Times Square Area Restaurants in NYC

Bustling Times Square

There are few places in the world that are as awe-inspiring as Times Square in New York City. The square is well known for its Broadway theaters, street performers and massive office and hotel towers. Times Square is most remembered for its huge, dynamic billboards which create an energy unlike anywhere else. This energy drives Times Square and draws visitors to the Square every time they travel to the city. To really enjoy Times Square, travelers can visit one of the many quality restaurants found in the area.

Ruby Foo's

Where other restaurants might get lost in the clutter of Times Square, Ruby Foo's has carved out its own place. With a 50 foot high neon sign of its own and a brightly colored, multi-level dining room known as the "Palace," the restaurant is hard to miss. Inside, guests order from an expansive menu that includes dishes from every part of Asia. Guests can watch the sushi chefs prepare their dinner in front of them, or order from the extensive dumpling menu. Diners who are feeling adventurous should let the chef prepare a feast of his choosing, after a brief consultation of course. A gluten-free menu is also available.
