Where To Have Your Birthday Dinner In NYC
When you want to have a big, fun dinner that involves good food and people saying nice things about you, try one of these spots.
Tony's Di Napoli
Tony’s Time Square location is good, tacky fun. But don’t let the questionably large portion sizes or chandeliers fool you. The pasta and parm are delicious.
Red Lobster
Red Lobster in Times Square serves surprisingly decent seafood in a room with fake portholes instead of windows.
Olive Garden
If you end up at Olive Garden’s Time Square location, prioritize the breadsticks and skip the pasta.
Hard Rock Cafe
The Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square is fine for looking at music memorabilia, and buying merch from the gift shop.
The Best Restaurants At Essex Market
Eat and drink your way through these eight spots in Essex Market.
Virgil's Real Barbecue
Virgil’s is far from the best BBQ in NYC, but in terms of Times Square chains, it’s an all star.
Dave & Busters
It's a good thing Dave & Buster's has plenty of arcade games to distract you from the food.
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
Enjoy a timeless combo of fried shellfish, Times Square, and stills from the movie 'Forrest Gump'.
Applebee's
We’re slightly worried about the Times Square outpost of this worldwide chain. Fun drinks, though.
Carmine's
Sinatra, $20 quartinos, and enough penne alla vodka to feed a Broadway cast. What more could you want from a Times Square Italian experience?
Metropolis
Housed in a glamorous FiDi venue, Metropolis serves an ambitious and confusing menu that needs a bit of workshopping.
Don Peppe
Decorated with horse-racing memorabilia, this Italian restaurant has been making family-style classics in South Ozone Park since 1968.
Gino’s of Bay Ridge
Gino’s has a pizza shop up front, and a massive dining room where you should have a birthday party in the back.
Villa Mosconi
This Northern Italian restaurant has been around since 1976, and it's pleasantly impervious to change.
Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao
Bring a group to this East Village branch of a popular soup dumpling chain for an easy, impromptu dinner.
Xi Yue Hui Seafood Hot Pot
Bring a big group to this Sunset Park spot, get a private room, and then do hot pot and sing karaoke at the same time.
The Best Korean BBQ In Koreatown
Our favorite spots around 32nd Street to have someone grill meat at your table.
Paros
Head to this Tribeca restaurant for Grecian urns, artificial vines, designer handbags, and decent, underseasoned food.
