Great food hall in a centrally located area full of options. I personally had to get F&F pizza since I've heard good things about them. Come here if you want a variety of food options within an upscale vibe read more

There's a lot to love about Shaver Hall, I want to be as open minded as possible for this space. Aesthetically, this place hit a home run - beautiful inside, intelligent lighting, and overall feels inviting when you are inside. First impression is solid. The choices for food tenants are also great. Diners have many options, variety of diverse cuisines. The seating options are varied and ideal: high tops, lots of large tables, and plenty of smaller square tables, so whether you are with yourself or with 10 others, there are plenty of places to park your people. Now, there are some major issues that cause this place to not earn top marks. Let's start with the sound system: Shaver Hall is LOUD inside whenever there is entertainment on the stage or a special sporting event being broadcast. Now don't get me wrong - I love that Shaver has added in live music, band karaoke, and dedicated broadcasting of the US Open/NFL kickoff, but whoever is in charge of the sound system needs to tone it down considerably - the level of volume makes it nearly impossible to hear what one's fellow guests are talking about at the same table - it has often felt like a concert venue in there. Now let's discuss the bar/beverage offerings: The Layaway bar in the center of the room looks superb with its art deco-inspired architecture. But the staffing of this bar was done in haste, and there is no systematic procedural fluency displayed by the bar staff, which indicates that Shaver Hall spent no time and effort hiring experienced bartenders and bar managers, nor did they train them to be operational behind the bar. Case and point: On my first visit, I ordered a bottled beer. The bartender did not have a bottle opener in their pocket - they asked a second bartender who also did not have one, and there was no bottle opener at either bartender's workstation. After two minutes of holding a beer and not having a way to open it, I just asked for the bottle and opened it myself. A bottle opener should be in every bartender's pocket or at least at their workstation within an arm's reach. The 12oz beer cost $10, and it was NOT a double IPA - too expensive, even for midtown Manhattan. On my second visit, there were four team members behind the bar when I walked up, and the square-shaped bar had maybe 8-10 guests sitting at it, so at best it was 25% full. None of the team members who were walking circles (or I guess squares) around the bar looked up to acknowledge a new guest - it seemed like they were not playing zone defense and staying to their side of the quadrilateral in order to handle the needs of new guests right away. Finally, after being seen by someone, I ordered a glass of wine. The bartender did not have a wine key to open a bottle of wine, nor was there a wine key at their work station. Once again, a search ensued, this time for a way to open the bottle of wine. Again, this is a tool that should be in the pocket of every bartender at every bar, or at least in front of them at all times with their shakers and strainers. The process took way too long and was indiciative of leadership not preparing their staff for service and team members not preparing themselves to do their job properly. On my third visit, I discovered there is an attribute of Shaver Hall which, upon first glance, looks fun and unique - they have a serve-yourself Wine Wall where a guest can grab a tap card from the Bodega register, choose whatever wine or cocktail is on tap (about 16 to choose from), tap the card, fill their glass, and pay at the Bodega register based on how much they have filled it (prices are listed per ounce). Again - sounds like fun, right? Well, has anyone reading this ever struggled with a gas pump that just would not cooperate in order to get to a nice round sale number? You squeeze ever so slightly to get a couple of pennies more, but you go over by fifty-to-sixty cents because the mechanism is so tight? Multiply that experience times ten and you have the frustration that is the Shaver Hall Wine Wall. I tried to pour TWO different wines at $2.75 per ounce for TWO five-ounce pours - should have been $27.50 total. BUT, then they don't tell you there is a fee tacked on (may have actually been sales tax but still it was not advertised as "$2.75/oz + tax"), and there is a prompt to tip the bodega staff for doing nothing. Furthermore, my attempt at $27.50 in wine ended up being $39.00 because the Wine Wall would not pour tiny amounts, and each wine ended up well over 6+ ounces despite my attempt to not go over 5 ounces each. I confronted the Bodega staff about this, they just shrugged their shoulders as if they knew they were getting away with a racket. Bottom line: This place has areas of improvement that can make it a 4-5 star experience, I hope they figure out how to properly offer beverages and regulate the decibel levels. read more

I first saw this place in one of the reels and honestly, I was a little sad because it replaced the iconic Lord & Taylor store that had been here for decades. But Shaver Hall is a newly opened food hall, and I have to say, it brings a fresh and classy touch to the area. It has 11 eateries where you can order and sit anywhere, along with 3 restaurants and 2 bars. The décor and ambience are very elegant and nicely done. We tried the Chicken Shawarma Bowl from ZaZu Mediterranean ($18) and pasta from Pastasole ($17), and both were really good. If you're around 5th Avenue and tired from shopping, this is a nice new place to take a break, especially with Bryant Park and NY Public Library nearby. I also liked the old photos displayed on a couple of walls -- a nice touch connecting the new space with its past. The area around it has plenty to see and explore. Definitely worth checking out if you are nearby read more

Really cool and neat foodhall near train station and they open late with live entertainment. We had Pick and cheese which was a neat concept of a conveyer belt charcuterie board. Good options and lots of dining space. read more

This place is nice. I liked walking in because it was air conditioned, and we were hot from the August heat in New York. My wife and I were on a little date. We ate at two different places, but together in the hall. The only thing is, I wish I had known about it earlier, I would have come here more. At Taqueria El Pastor my wife got two tacos and enjoyed them. I went to the chicken place and got a chicken sandwich, and it turned out to be Korean barbecue chicken, which was very good. Eleanor, our server, was very kind and nice. I enjoyed it all. read more

I'm a huge fan of food halls, so I was excited to check out this new culinary destination in town! Our first stop was the famed Pick & Cheese, and it was every bit as delightful as I'd hoped. Now the challenge is deciding where to go next. Chic-Chic? Taqueria? Or maybe Tompkins Square Bagels? The choices are dangerously tempting! At this rate, I'll just have to keep coming back until I've worked my way through every stall. A delicious problem to have! read more

Eating a slice of Cacio e Pepe at F & F Pizzeria that Sam gave me. It's always a joy to be here. A guitarist is playing and the US Open is being screened behind. Maybe it's not a good idea to have pizza late in the evening as this slice was quite leathery. I still prefer Cello's. read more

Opening day June 26, 2026, I went around 5:30pm. Had a nice low key crowd. It wasn't as busy as I thought it might be on opening day (keep in mind it's a summer Friday when some New Yorkers flee the city... it might not be on tourist's radar quite yet, even with all the social media and World Cup soccer traffic). Ambiance is a little more elevated than Time Out Union Square... each eatery has a customized sign unlike Time Out which chose a uniform sign design. I wish them tons of luck, I'm so happy to see the former Lord & Taylor space finally occupied again (I still mourn the loss of L&T)... I hate to say this, but I wonder if Food Halls have lost their appeal? the Pick & Cheese conveyor belt cheese is smart and possibly the spot for those IG videos/pix. They have a good variety of food, but none really wowed me. If they're smart they will allow vendors to collaborate with outside food vendors, to keep things interesting (build on pop ups popularity). Feel like they need a fun, trendy dessert option, besides gelato. Some of the vendors at Shaver Hall: F&F Pizza, smart they are selling by the slice or full pie. People will want some lower price point options. Slices start $5. Tallow Butcher Shop, great menu with burgers and French dips, fries $16-30+ ZaZu, Mediterranean Pastasole Tompkins' Square Bagels Tonchinette, ramen Butter Chicken Social, Indian Taqueria Al Pastor, tacos, quesadillas and more Chick Chick, Korean fried chicken Pick & Cheese, famous in London, conveyor belt read more

One of the best gourmet grass fed grain fished hanger steaks I've had. Excellent attentive service and friendly staff. Never had an empty glass (beer and water). A tad bit pricey but hey it is New York. And if you don't like steaks the food court is sure to offer something you like. Plus it's very clean and security did well keeping out the homeless harassing people on the street outside. Sadly that's NYC these days, more mental institution patients walking the streets. But if you find yourself unsure of what to eat, the options here are excellent and there's a giant bar in the middle of the food court with lots of sports on TV to choose from. Well done, I'll be back. read more

Came here on opening day for a coffee. When I walked in I was greeted by one of the hosts. He was very nice and showed me around and to where the coffee area is. This is a food hall with different types of restaurants/ booths. They have a bagel spot open in the morning and this coffee area is too. It is Tompskins square bagels that are here. For the coffee they just pour your coffee in a cup then you put your own milk in. I never did this before as I asked for an iced latte. The price is pretty high here for them just to put a shot or two of coffee in a cup with ice. I think it was over 10.00! with tip and all. This place also has a pour it yourself wine and beer wall. I will come back another time when I can experience some of the other restaurants and bars here. There is also a cheese spot that has a conveyor belt of cheeses, so I will also be checking that out too. read more

Two things can be true: more people should know about this; I should gatekeep this for myself. Okay, I guess I can't really gatekeep if I live 200 miles away, but as a frequent visitor to the city, this is a great stop whether you're solo or with a group. It's got it all. We specifically went for Pick & Cheese, but this place has so many great choices. read more

Normally, I don't get too excited about food halls anymore, but this one is in the former Lord & Taylor building. What's more, none that I know of have a spot that samples artisanal cheese on a conveyor belt. Note: this is the Amazon NY Corp building, and they keep the exterior looking the same as Load & Taylor did. Shaver Hall also happens to have a food stall from F&F Pizzeria, a Taqueria Al Pastor, a full bar, an Omakase, and a Tallow Steakhouse with a stall and a full size restaurant on the side corner of the block. Plus Pick & Cheese, Mako, Butter Chicken Social, Tallow Butcher Shop, and more. The place is big, corner to corner, but I am afraid that the location on 5th Ave between Bryant Park and the Empire State Building will make this a crowded space during lunch and after work. read more

Tompkins is in midtown!!!! Still too east but I digress. Tasted just like regular Tompkins and was absolutely delicious. Turkey bacon, egg, and cheddar on a French toast bagel thank me later. Space is gorgeous, tons of vendors and seating even an area for love music or performances. read more

Overall, Shaver Hall is a really cool place. It's clean and the staff is very friendly. There is a great variety of different types of food and there is plenty of seating. Even during the busy lunch rush you can still get a seat. I have only be to 3 places so far but my favorite is Biddrina, they sell the best gelato. read more

Not just a food hall. It has a stage and giant TVs for event like Oktoberfest. From steakhouse to sushi to ramen to tacos to cheese to bagels and even a bodega that sells beer and wine by the ounce. The place such clean and inviting. The bathrooms are so so clean for a food hall. They have happy hours. They have festivals. A nice place to chill even if you are not eating or drinking. I love this new addition to my neighborhood. read more

Amazon's Shaver Hall finally opened and it's super nice in here. There's a very nice variety of vendors to choose from, Mexican, Pizza, Mediterranean, Pasta, Ramen, Indian, Sushi, full bar, and even an ice cream shop. I have to say, a lot of these vendors are overpriced. They have a stage in the middle for performers, which I have yet to see happen. There's also some big TV screens on the stage, which is clutch for any sporting events. read more

Just went for the first time and took some italian business friends. The atmosphere was cold and disappointing as was the food. We chose Tallow butcher and what a rip off for a burger , small, simple overcooked with burnt fries over $30 per person. Will not give it a second chance. read more

We found this great space as we were walking down 5 th Ave. It is a high end food court if you would. It is anchored by a great bar and has pizza, Tallow ( a butcher shop) with beef, great Mexican, chicken, you name it. They have live music that is great! The staff is friendly and considerate. Best time we had. Watched a ballgame at the bar and Cubs beat the Yankees! It was a dream come true. The food was wonderful and we left feeling great. You have to try this place. I know that you will agree. It is a 10!!! read more

Nice new bougie food hall in Midtown that opened just last week. While everything is a little pricey as one would expect it's real nice inside and there are some pretty unique offerings. One of the best features so far is that some of these spots are open as late as 11pm which is a surprising rarity for this part of town. read more

Whole place like a mall food court. Bar was good with decent regular drinks. But vibe in hall so so with communal tables. Had burger and fries at Tallow Butcher Shop. Two options on basic burger - medium rare or medium well. Went with med rare because who wants a dry burger? Came just as described. Tasty, but had an odd smell. Fries were way over done and had same strange smell and odd flavor, almost like mildewy. Weird seasoning maybe? Not sure. Could not eat. read more

I was excited about this place.. my husband used to work in this former building and the pictures were so pretty that on the first opportunity I had to go visit, I did. That's where the excitement ended. This place was big, variety of selection plus live music. So much potential to be great but the service and execution of this place left me with no desire to go back. I first walked in and went to layaway .. $22 mango margarita that tasted like mango juice. Super thick and yes I like mango juice but it's a drink. As me and my coworker were sitting the hostess shoots between us in the middle as we're conversing to yell at the bartender to stop asking them to change channels and the bartender argued that they are not which then she says yes you are. Me and my coworkers are looking at each other like we got to a house party that the people are still cleaning and prepping for and the vibes are that we arrived before they were ready to open! Ok so we left Layway and tried their self pour margarita advertised as $2.95 an ounce. REALLYYYY talk about misleading information!!! We are drinking and we are supposed to sit there and calculate how many ounces in a glass and apparently she ordered two drinks and the machine kept pouring the drink which got all over her. 20 minutes later she got two radioactive green drinks that possibly extend your life ! Yuck #2 . We then went and had some Tacos which were good and they had their life together and delivered food promptly. So we spent $80 for 4 terrible drinks and bad service. So unfortunately I don't see myself coming back again. read more

Where do I start ...from the very friendly hostess when you walk in, the amazing decor, huge big screen tv where soccer was on, to a nice size stage up front which I'm assuming a band will play. Bathrooms were very clean and smelled sanitized. So many choices of food to choose from and because it's the summer have to maintain this summer body we chose Norihana. Our hand held rolls were excellent, spicy tuna was amazing. Let's not forget the potato salad appetizer, never have I had anything this amazing. Max was a delight. He helped us choose the rolls and was accurate about how good they were. Will definitely go there again. Next stop which I had no business doing was having gelato at Biddrina. The flavors were new to me . Had two separate scoops of pistachio and blood orange. With a pirouette on the side , it was a party in my mouth. Sooooo good! I can't wait for another cheat day for lunch to go back to this establishment. They're brand new just opened and wish them a bountiful of blessings and success. read more
