We came here for dessert and to chat and catch up with friends after dinner at Great NY Noodletown. The cakes are good but nothing to write home about - way overpriced and don't live up to the hype. Same with the tea. Nonetheless, I think people probably come here for the ambience, which they provide in spades. Recommend hanging out with friends here if in a pinch or near where you're dining.

The food was excellent but as they don't take reservations, trying to get a table for a party of 6 was chaos, even though we got there at 5pm and there was already a line especially because there are only 2 large, round tables. I would recommend coming here with a group of 4 or fewer people. Also beware that this is a CASH ONLY restaurant! It's not a place to eat and chat and linger, or to catch up with old friends (which is what we were trying to do), but definitely worth it if you just want delicious food. We shared our big table with a diner eating by himself, so he was smart to realize what kind of place this is! Might be worth it to get takeout as well, skip the line and eat at home. That's not to say the service wasn't great. Even with everyone bustling around, we didn't get the sense that the staff was trying to kick people out or passive aggressively urge people to eat faster. Also keep in mind that the bathrooms are not the cleanliest, so try not to have to go while dining here!

Loved the food here!!! I came here with a friend on a Saturday for brunch before a Broadway show without a reservation, they did look very busy already but was still able to seat us within 15-20 minutes. The food was truly amazing - the pumpkin french toast was unique and absolutely scrumptious. Service was great too. The only thing is seating is EXTREMELY cramped and someone spilled all over me when trying to squeeze by with a drink in their hand. Still, other than tight spaces and easy, loud eavesdropping from the seat neighbors, the ambience is fun and the food more than makes up for it. Highly recommend!

Came here for the Beyonce concert - this stadium is decent as far as stadiums go (we were in Section 337, slight obstruction but less so if you're in rows 1-5, and the stage views are slightly angled but still great), but not at all conveniently located and the traffic was an absolute nightmare. We stayed at the nearby Residence Inn and even though it was a 2 mile walk because the pedestrian route is roundabout, it was worth it. Would highly recommend not driving or taking shuttles if attending events here (not sure about football games, but certainly for concerts). The typical stadium bag policy applies (small, clear bag), so make sure to check the latest before arrival, but we were also hassled at the gate for larger clear bags (even though the dimensions are permitted per the policy) as well as portable electric fans (not forbidden in the policy), so make sure you know what the latest policy says! They shouldn't be able to just make up the rules at the gate.
