Friedmans

We went a couple times for breakfast as we were staying at the Edison. They offer free grab and go breakfast with choice of egg and bacon sandwhich, yogurt parfait, fruit, juice, coffee and more. For $5 ypu cam dine in and get choice of French toast with fruit, yogurt parfait or egg breakfast. We also went for lunch and the food was decent. Server was friendly but not very knowledgeable about the menu or items. Maybe he was new. Overall it was convenient and fast.

We always find ourselves at Friedman's at the Edison when our family visits Times Square. The simple yet fun environment creates the perfect backdrop for our gatherings. The star of the show, without a doubt, is the must-have breakfast burger. Its combination of flavors leaves our taste buds dancing with joy. Egg, bacon, and a large beef patty. This, paired with the generously sized vanilla shake adorned with a decadent brownie, it's a match made in heaven. Friedman's consistently delivers on both taste and atmosphere, making it our top choice for family outings. The central location in Times Square adds an extra layer of excitement to the overall experience. Five stars without a doubt – a culinary gem in the heart of the city that never sleeps!

Absolutely delicious breakfast! The shakshuka is divine- the pastrami hash was excellent (I snuck a bite from my husband’s plate. Our server was kind, and very efficient even on a busy holiday week (and after waiting on a huge school group!) I ordered takeout, and it was fast and accurate! I even made reservations for a THIRD meal with a larger group! Look, part of the reason I love NYC is the food, so it is extremely rare for me to come back to a place this many times. For Times Square, it didn’t feel over the top or touristy.

Good food and quick service by friendly staff. If you stay at the Hotel you may get a $5 voucher for breakfast. With that voucher you can order from a special menu. It's a great deal as opposed to ordering off the regular menu. In either case the food is tasty and arrives hot. The room is a bit noisy but is an elegant old space with lots of ornate plaster work. Too bad when they did the makeover they totally ignored the architecture of the room and selected these awful looking hanging light fixtures and sconces. I have now eaten here three times so I don't really need to say more....

Gluten-free heaven! We ate our hearts out in gluten-free appetizers. We went when the servers were singing, so we did wait about 20 mins until we were greeted by our server. So FYI it's not a typical restaurant experience, you need some patience! There is also an 80 minute time limit. I recommend making a reservation around 7pm or later so you don't feel as rushed at the end.

A must visit place for someone who is gluten free. They have the best gluten free pancakes I have ever tasted, if I didn't know I wouldn't think they were gluten free by the taste or texture. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, but most importantly quick! Never have I had such prompt service and food delivery. We were cramped for time and still made it in/out in about 30 mins.
