Where to eat near the Empire State Building
10 places within 14 minutes on foot of the Empire State Building. Start with Eleven Madison Park, 12 min walk: the full tasting menu in the grand dining room.
The trap to skip
The chain restaurants in the middle of Times Square. Walk two blocks, or over to Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, and eat before or after show times, not right at them.
