    Perfect Picnic What a great accidental find when I needed to eat after hiking all over the park. So cute inside and they have seating outside. The sandwich I had was delicious and so was the Chocolate Chip Cookie. Five Stars for fast friendly service and delicious food made fresh. The variety of sandwiches is great and the size was perfect for me. If I lived nearby I'd be here all the time. There was a steady stream of customers going in and out. People sat out front ate and then left. It appears to be a little known, yet popular, place known only to the locals! I'm recommending!

    Directly across from Central Park this is a great shop to literally grab a picnic and enjoy a scenic afternoon in the park. It's on the opposite side of the park where a lot of the touristy things are so it's more quite and peaceful. Food was great and staff was super nice. Just a cool thing to do for an afternoon where you just want to chill and eat in the park

    Had a lovely time. I was fortunate enough to win a prize to experience this. I had no idea a company like PP was around. I showed up on a hot Sunday morning and showed the cashier my voucher. No confusion, just an "okay cool!" Which is great because sometimes it can be a real hassle. I had a ticket for two classic picnics. The store was really cute, really small but jam packed with items. I chatted with the owner for a bit, she was funny and charming. The apologised for the cookies being fresh baked! (Ha!) It took a few minutes and then they gave me my bags and wished me a great day. I have to admit, I live right across the park, so I took my picnic to my rooftop and had a nice time. It came with cheeses, meats, olives (so good), an apple, water, cookies (yummmy) and a baguette. It was a lovellllllllllly time. I will definitely be back when fall comes around. It was nice being able to just grab and go. Next time, I'll have it in the park. Really fresh food, great service, and great fun. I also love the handkerchief/towels the classic picnic comes in. Perfect for my kitchen.

    What a delightful take away market! First time in this portion of Central Park and wanted to grab a bite to eat and sit next to the pond. There was a very lovely selection of mini baguettes, artfully packages and fairly priced for the location. The owner even gave my toddler a pink pinwheel- so incredibly thoughtful. They also had a nice variety of olives, cheeses and salads. Basically anything you could think of for a chic picnic. I could see as I re-entered the park several picnic setups the store had done. Really cute but pricey and would probably use that service for a special occasion only. Sat down and was really pleased with the baguette. The bread is fresh and delicious with some high quality olive oil. Will definitely be back to support this local, woman owned & operated business.

He mentioned to me that he knows a place in the neighborhood that has really good burgers. I usually go to my familiar spots, but I figured the way he was talking this place up for their burgers, I might as well give it a shot. Why not right? So we enter "Nobody Told Me", which is a new venue in the neighborhood, at least to me. It was cool. We sat at the bar. I asked for a menu and the Bartender just pointed to the menu that's on the wall. So I made my selection of Burger. I'm honestly probably a boring Burger person because for the most part I just like meat, cheese and bun. I mean, a nice fried egg over easy doesn't hurt. I've also done that with some mac & cheese, and it was incredibly delicious but also, very gluttonous to say the least. lol. In any case, I ordered my burger. Meat, cheese, and bun. I think it was a double Patti Smashburger maybe? And it came with some fries. The burger was good. It was actually better than what I expected. It was juicy without being all bloody and had flavor. It was also a pretty good size.. I mean I couldn't finish it.. I don't eat huge portions or meals.. The fries were good too. I might request a bit more crisp on the fries if I go back. That's just me.. But they were good nonetheless. Burger and fries also had a bit of a lite oniony flavor to them.. I guess to add some flavor.. As far as the vibe in the spot, it was cool. Room was dim as it was day time outside so it was chill. Seemed to be a pretty young crowd of new people who have recently moved in the neighborhood. Who knows? I've only lived here for 50 years.. but it was a cool experience.. They had some cool music playing lightly so you can carry a convo.. In any case, if you are looking for a pretty good burger, I'd give this place a try.. And there you go! Have a great one yall! -Ray

Our group of twelve showed up without a reservation, yet the staff was incredibly accommodating and quickly arranged outdoor seating for all of us. We ordered margaritas, red and white wine, spritzers, and frosé. Every drink was excellent, and Happy Hour made it even better. We only ordered fries since we were mainly there for drinks, but the service truly made the visit stand out. The young women who took care of our table were patient, friendly, and very attentive. Even with a large group, we never felt rushed and were able to enjoy our time comfortably. It was a relaxed and enjoyable visit, and we would definitely return.

The servers were great and checked in regularly to make sure we were good. We also appreciated what I think was the manager watching our drinks because at $6 a martini we had to have one more, yes, they were that good. We stood for maybe 2.5 hrs and left so happy with a full belly and new memories created. Definitely a cute little spot for a solo quick bite, a nice little date night that's more on the casual side, or coming with a group of friends. While we came here for lunch during the week they did have other great food options available and weekend specials if that's something of interest. The ambiance is sexy and grown and still has a sports bar vibe. It's warm and inviting as well as cozy with the lighting. They have a fully stocked bar with 2 bars front and back. As mentioned earlier, they have daily and weekend specials for both food and drink. This place is definitely a must try and I will be coming back.

All but one round of drinks were at the happy hour price and each drink was now $20. It's odd because the food happy hour orders didn't go up but the drinks did? Either way, we didn't agree with the bill and after some discussion with the bartender, it was lowered but they tacked on an automatic gratuity (I guess as a way to compensate) but it was only two of us, so that should have never happened, especially since gratuity is optional. This experience honestly ruined the vibe and our willingness to come back again. It's really a shame because we looked forward to Monday happy hour because getting good drinks at that price is rare in the city and is a nice gem when it happens. I understand the desire to cash in on events like this, but your originality and integrity is what keeps customers and return customers. I'm sorry but I don't think I'll be back, even though it's a nice establishment. This experience was just too sour.

By comparison, the new one is much better and much more fitting, while still being moderately loud but not earsplitting, presumably due to both the ceilings being a lot higher and the tables being more spaced apart. It's also a lot brighter, with plenty of mirrors on the wall and larger tables. As mentioned by most others, the portions here are rather massive for NYC, even in comparison to some diners and delicatessens, which makes the prices pretty reasonable. Our large group went here for something I rarely do: brunch. The servers were reasonably overwhelmed, but still friendly. Knowing how big the portions are, I only ordered the $22 Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which is typically served with pepper jack cheese, crispy onions, and hot sour pickles on a home-baked brioche bun. I did something I rarely do, which was ask for a substitution. In this case, it was cheddar instead of pepper jack, and it was obliged. The sandwich was quite large and a bit difficult to pick up, as it was pretty messy, but the flavor was nice. The chicken was juicy, the batter was pretty light, and there was a load of crispy onions. The pickles added a bit of sour crunch and a bit of heat, and the bun did just well enough to keep it all together. Overall, it was tasty. In terms of other dishes, there were a ton. I had one of the many tasty Deviled Eggs for $15, served with pickled mustard seed, smoked paprika, and pickle chips. From the same appetizer section, I particularly enjoyed the $13 Okra & Chilies, made from smoked & pickled okra, red pepper flakes, and scallion. I liked the smokiness, and the okra had some good grill marks, with this being the lightest dish on the table, outside of the Pickle Sampler someone else got. If you're looking to have a heart attack, I would order the decent $19 Poutine. Featuring fries smothered in brown gravy, cheese, and a hollandaise drizzle, I would compare it more to disco fries or other forms of loaded fries. This was due to the lack of cheese curds and the style of gravy. Outside of the comically massive portion, it's fine. In terms of other mains, a few had the two types of Smothered Chicken, either with sausage or mushrooms, for $24. Someone else ordered the non-spicy version of the same sandwich I got. Finally, another got the gigantic $24 Chicken & Waffles, consisting of buttermilk fried chicken, a golden waffle, house maple butter, and powdered sugar. There was also another entree, but I don't remember the details. I preferred this experience a lot more than the previous time and would recommend them for brunch, at least. Just come very hungry.
