Brooklyn Chop House Times Square<\/h2>\n

Believe it or not, the Brooklyn Chop House isn\u2019t actually from Brooklyn \u2013the original is in the Financial District! But what does it matter? Brooklyn Chop House<\/a> knows its way around a cut of meat. The steaks here are excellent but what makes this spot special is that the menu is also loaded with another unexpected yet delicious item: dim sum.<\/p>\n

Dumplings galore, plus satays, fried rice dishes, and other pan-Asian favorites.<\/p>\n

Casellula<\/h2>\n

Intimate and romantic, Casellula<\/a> is a wine-and-cheese focused spot that is a lovely place to wile away an evening. The menu offers a diverse selection of cheeses, ranging from the more familiar to unfamiliar, and the inoffensive to the sharp and potent. Casellula\u2019s wine list curators have a proclivity and love of lesser-known wine regions.<\/p>\n

Want to try a malvazija from Slovenia paired with a smokey goat cheese? Or a deep red blend from the Spanish region of Arag\u00f3n with an earthy, grassy sheep cheese from upstate New York? Then Casellula is your spot.<\/p>\n

Danji<\/h2>\n

Big tables and small plates define hot shot chef Hooni Kim\u2019s Korean eatery in Hell\u2019s Kitchen. Get cozy at one of the large communal tables and indulge in Danji\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0inventive Korean fare. Notable menu items include sausage-spiked fried rice cakes, bulgogi beef sliders, or fresh noodles paired with Niman ranch pork belly and black bean sauce.<\/p>\n

Don Antonio<\/h2>\n

Since 1901, the original Don Antonio<\/a>\u00a0outpost has been firing up pies in the pizza heaven known as Naples. And since 2012, Don Antonio has been making moves in Hell\u2019s Kitchen \u2014and they may just make one of the best Neapolitan pies in New York City.<\/p>\n

Do yourself a favor and tuck into a classic Margherita with mozzarella di bufala or one of their more creatively topped pizzas, like the pistacchio salchiccia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Empanada Mama<\/h2>\n

Restaurants near Broadway NYC can oftentimes skimp on quality. But this mama likes big flavors in small packages. There are over 40 different empanadas on the menu at this lively spot, some filled with unlikely but delicious ingredients.<\/p>\n

Empanada Mama\u2019s<\/a> hits include jerk chicken and Swiss cheese, seafood stew, Colombian pork sausage, and even a cheeseburger-stuffed empanada.<\/p>\n

Farida<\/h2>\n

Farida<\/a> is an Uzbek restaurant and it\u2019s pretty darn excellent. First-timers should order the manti,<\/em> luscious lamb-stuffed dumplings, which one can find everywhere from Turkey to the Central Asian \u201cstan\u201d countries. The flaky beef-filled samosa-like sams<\/em>a, and the shurpa<\/em>, a traditional Uzbek beef soup, are also a must.<\/p>\n

Farida also brings in dishes from the Soviet world, like amazing\u00a0kharcho<\/em>, a lamb soup from the Republic of Georgia<\/a>, Kazakh noodle dishes, and Ukrainian borscht.<\/p>\n

Ippudo Westside<\/h2>\n

Ever since Japanese ramen chain Ippudo<\/a> opened on Fourth Avenue and East 10th Street in 2008, they have had a perpetual line of diners crowd outside their shop, patiently waiting to try their outstanding ramen soups.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for us, and particularly for those in and around the Theater District, there\u2019s now another location on West 51st Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. Order any of the pork-centric ramen bowls and you\u2019ll end up very happy.<\/p>\n

Los Tacos No. 1<\/h2>\n

The original Los Tacos No. 1<\/a> is in Chelsea Market and pretty much any time you go, you\u2019ll be welcomed by a daunting, ever-present line of hungry taco fans. They recently opened a location on West 44th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues and, while there may be a wait at times, it\u2019s usually not as long as the original spot.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, once you bite into the excellent adobada<\/em> taco (which is their take on\u00a0al pastor<\/em>), you\u2019ll be happy you waited in line for what is probably one of the best tacos in New York City.<\/p>\n

LumLum<\/h2>\n

Slang for \u201cdelicious\u201d in a northern Thai dialect, LumLum<\/a> stands out among the crowded Hell\u2019s Kitchen\/Theater District Thai food landscape.\u00a0Despite the Northern Thai-referencing name, it isn\u2019t an Isaan<\/em>-leaning menu, as has been the trend with Thai restaurants of late. LumLum’s menu features dishes from all around Thailand.<\/p>\n

The seafood here is particularly tasty \u2014 the whole fish and giant river shrimp are two standouts.<\/p>\n

Natsumi<\/h2>\n

Natsumi<\/span><\/a> is not only a very solid Japanese restaurant, but it also has an Italian accent to it. You can get very good traditional Japanese staples here, including sushi, but the menu also has inventive dishes like green tea gnocchi and tofu ravioli stuffed with shiitake mushrooms, drizzled with a Parmesan cream sauce. <\/span><\/p>\n

If Japan and Italy somehow collided, it would taste a lot like what they\u2019re making at Natsumi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meske<\/h2>\n

New York City has only a small handful of Ethiopian restaurants and Meske<\/a> is one of the best in Manhattan. For those uninitiated in Ethiopian culinary customs, the way to do it is to order a number of stewed meat and vegetable dishes, which arrive on a platter and sit atop a layer of injera<\/em>, a spongy bread that is a hallmark of this East African cuisine.<\/p>\n

Rather than using silverware, diners are given extra piece of\u00a0injera, <\/em>using it to\u00a0scoop up the different medley of ingredients.<\/p>\n

Nizza<\/h2>\n

\u201cNizza\u201d is the Italian word for the French Riviera metropolis, Nice. The name gives you a sense of the food here: Ligurian cuisine from the Italian Riviera, but mixed with some French influence. As one would expect, Nizza<\/a> excels at seafood-based pasta dishes, but they also offer some very solid pizzas.<\/p>\n

For the daring and thirsty, Nizza also has a fun, bibulous bottomless brunch on weekends.<\/p>\n

Sushi of Gari 46<\/h2>\n

There are four locations of Sushi of Gari<\/a> sprinkled around Manhattan and they\u2019re all very dependable and consistent. This Theater District outpost is located on Restaurant Row and is one of the few restaurants that rises far above the mediocrity of its neighbors. If you\u2019re intent on getting your sushi fix before or after a show, Sushi of Gari is one of the best restaurants near Broadway (NYC) to satisfy this craving.<\/p>\n

Tim Ho Wan<\/h2>\n

Tim Ho Wan’s original Hong Kong location once had the designation of being the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant. Its\u00a0second downtown NYC location<\/a> however, is a fun and affordable experience. Indulge in a procession of Chinese dumplings, rice rolls, pork buns, spare ribs, spring rolls, and bowls of congee floating to your table.<\/p>\n
