They have food and dessert vendors on the first floor and rooftop area on the 5th floor. There were dj's on both floors. We chilled on the rooftop area where there were tons of seating. They have a large dining area to sit and eat and drink. They had chairs and couches to chill and enjoy NYC water and Skyviews. The DJ (DJ Stretch) on the rooftop was amazing and played a lot of old school music from different genres. The venue was packed on Valentines day (2025). There was also an amazing violinist, (Judithviolinist on IG). This is definitely a place to check out and get your grub on or just sit and chill. There's tons of seats available picnic style or lounge/ sofa seating.

They have a variety of different options and all ca be preferred directly from table via QR codes. Our group ordered smash burgers, quesadillas and a Reuben. We were also able to order beers directly to us. The burgers and quesadilla and chips came out almost immediately but the Reuben took for-ev-er. To the point that all our other food was gone and we had to go check on if the order actually went through. It did...they were just sloooooow. Upside, it was tasty. This spot also has a great rooftop area with excellent views of the bridge. On nicer nights it would be a great place to hang out. If your headed over the bridge for a night, this place is worth checking out as it's also right nearby the instagram-able views!

Boyfriend and I stopped by Urban Hawker for lunch before our Broadway show, which was only located…read moresome minutes walking distance away. Urban Hawker isn't a restaurant, but a food hall with lots of Singaporean and Malaysian food vendors. This means lots of different options to choose from. :) We split a Hainanese chicken rice plate and an order of chicken and lamb skewers, both of which tasted very yummy. While we also wanted to try a dessert, the dessert stall we were interested in was unmanned. We were also feeling pretty full from our main lunch items.

I heard about this Asian Singaporean inspired food hall in the middle of Midtown, so I was curious…read moreto try it out. I finally stopped by for dinner around 5-6pm. From my initial impression, I was honestly kind of underwhelmed. When I first entered, it seemed like a ghost town with so many of the tables empty like it had just opened minutes ago. Towards the later evening after 6:30-7pm, it started to get packed towards the back. This food hall consisted of several stalls mostly Singaporean & Indian cuisines - with some hint of Filipino, Chinese, Malaysian , etc. You order, find a table and pick up your food when it's ready. [Just note that some dishes come out in plastic containers as if you are taking it to-go even though you are dining in]. I opted for a Singaporean spot called Prawnaholic and opted for the #3 HOKKIEN MEE. Don't get me wrong, it was good. But I'm not sure that the dish was that good to equate the cost in terms of portion size or taste. Maybe if it was slightly cheaper, I could make sense of coming back, but otherwise, I think I would prefer buying other dishes elsewhere. Overall, I find that price are high (typical midtown prices for foods) for average tasting foods. I personally was okay with trying it once and would prefer other food options as opposed to this food hall.

It was relatively quiet when I visited at 6:00pm on a Wednesday, but hoping the lunchtime rush is enough to keep the hall open!

This is an especially great place if your party cannot otherwise decide in a single type of cuisine. Everyone can fan out and find something that pleases them. We got there right before 11am, which is opening hour for many of the vendors. Everything seems ostensibly "carryout", even if the place where many carry what they buy are the shared tables in central spaces. We spent around $20 each for lunch, which is cheap when you compare it to many NYC options a cut above fast food. For quality and value, it'd be much easier to do worse than here than to do better.

The description of "diverse global cuisines" is extremely accurate. I was there on a Sunday; it was crowded but the lines weren't too long and we were able to find seating. They have tables for small or larger parties. One scary moment was when the police were looking for someone. I was startled when I walked out of the ladies room and they almost ran into me because they were on the hunt for someone. I hope they caught the person and I hope everyone is safe. There's a pretty heavy police presence in the area (or maybe it was the day I was there).

I don't spend a lot of time in Brooklyn, so I actually had no idea that the Dekalb Market Hall was a thing until I started zooming in/out on Google Maps. This sounded like the best idea for our group of 4 - we could all get whatever we wanted to eat without having to compromise on one cuisine! Jokes on us, 3/4 of us ended up getting food at Hainan Jones. I had a grilled chicken bowl from Wiki Wiki and we also had boba from Tea Makers. Everything at Hainan Jones was great. The bowl at Wiki Wiki was really good. The boba was just fine. You really can't go wrong with Dekalb Market Hall, there are literally so many options. When we were leaving, we realized there was an entire whole section that we had not even realized was there! A plus is that there are bathrooms inside so you can use it before you leave.

Best food court in NYC !!!…read more I have probably ate at 1,000 different stalls inside the New World Mall food court over the years, so let me be its 1,000th review. Seems fitting. Considering I just did another mini food tour with my friends today, this place has been my go to for a quick bite in Flushing since its inception. Not a whole lot of the stalls have lasted over the years, but a handful remain, while the new entrants keeps the food court interesting. Below is the current list of vendors as of May 2025. I also added my favorite item from some of my usual spots. #2 Chongqing Zaier (Yunnan) #3 Ke Lai Qin (Hunan) - chili fish head #4 Joe's Steam Rice Roll (Cantonese) - shrimp roll #5 Tarim Uyghur Cuisine (Uyghur) - lamb skewer #6 A Zhong (Taiwanese) - thread noodle soup #7 Kung Fu Tea (Boba Shop) #8 Grilled Squid (Korean, Chinese) #9 Xiao Luo Luo (Guanxie) #10 Xiang Ba Ye (Hunan) #11 Piaoxiang Yuan (Dongbei) - potato noodles #12 Tiger Sugar (Boba Shop) - black sugar milk tea #13 Gong Cha (Boba Shop) #14 Lanzhou Handmade Noodle (Lanzhou) #16 Laoma Ma La Tang (Szechuan) - mixed dry pot #18 Eight Beautitudes (Korean) #19 Chong Qung Xiao Mian (Szechuan) - spicy noodle #20 Yozi Duck Vermicelli Soup (Shanghai) - duck soup #21 Nai Brother (Szechuan) - sauerkraut fish #22 Mr. Pang (Taiwanese) #23 Ramen & Udon (Japanese) #24 Tian Fu (Szechuan) #25 Chick Rocks (Chicken Shop) #26 Mojoilla Fresh (Taiwan) - egg waffle #27 Royal Queen (Cantonese) - roast meats #28 Xi'an Cuisines (Xian) - lamb burger #29 Liu Liu Sheng Jian (Shanghai) - soup dumplings #30 C/K Dumplings & Noodles (Dongbei) - dumplings #31a O'Sun Teriyaki (Japanese) #31b Wang's Beef Offal House (Cantonese) - beef I do wish this place was cleaner, smells better and have free wifi service.

The food court also has cool vending machines with blind boxes that are sometimes hard to find which is nice. If you live here it's pretty convenient place to stop by.

Thank you Anthony, Milton and the rest of the team for this fantastic sandwich experience. Fabulous customer service. Run to Time Out Market USQ for their incredible Italian sandwiches.

This used to be another unused office building atrium until several years ago they reconstructed it to be a semi Scandinavian minimalist design-inspired indoor park space replete with faux trees, glass baubles hanging from a ceiling decorated with narrow wooden panels. Seating in the form of smaller tables for 4-6, communal tables for 8-10, and bar tables areas are spread over a central tiled ground floor. Along the south side of the space, two sets of stairs (and an elevator) going up to street level are sandwiched between wooden risers that can be used for seating as well. Chairs and small coffee tables are available on the second floor overlooking the below too. Getting to the food: - Teranga: West African bowls that are flavorful and delicious, their juice options are great too. Jollof rice, Yassa and Shay chicken, kewelele (sweet plantains), and my favorite Bouye drink. - Miznon: Israeli/Mediterranean food, yummy schnitzel, roasted cauliflower, stuffed pita sandwiches. - Petit Maman: coffee shop with baked pastries and fresh sandwiches. - KazuNori Handroll Bar: sushi handrolls a bit pricier though tasty, fresh seafood. - Pesce Lulu Seafood Kitchen: I haven't eaten at this one personally though their mahi mahi fish tacos, grilled salmon bowl and fisherman's soup are well known here.
