Where to eat (possibly take out) in NYC, UWS to NYP?
September 27, 2021 8:51 AM Subscribe
As noted in my last question, I will be on the UWS in NYC this weekend and will depart via Amtrak at NYP. I'd like to eat before my 7pm train. I don't plan on eating inside, including any of the semi-enclosed outdoor dining "sheds." Patio or takeaway required. There are a million options, of course, but do you have anyplace you'd recommend in particular at this point in 2021? Any cuisine is good!
As noted for context in the other thread, I'm originally from NYC, and knew ye olde UWS very well, and know/knew the NYC restaurant scene. I realize there may well be 1000 restaurants between my starting point and NYP. I haven't been back since November 2019--the longest I've ever been away from Manhattan in my life, which feels very weird.
I'd like either open air sidewalk dining or take out (if the latter, I'm not certain where I'll end up--I guess Central Park or Bryant Park? Doesn't seem like the better alternative, but would give it a shot).
I'm open to any cuisine and cost is not really an object--however, 1) must be relatively en route walking from UWS to NYP (Bryant Park is the furthest off route I'm interested in); 2) I'm likely going to be wearing a suit, so if I end up with take out, I'd like to to be neat to eat; and 3) it will likely be earlyish (seating at 5:30/6, depending on how much more walking I'll have ahead of me to get to NYP).
Given how long I've been away, I'd like something at least a bit special (at least more special than Gray's Papaya). Thanks!

Where on the UWS are you starting? I’m a big fan of Bahn NYC, a relatively new Vietnamese place, but it’s at 107/Amsterdam, and you probably won’t be that far north.
Maybe grab a sandwich at Pastrami Queen and eat it in Central Park?

Response by poster: I'll be starting in the mid-seventies. I'd have time (and energy) to go to Hi-Life, but probably wouldn't venture further north, since it's in the wrong overall direction.
In general, I'd probably prefer non-burgers/pub fare (unless spectacular), which is plentiful around Boston.
Rock 'em Sock 'em--I love those ideas. I'd be curious for your other recommendations, but I could easily see myself at Bar Boulud.

Ella social for tapas or Salumeria Rosi are both spectacular, have good eating and are right around 72nd and Columbus in case you overeat and need to subway to Penn.

Response by poster: I went to Bar Boulud and it was great--seated right away outside (granted, it was just after 5:00), had a great meal, and made my train. Thanks Rock 'em Sock 'em!
