Momofuku Bāng Bar is a fast-casual counter spot in the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle that makes really good flatbread wraps.

Alfie’s is a bar near Columbus Circle with a bunch of beers on tap and good Happy Hour deals.

Marea is about as good as upscale eating gets in Midtown, and there’s a lot of that around. Don’t miss the bone marrow and octopus fusilli.

Somehow, the Blue Ribbon brand’s new spot is just as excellent as its other outposts, despite being in a Midtown hotel. This place is, however, insanely expensive.
