Cafe New York is a feast for
all of your senses. At breakfast, choices range from a lavish buffet to
made-to-order meals such as eggs, Belgian waffles and fresh fruit. Lunch
features soups and salads, sandwiches and burgers. Steaks, seafood and
poultry specialties highlight the dinner menu, which also features an
ever-changing selection of seasonal specials. Of course the main reason
you will be pleased with choosing Café New York is our Executive
Chef, Scott Rossi a classically trained chef who has spent the last 10
years in New York refining his Mediterranean and Asian cooking skills.

For those of you on a tight budget (and
for those of you with money galore),
there are restaurants and diners to fit every budget.
Across the street from the
hotel (on Seventh Avenue):
• Molyvos -- Greek
cuisine. Moderate to expensive, though they offer a prix fix menu as well,
and the food is outstanding.
• Park Cafe Diner -- Inexpensive
On 56th Street and Seventh Avenue:
• Redeye Grill ("Home of the Dancing Shrimp" --
whatever that means). On the pricey side, but they feature a full menu
of American (New & Traditional) cuisine, Seafood, and Sushi
• Hooters -- what can we say? It's Hooters.
A block or two away:
• Ben Ash Deli (in competition with the famous Carnegie Deli)
-- as the sign outside says, "Why stand in line? Come over here!".
So I did. I bought a corned beef sandwich on rye that weighed about 30
pounds and cost about $14. It was dinner that night and lunch the following
day. Most definitely a bargain.
• Carnegie Deli- -- same as Ben Ash. Prices are in that range.
Expect to spend about $20, but plan to split a sandwich, so $10 each is
a pretty good deal.
• Pasta D'oro -- A casual Italian place - entrees come with
fresh rolls (hot), and a salad. The pastas are very good, the service
is friendly and it’s not too expensive – a complete meal for
around $15. During nice weather there are a few tables on the street.
Located between Times Square and Central Park.
• Fluffy’s Cafe & Bakery. (Fluffy's?) They offer
desserts and sandwiches at very reasonable prices.
There are a bunch of small markets where you can buy soda or beer, flowers,
or enjoy their “salad bar.” Westerly Natural Market on
eighth Avenue offers organic produce and all natural groceries.
There’s also a liquor store right across the street from the
Hotel.
Times Square
is walking distance, and there are a million and one things to do down
there. And thanks to Disney, you no longer take your life in your hands
walking around after dark. It’s become quite a tourist trap. Of course
we wouldn't recommend hanging out at Port of Authority bus terminal
at 11:00pm -- but then, why would you?
Broadway is a block away. St. Patrick’s
Cathedral, Rockerfeller Center, Carnegie Hall and Radio
City Music Hall are all walking distance. Walking tours and area maps
will be provided to all World Horror Convention attendees.
Whatever your tastes/mood, there’s something for everyone.
Central Park is only two blocks from the hotel -- you can see it
from the street outside the Park Central hotel. (After dark, we recommend
entering the park in a group.)
