Mushroom and Pepper Pizza
Chris E.

A really, nice, modern cafeteria. Although I'm not an employee at the hospital, I've found myself here my fair share of times to appreciate the cafe's existence when in need of a quick meal. The Tisch Cafe can easily be found by following the blue path (left of the main entrance) all of the way to the end. Inside, you'll find rows and rows of tables, chairs and booths that can accommodate quite a large crowd. The food served inside is pretty typical of what you would find outside on the streets. There are stations for made-to-order sandwiches, pasta dishes, pizzas, meat and sides and salads. If you're in need of a beverage, they have it all, whatever you're into. Free water can be acquired at a water dispenser to the right of the cafe area. I've had the opportunity to try their pizzas and salads and both were really good, especially the pizzas. Although the personal pies here don't look that big, they actually hit the spot and fill you right up with the very last bite. The fact that the hospital is located on 1st Avenue, away from much of civilization west of it, it is easy to find yourself at the cafe quite often if you're in the area. And to be honest, it's a really, really good option!

Been to a lot of hospital cafeteria's but this one is probably the cleanest and updated modern one I've seen. Prices are city prices, half a sandwich or wrap is like $3. Sushi is like $8 for a tiny roll. Drinks are $2 - $4. There's a deli station, ramen, and boston market style station for your food choices and of course pizza for those who are on a budget. Lots of outlets for plugging in and charging your phone or laptop. Some have usb ports, while others have the regular outlets. Lots of seating and tables to hangout and chill.

There is really nothing much to say about this cafe. It's in a Nyu main busking and there is not other cafeteria that you could go. Does it get the job done yes it does the sitting is good but the fod is just regular and prices are high for hospital. Went there Monday night and had stay with a friend for broken legg, I tried to get some food. Did we really like it know but it gets the craving done. I should have order form outside, I could get it cheaper and better probably. The people are bey friendly and help you right away . They do have dunkin donut coffe, which I really don't like it at all . It's convince for the people you have to stay over the night in the hospital that they could get some food in emergency if needed.

This cafeteria is made so nice. Fresh and delicious food. The prices are super reasonable. Good thing, you do not to be a patient, visitor or employee to eat at this place. It has wide windows looking at 1st ave. Extremely clean, nice staff.

Best pizza ever, and that's not a joke. The burrata pizza is heaven on a plate. Also the new taco bowls are good. Also the forbidden rice.

Senior Luncheon, Thursday, August 27, 2026 @ 1p.m. Table for 8…read more We were each escorted to our table by Jay as we arrived. We were in a cute little back area with our own restroom steps away. The service staff was very welcoming, friendly, courteous, patient, and very helpful. Salmon BLT with fries. The lady says it was delicious moist and very fiilling. Spicy Salmon tartar. The lady enjoyed this very much. Original burger done medium with fries. The lady enjoy half her meal because it was so filling and tasty. She took the rest to go. Tomato soup with Grilled cheese combo. The gentleman enjoyed every drop and bite. Watermelon salad was refreshing with the toppings. Another burger well done. The lady enjoyed the burger but, couldn't finished the fries so, her sidekick enjoyed them. Two grain bowls one with chicken and one without. The chicken was shared between both bowls. The bowls were eaten clean so, I guess they were yummy. The Half Chicken and waffle was amazingly moist and delicious. And I got a side of bacon to balance off the sweetness of the syrup. Lemonade was refreshing. Coffee was fresh and hit the spot( all three cups) This place was quite busy the whole time we were here. They have outside tables as well. Where we were the wall was up so we were inside with an outside veiw and feel. Stop in if you are in the neighborhood.

Well, I was on my way to work and had about 45 minutes before I start, so I figured I'd drop into…read morethe good ol' "Cafeteria"! This was the spot to go to after hitting the clubs downtown! Oh, the memories.. I really wanted breakfast but it was like 4pm and that menu option wasn't available but the host mentioned that they have a Happy Hour deal at the bar so I figured why not. Let me check out what they have to offer. They had some happy hour beverages but I'm not a big drinker. Besides I had to go to work. But for those who like wine, one type of IPA and margaritas, they had some special specials on those drinks. And on the food, can't remember what they really had besides the Mac and cheese dumplings, which I have never heard of, but I was ready to explore. So I ordered the dumplings with the cheese dipping sauce and they were OK. Not really my thing and I don't know if I will order them again per se but they were OK in my opinion. Next visit I'll try to get there for Breakfast/Brunch or dinner because I know those menus have some great options!

I was looking for a place to hang out while waiting for a few friends to see a Broadway show…read moretogether. The Woo Woo is in the heart of the theater district, and it looked fun! I didn't realize I was stumbling into a speakeasy. Password is enforced, but easily accessible! I found myself walking into a basement, and before me was a small sex shop equipped with toys, Playboy magazines, and tapes.... LOL after the host verified the password and welcomed me in, I was prompted to go into a curtain and walk through a bookcase. The space is so fun! I loved the decorations and the lights - it was giving a very fun, silly, 80s vibe. All the tables seemed to be reserved at the time, so I sat at the bar. Service was kind, friendly, and quick! I ordered a couple of drinks and the Happiest Meal, which is basically an adult Happy Meal. It comes with a small 80s toy, a cocktail of your choice, and food. I ordered the fish tacos along with the Eye of the Tiger cocktail. The bartender was really nice and explained how the space used to be a peep show in the 80s, which is why they leaned into the bit when opening the speakeasy. And there are brunch specials and karaoke sing-alongs on the weekends, and later in the night, a DJ comes in. What a surprise - I have to come back!

Review #1,122 Posted on 10.6.26…read more We came here for some drinks after some shows on Thursday night September 16th when in town in New York for my wife's 40th birthday. This spot was a cool place for gathering. It's a dark inside atmosphere, almost like a club, but not too loud either. Speakeasy's are the hip new thing for a bit now, and this 80's themed one didn't disappoint. They kept the jams going, and got the drinks out fast, & there was plenty of space to sit too.

Slow down. Be Present. Show gratitude…read more After a failed shopping attempt and noticing how optimal the weather was on this sunshiny, low-humidity Aug 29th, it only convinced me to take my time and hang out in the city a little longer. While walking around the Flatiron district, I came across The Smith. This New Yorker only knew about the Midtown East location, so I was quite happy to take this opportunity to walk in and grab a seat at the bar. Adam, my server, greeted me with such welcoming enthusiasm, he filled the mood perfectly with lively and accommodating energy, that I felt immediately comfortable during my solo dine. I couldn't help but absorb the inviting atmosphere of my surroundings, as well as people watch while others appeared to do the same. This moment literally gave me time to relax and smell the roses...blessed. Moving on to my review. The Smith has so many diverse, new American dishes. No wonder others enjoy this mini-chain of restaurants. Dishes I noticed on the menu were the Smoked Salmon Potato Waffle, Baked Eggs alla Vodka, Benedict Johnny, Potato Chips with Blue Cheese and Onion Fondue, just to name a few. I kept it simple and ordered a light, yet filling bite of the Spicy Salmon Tartare. This appetizer lived up to its name...it was deliciously rich and spicy. I need to go back to try some of their other comfort offerings. So I'm planning my next solo dining experience or if someone wants to tag along, to relive my experience at this American Brasserie called The Smith.

Aside from Thanksgiving dinner I've experienced at The Smith for two consecutive years, this…read morebusiness is a solid and fun go-to restaurant for brunch, lunch and dinner. I visited the Nomad spot equally compared to their Lincoln Center address, not to mention their Midtown East Side location a couple times as well. There's also a 4th, in the East Village which I haven't visited. Finally, they secured a space in Times Square for their upcoming 5th NYC location. A recent and gorgeous summer day allowed us to make a later lunch pit stop here. Sitting semi outdoors (indoors but with all floor windows/door open), it almost felt like al fresco dining. We had twin meals. I couldn't pass up on their veggie burger with all "the works". By veggie, it included mushrooms, Kale, Quinoa, jalapeño and more. The works topped this delicious burger with a special sauce, pickles, tomatoes and onions. So very good. The shoestring, crispy Fries AND the Captain Lawrence beer on draft was the best marriage to the excellent burger. Since the space is large, it always tends to get noisy but, yup, I'm a huge The Smith fan!
