Union Square Cafe

By FoodMayhem   Jan 28, 2008

Believe it or not, I've never been to the famous Union Square Cafe Union Square Cafe. It's expensive, and at times very hard to get reservations, so somehow, it has slipped through, until today. My friend Lily and I made last minute plans for lunch there and it happens to be restaurant week (which I pay no attention to for dinner since I haven't been impressed the last few times). We had a very enjoyable lunch for a very good price so I'm sure to return to Union Square Cafe again, at least for lunch during restaurant week. The atmosphere is nothing fancy, just clean and comfortable, tables spaced apart nicely unlike most of NYC. The... FULL REVIEW

Union Square Is Still Delicious

By Gotham Gal   Jul 11, 2006

Union Square Restaurant is truly a New York institution.  I believe that the restaurant recently celebrated the 20th anniversary.  That alone is an achievement.  But the biggest achievement of all is that the food is still excellent.  The service is still fantastic.  The vibe is just as hip and modern and alive as it was 20 years ago.  FULL REVIEW

NYC Dining: Union Square Cafe

By Off The Broiler   Jun 08, 2006

Union Square Cafe is "the mother ship", as it is warmly and aptly described by Union Square Hospitality Group's staff. It was Danny Meyer's first restaurant, where he honed his craft and his reputation as one of Manhattan's top restauranteurs and masters of customer service. In many ways it still is the flagship, despite much more complex Danny Meyer restaurants introduced in recent years such as Tabla and Modern which serve more eclectic "foodie" food. Now celebrating its 21st birthday, Union Square Cafe is as vibrant and warm and as satisfying a dining experience as the day it opened, serving predominantly modern American cuisine with an Italian soul under Executive Chef Micheal Lomano and Chef De Cuisine Carmen Quagliata.

Union Square Café

By Mona's Apple   Feb 18, 2006

Swimster and I decided to go for lunch last week on my mid-week weekend. We grabbed a coffee at Barnes and Noble, read through some magazines and newspapers, and after some stomach growling, left in search of food. The only place that sounded interesting in the area was Union Square Cafe. Sadly we showed up at 11:40 and found the sign saying "Open at noon." So, NO FOOD FOR US! The stomachs had to wait a whopping twenty more minutes and I wasn't sure if they were going to make it. FULL REVIEW

Union Square Cafe and CNY

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Feb 04, 2006

Kathryn and I went for another round of Restaurant Week 2006 (which is more like Restaurant Weeks, but whatever) this past Tuesday at Union Square Cafe. Restaurant Week ended today so if after reading my review you decide you want a $24.07 prix fixe lunch, you...can't. I'M SORRY. SO. SORRY. STOP LOOKING AT ME WITH THOSE PUPPY DOG EYES. FULL REVIEW

Calibration New York City Entry #58

By Veal Cheeks   Jan 21, 2006

To appreciate a restaurant, one must gauge its intentions. Nowhere is this truer than at the venerable Union Square Café, which at 21 years of age has reached its maturity. FULL REVIEW

I've Got Friends in High Places...Well one, her name is Molly and she works at The Union Square Cafe

By The Amateur Gourmet   Sep 19, 2005

It's difficult to gauge my success here on the world wide web in the context of the world at large. Yes, many people read my food blog but how many people in the world know what a food blog is? I rest my case. FULL REVIEW

A Bitter, But In A Good Way, Day

I had made up my mind to get to the Flatiron Lounge today and, as you will see, I was indeed successful. However, as you might expect, I took the long way around. FULL REVIEW

United We Eat, Divided We Pay: The Union Square Cafe

By The Amateur Gourmet   Oct 02, 2004

On Amazon.com's restaurant page, one may grow depressed to learn that The Outback Steakhouse, The Cheesecake Factory and Applebee's rank significantly higher than The Gramercy Tavern and The Union Square Cafe in terms of menu-viewing popularity. On a practical front it makes sense----when most American families go out, they want reliable, moderately priced and familiar food. Actually, reading those statistics kind of puts things in perspective: it puts one on the defensive. How do you justify a lunch for two at The Union Square Cafe that would pay for dinner for four at Applebee's? FULL REVIEW

Two For Two

By VittlesVamp   Jun 22, 2004

And so, once again, I am swept up the flurry of bargain-basement haute-cuisine that is Restaurant Week. It's only Day Two and I've already broken my promise to keep my "involvement" to a minimum. At this point, I'm going two for two. FULL REVIEW
