You can't leave New York without going through a classic diner so here we have one. It's a 50s themed restaurant with good New York menu: sandwiches, hamburgers, pastrami, smoothies.

But beyond the food the waiters are the ones to see because they put on a show while they deliver the orders and the songs are very classic, it is impossible that you do not know more than one because they sound rock songs and popular movies.

They sing on stage, get off and continue to distribute the dishes. If you want something different and eat and have a little fun at the same time this is the site. It sure isn't the best food but for junk food unpretentious not too bad.

We go from something expensive to something cheap. In the so-called Theater District is this site that serves huge burgers with lots of fries and but rather portobello burgers with cheese and onions, for vegetarians. Beer, wine and soft drinks complete a Simple, cheap and abundant menu.

It all started with a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park, back in 2004, but in Times Square it is a restaurant located on 691 8th Avenue, on the southwest corner of that avenue and 44th streets.

There are many kinds of pizza And it is said that the homemade mozzarella and burrata that they make here, homemade, are some of the best in New York. You can also eat salads, croquettes and obviously, pasta. don-antonio in New York

So far some of the best restaurants in Times Square, but of course they are not the only ones. As you can eat food from all over the world, the truth is that the list is endless because of each option (pizzas, pastas, sushi, Mexican, Spanish, Russian and a long etcetera), there are several examples.

It also depends on whether you want to sit in a restaurant or if you want to eat on the street, in one of the many carts in this area of ​​New York that also make a meal a classic for tourists, but if you are looking for restaurants then I think Among these that I have just listed are the most popular.
