Restaurant Row – A Culinary Stroll in the Heart of Manhattan

Tucked just off the buzz and chaos of Times Square, West 46th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues—famously known as Restaurant Row—offers one of New York City’s most vibrant and diverse dining stretches.

From upscale Italian trattorias and cozy French bistros to sushi spots, steakhouses, tapas bars, and Southern comfort food joints, Restaurant Row has something for every palate. Whether you’re a picky eater or a bold food adventurer, odds are you’ll find a menu that speaks your language here.
