Friedman's Lunch

Came in during happy hour. I’m a celiac and so was excited finally try this place out. I absolutely LOVED it. I came in with no reservation and sat the bar. I ordered the potstickers and chicken and waffles. I had an apple cider Bellini & mango drink as well. My selections were divine. I wanted to shed a tear. I miss potstickers & nostalgia of having chicken waffles. The chicken was season to perfection and the cheese waffles were fluffy, cheesy and tasty. This is place is now in my top three. Can’t wait to visit for brunch.

Really great food - try the burger with bacon jam! Everything can be had in a gluten-free version. Our 8-yr-old was so happy to get pancakes - and our phantastic waitress knew exactly, what is important for kids: Do you want the jam on the side? Both flavors? The chocolate sprinkle IN the dough or on the side? Fruit or no berries? She also gave us some bacon jam to taste, because we had never had it before. Totally convincing;-). Big servings, outstanding service. - Only drawback of an otherwise great place: everywhere in Chelsea Market it is VERY loud, also here at Friedman‘s.

If you like good black coffee in big mugs, w/ free refills… grab an early seat enjoy breakfast and sip away. The Nova Benny was so flavorful & the perfect amount of food. The pancakes were super fluffy and you can choose your topping of strawberries, blueberries, or chocolate chips :-) we arrived right when they opened and it was perfect. Quiet time to talk about our plans for the day with good coffee & breakfast. As it gets crowded though the sound gets pretty loud, especially with kiddos so plan accordingly if that would bother you. Service was great!
