Please note that Friedmans happily accepts walk in parties at all times everyday. We unfortunately do not take reservation for lunch or brunch hours, so please come in to get seated or be added to our wait list.

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”. 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.

    Friendly staff, good food (really liked the seared fish sandwich) and the noise level was low. The prices were also pretty good: a tiny bit high. My only complaint was about the dessert menu, which wasn't very inspired. And the brownie was dry. We felt a bit rushed with a 9:00 closing, which is especially early for a place serving dinner, in a tourist area near Macy's, and during the holidays.

    Food and service was excellent. Took 2 grandchildren to Annie at MSG and ate at Friedman’s on 31st before show. We totally enjoyed it. Happy hour food was great for the kids.

    Fabulous food. Great location. People in my party had fried chicken and grain bowls. All were very tasty (and we are from the south so our expectations for fried chicken are pretty high). Highly recommend.

    This was my first time back the newly renovated Friedmans. This kinda reminds me of an upscale diner. Not a bad thing but…. Service was phenomenal. Although they brought out our entrees while eating our appetizer. One sandwich had way too overcooked bacon But my Benedict with lox was delicious & plentiful

    This is an excellent place to eat, especially when attending an event at Madison Square Garden, or meeting people at Penn Station.

    I have a lot of food allergies and sensitivities, and our waiter and the chef were very attentive and created a delicious meal that I could enjoy! We will definitely return! Highly recommend!
