking about ground meat sloppy joes. This refers to meat, Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on layers of rye bread. They have many different options. Their rye bread is superb and the quality of the food is excellent. My favorite is the Maplewood Joe. The people who work there are friendly and helpful. I don't care what anyone says, this is far better than Millburn Deli.

We stopped by for drinks after dinner at Crown Shy downstairs and we were able to put ourselves on…read morethe waitlist for Overstory while we ate. They staff did their best to time it well so that we could go up to the rooftop bar after dinner and we only waited about 5 min or so. First of all, the interior is gorgeous - art deco style with disco lights throughout, it gives a really nice classy but still fun vibe. Of course, the outside patio is super nice with a good night view of the city. We didn't spend that much time outside as it was fairly cold but I can see why this spot is so well-rated. The drinks at Overstory were a bit of a letdown though. I got the Salty Dog which was frankly just salty and pretty one note. I also tried Easy Money and In The Clouds (which was my favorite) but for the price I would expect the drinks to be a bit more inventive or bold flavorwise.

For my 500th five star review…read more.. Yep I'm saying this. Here we are. Street parking in NYC is tolerable. Even... civilized. Thanks to digital meters, I parked a rather large SUV (the kind that usually sends meter maids into cardiac arrest) with minimal effort. Zero drama. Time and again. The going rate per hour? The price of a passable latte. $5-$7. I'll take convenience and dignity over circling the block like a common tourist, any day. Good job, New York. For once, applause. Slow, measured applause, for getting something elegantly right.

Probably the nastiest woman I have had the displeasure of dealing with in state ran departments,…read moreand that says a lot. Had to go in person since I couldn't pay online, I explain why I'm there and she cuts me off mid sentence saying "it's a systemwide issue!" With extreme attitude. I knew I was going to deal with poor manners but good grief this woman was unpleasant. It's not societies' fault this is your occupation of choice! The vile being then processed my 2 camera tickets and sent me to another woman across the lobby to pay for them. The second woman who processed my payment was very nice and pleasant: completely the opposite of the first person I dealt with. This is just a symptom of a greater disease that is state employees working in departments, and a lot of NY city workers as well. They do the bare minimum and give you a terrible attitude when it's completely unnecessary. People generally don't deserve to be treated like that, and so that's why they get this rating.

Overall: New favorite spot to stay for work trips. Experience based on two stays so far. Incredibly…read morespacious and comfortable. Convenient spot to commute to the office. The Space: Apartment feel, like you're in a second home. Different spots to lounge besides the bed. Multiple lighting options to suit different preferences but they're kind of everywhere. The Amenities: Has shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, towels, robes, q-tips, water bottle, tea, coffee (nice quality grounds from the cafe downstairs), and snacks! Nice kitchen/kitchenette, depending what room you get. Has basics of what you would need in a home. The Location: Hidden inside a building - need to take a certain set of elevators for the hotel rooms. Entrance is easy to find once you're inside the building. The cost: $$ The Service: Minimally staffed but helpful front desk. Cleaning is available daily.

In all the years that I've traveled to NYC this is, by far, the biggest place we've ever stayed at!…read moreI don't even know why I looked in the FiDi area. I think in the decades that I've visited the city, I've only gone to Wall Street as a tourist once! Yet somehow, during my most recent searches, I came across Mint House and decided to try it out based on the reviews. And boy, we were not disappointed! Mint House is located in an art deco building right smack in the middle of the financial district. I figured it would be quiet, because what nightlife would be around that area, right? Well, it was quiet, but it was fantastic! But it wasn't quiet that nothing was happening. There were still plenty of places to go to within the area. Black Fox Café is conveniently located on the first floor of the building. And there were many food options in the same building as well. From a Michelin starred restaurant to deli. And if you fancy it, you can even head to the rooftop bar! But the real star of the place is the actual rooms of the hotel. We had so much space in our studio that we didn't know what to do with it! We asked for a studio with two beds, and we absolutely loved that the beds were not next to each other. In fact, the other bed was located in a nook far away from the other bed, making it feel like it was a two bedroom space instead of a studio! We even had a full-size kitchen and a dining table for six that we didn't need. This was the first time in the many years we've traveled to the city that we had space to not only put our luggage, but also order in food, bring home food, keep it in the fridge and throw it in the microwave when we felt like it. Mint House is the unexpected favorite place we've ever stayed at, and we cannot wait to go back!

The food was okay, but the overall experience made it worthwhile. Being able to enjoy quality time with friends and family while having fun is definitely a reason to visit. Recreation feels like an arcade, with table games and a basketball court, which adds to the atmosphere. I thought it was really cool to chat and play games while having brunch and a few drinks. The brunch menu prices are pretty reasonable. I came for brunch and would definitely return to try the dinner menu. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps adding a dessert to the menu for someone who likes to celebrate occasions with something sweet.

This is a pretty clean place. A good thing is that taking the subway here is convenient. It serves the J and Z Trains. These go to Brooklyn, so these make an important trip. Many other routes there take a long time and you take forever getting to it. This kind of takes awhile too, but it's not extremely long. It's the first stop on the J and Z in Manhattan before going to Brooklyn. The station isn't what you would call clean but it's not as horrible. If you're in the Financial District this is convenient. Many alternative routes other than this one. This is good if you want to avoid crowds on the Wall Street MTA stations.

It was cheaper to Door Dash great meals than eating in the hotel restaurant. 3.
