Lunch near the Javits Center

So you’re in town for a convention; whatever you do don’t stay inside the Javits center for lunch! Right outside your door are some amazing options. Here are my favorites from a local’s perspective— avoiding the malls and chains you’ll find on google.

Mercado Little Spain 01

Mercado Little Spain

Restaurant · New York, NY 10001

Spanish food in a bustling food hall underneath Hudson Yards. Several restaurants inside the market that fit any dining style you’re looking for.

Hav & Mar 02

Hav & Mar

Restaurant · New York, NY 10001

Fancy sit down seafood-meets-global cuisine influences. Absolutely delicious, one of the projects of celeb chef Marcus Samuelsson.

Skylight Diner 03

Skylight Diner

Restaurant · New York, NY 10001

One of the last remaining true old NYC diners. Meh food but who cares, there’s a lot of it and it’s got everything.

Russ & Daughters 04

Russ & Daughters

Shop · New York, NY 10001

Jewish deli. Grab a bagel w/ cream cheese and lox here, either to go or sit down. Outpost of the 100-year-old Lower East Side longtime stalwart.

Whitmans 05

Whitmans

Restaurant · New York, NY 10001

My vote for a burger in the area, if you want to go beyond the shake shack in the mall.

Casa Louie 07

Casa Louie

Restaurant · New York, NY 10018

Great Pizza! Italian food! Nice people. Not a stuffy joint unlike the other super fancy Italian joints in the area.

Electric Lemon 09

Electric Lemon

Restaurant · New York, NY 10001

Fancy. Elegant. Hidden upstairs in the equinox Hotel. Good when you want to feel like a classy gal for a moment with an overpriced but delicious cocktail and a light bite.
