Upland
8.4
A polished Park Avenue South New American room that’s strongest when you order in a tight, shareable arc—one bright starter, one pasta, then a main that anchors the table. It’s a reliable “bring anyone” restaurant with enough energy for nights out and enough comfort for repeat dinners.

Cacio e pepe, Little gem salad, Sausage and kale pizza

Instagram Worthy Wonders
A big, modern American room near Madison Square Park where ribs are a long-cook special: beef ribs with a sweet-heat rub and steakhouse-adjacent sides. The best experience is treating it like a composed entrée—ribs plus one crisp counterbalance—rather than stacking heavy add-ons.
Must-Try Dishes:
Eight-Hour BBQ Beef Ribs, BLACKBARN Burger, Mushroom Ravioli
What makes it special: Slow-cooked beef ribs with a chipotle-orange rub in a big-room setting.
Worthy Picks
7.9
A seasonal rooftop greenhouse that wins on visuals, not quiet intimacy—best for a playful, photo-forward romantic night. Treat it like a shared-plates date: one spritz-style drink each, one pasta, one protein, then call it.
Must-Try Dishes:
Seasonal pasta, Charred vegetables, Tiramisu (seasonal)
What makes it special: A rooftop greenhouse scene that turns dinner into an event.

Comfort Food Classics
A fast-moving Italian-inspired cafe built for daytime needs—sandwiches, salads, and prepared food that feels designed for the Flatiron lunch rush. It’s best when you treat it like a high-quality grab-and-go operation rather than a linger-and-dine destination.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken parm sandwich, Basil-chicken panini, Tiramisu
What makes it special: Italian-leaning lunch classics executed for speed and reliability.
