A little about us & the culture that has been created… Friedmans is a family run business, which operates locations throughout New York City. Friedmans was named after the famous economist Milton Friedman who popularized the phrase, “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”. This phrase has gone on to be used in science, economics, finance, statistics, technology, sports, & now food. However, to put it simply, “to get one thing we like, we usually have to give up another thing we like.” Our mantra is simple, “Eat good food” and this is what we strive to deliver to our guests. For us, it has two meanings. Firstly, eat food that tastes good. Secondly, be proud of the food you serve. We know where our food comes from. We communicate regularly with our farmers and are proud to serve antibiotic free meats & local vegetables. Our mission is for you to love, respect, & enjoy, not only the food you serve, but also the team you work with.

Cute spot we chose for our thanksgiving lunch. We were not disappointed. My turkey meal was delicious! I would recommend them for thanksgiving as well as any day of the week and the service was wonderful. My husband had a regularly-served dish and enjoyed it very much. Kid friendly. Thank you to all who took care of us today.

Exceptional service by Sammy, delicious food and a festive ambiance made for a perfect Sunday night pre-Beacon Theater-show dinner. We enjoyed tender short ribs, tasty brick chicken and the quinoa bowl with chicken, followed by crème brûlée and chocolate babka for dessert. And we were only a short walk to the Beacon Theater for our show.

First time and really enjoyed our experience our pre-Opera lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Arrived early for a reservation and staff was very accommodating. We had an omelette which was fluffy and delicious; salmon with couscous and spinach - cooked as requested but a little salty; Burger was delicious (but also a little salty). Staff was attentive and all around a great experience. If you go be sure to eat inside - Ambiance is NOT to be missed
