Koi Sushi
The food was excellent. We arrived around 5pm and were promptly seated. Our drinks order was asked for as we were sitting down. When the water came back within a couple of minutes, we were asked for our dinner order but needed a few more minutes. The food came out quickly and was all delicious and fairly priced, given the season and location.
Throughout our dining, a constant stream of people were turning up. It's a very popular restaurant
By 5.50pm, we'd just about eaten everything and were swallowing the last mouthfuls when we were presented with the cheque without an offer of the dessert menu etc. The whole experience was very rushed and we consider ourselves quick diners as we have a little one to get to bed.
If you're looking for good food, I can recommend it. 🐟🦀🍣

Boqueria Soho
A superb experience from making the booking, confirming the booking through to the dining.
The weather was bad on the day and we turned up early and we were accommodated without issue, which was highly appreciated with our little one. The high chair is a seat that clamps to the tables, super cool and secure!
The service was spot on and we selected a number of dishes from the happy hour special plus drinks. The venue is really well laid out with excellent lighting and space between tables.
Hope to return in future when we're next in NYC! 🇪🇸🍷🍺🧀🍅

Prince Street Pizza
Every bit as good as the videos look. There are 2 entrances, one for whole pizzas/pies and delivery drivers to collect and the other for slices.
The queue when we visited was for slices. We got 2 pepperoni slices and enjoyed them standing outside. The queue moves quite quickly and the staff are efficient with little pleasantries.
There was a spicy vodka pizza, which nearly got a look in but not this visit.... 🍕

Bluestone Lane Garment District Coffee Shop
Interesting to read the other review on understaffed as I was hoping our experience today was a one off. I've been a big fan of Bluestone since the launch and we've been visiting the ones on Madison this trip and in Brooklyn. We found this one by chance today and stopped in.
The lady was on her own and our coffee wait was more than 25 minutes. There were 2 couples seated and one was waiting for food to accompany their coffees, no one else. The lady had to jump between making peanut butter, jelly, banana sandwiches back to coffee, then to make an omelette and back to coffee. Then onto avocado toast and back to coffee. All the food prep needed gloves on also. It was crazy for one person. Eventually she called out to those about to start the order process and said she was on her own and had a bunch of orders, so there will be a delay. 3 parties then left. If we'd known beforehand we would have left too.
This location doesn't look setup for someone to take orders and ordering is done via a large touchscreen. Pre-ordering would be the only model that could work here, so we won't be back to this one. ☕

Farmer in the Deli
Such a fantastic experience and delicious food. Like others, I only heard of this through Instagram. We walked from Grand Central station and it was worth the walk. We got 2 rolls, one with a cheese and salad chopped sandwich and the other with tuna, cheese and salad.
Cool to see and even better to eat. Not much of a queue, even at 12pm on a cold Saturday in December. We sat in the park not far away and enjoyed them. Go check it out! 🗽🥪🥯🧀
