“We had heard great things about @blue42bar and we finally got the opportunity to stop in. It did not disappoint.

They have 172 wing options. We tried 2 of them: Honey BBQ for me & Honey Hot Buffalo & Honey Mustard for him. We both loved our selection.
For our dinner I got the Rigatoni Vodka (Happy Hour size) & he got Crystal's chicken sandwich. Both were delicious and neither of us could finish. So Bonus lunch the next day.

Tables can be reserved at major sporting event times. Highly recommend! We slid in & out before the game but by the time we left people were waiting for our table. Not a huge space but the vibe is awesome.

It did have 1 drawback - It's a Green Bay Packers Bar lol

“Great service! You wouldn’t know they were short staffed.“

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

“Excellent food! Well done!“

“Honestly one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Not only were the ingredients fresh, but the preparation was nothing short of perfect. Great atmosphere & vibe. Will definitely be returning very soon.“

“Nice little Bar/Restaurant within walking distance from the Museum of Natural History. Outdoor seated is covered to keep diners out of the sun or rain. Tables are very small, not ideal for big parties or for families with strollers.

Drinks (The Dude) were very well made (strong!) and Downeast Cider on tap was an added bonus.

Bathrooms are small but clean and sufficient.

Double Smash burger was smaller than expected but it was very tasty as were the fries that came with it. Hot honey chicken sandwich was delicious (bigger than the burger) and the truffle fries were very flavorful.“

“Wonderful experience! Amazing Apps & Steak / Side. Great cocktails. Beautifully put together & appointed cozy bar & restaurant. Most importantly - the staff is amazing. Mike A was an outstanding server. It all started with a warm welcome by the Maitre D, a great conversation with the Hostess, and then an amazing experience by Mike & the serving staff. The soft shell crab & shrimp cocktail appetizers were exceptional. And we had the 30 oz porterhouse steak to share. Cooked to perfection. Finally, the steak sauce that is prepared at your table is epic. Highly, highly recommend!! Be informed - it does get loud in there when full of customers. Still can't wait to to go back!“

“I recently visited the Pancake Factory and had the pleasure of being served by J. From the moment I walked in, J's warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel right at home. They were incredibly attentive, ensuring my experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. J's knowledge of the menu was impressive—they provided excellent recommendations, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. The pancakes were fantastic, but it was J's exceptional service that truly made my visit memorable. Their professionalism, friendliness, and ability to anticipate needs were outstanding. If you're looking for top-notch service and a great dining experience, ask for J—you won't be disappointed!🥰“

This has become one of our favorite places to eat. I highly recommend Maggies to anyone looking for a great food experience!“

“Went here for dinner as a last minute decision. Thankfully they still had tables available. Such an beautiful place with mix of old and new. The menu has great selections and there are daily specials for the main course and appetizers. The appetizers portions were perfect. The staff were extremely attentive but not annoying. Love the open kitchen concept. I enjoy watching everyone work together and the different stations setup. Our app choices were the crabcake and watermelon with balsamic. Crabcake was mostly crab. Main course choices were scallops and an eggplant & tofu dish.
So glad we went. Such a great experience and outstanding food.“

“Food is very good and staff very attentive though menu limited. It's too loud! Music is fine but not when you can't carry on a conversation or hear the servers. I don't understand why anyone thinks that's a good thing.“

“Seasonal dishes fresh and beautifully presented! Friendly and helpful team with excellent dish recommendations :)“

“It took a minute for a waitress to notice we had seated ourselves at an outdoor table, but about the time we decided to leave she showed up. The Cajun dry rub wings were excellent and honestly no heat (yay). We don't like wet wings. The guacamole was authentic. The cabernet was a California brand,Murphy Goode. We like Argentina wines so obviously we thought it watered down and not full bodied, but it was smooth. I would eat here again and it was very popular. The dressing for the veggies were watered down (ranch and blue cheese), but again the guacamole and dry rub wings were A++“

“From our first steps to our departure, everything was AMAZING. This saturday evening was out last in NYC before returning to Montreal and The Smith Midtown made it PERFECT. The food was more than we could even expect. The seafood tower is quite an experience, treat yourself! Thank you to everyone at the front desk, including the managers, because they made us laughed a lot and were so nice to us. Big thanks to our server too. A must in NYC!“

“The best naberhood bar that I've been to in many years“
