Great burgers, raw bar, and other assorted food stuffs. Bonus: Great view of Lincoln Center. 6 min walk from Hudson Hotel.
The Meatball Shop for Balls
Do you like your meat in ball form? Then this shop's for you. Go for the balls, stay for the homemade ice cream sandwiches. 6 min walk from Hudson Hotel.
Rosa Mexicano for Mexicano
Got a hankering for some tableside guac? You've come to the right place. Also delicious with guac: margaritas. Still the right place. 5 min walk from Hudson Hotel.
Sushi Yasaka for Sushi
Delicious sushi at some of NYC's most affordable prices. Tiny place so you MUST have a reservation (they are on OpenTable). 18 min walk / 12 min subway ride from Hudson Hotel.
Jing Fong Restaurant for Dim Sum Brunch
If you feel like venturing all the way to Chinatown on a weekend, we *highly* recommend Jin Fong for authentic dim sum (get there before 12pm). Wait in line, take an escalator to the 1000 person dining hall, and just point at stuff that looks good on the cart. You can't go wrong. 25 min subway ride / 30 min cab from Hudson Hotel.
Waverly Inn for Brunch (non-Dum Sum variety)
Cozy spot in the West Village with a sweet indoor/outdoor patio in the back. Many mimosas have been consumed here. 20 min subway ride from Hudson Hotel.
Pizza... Because Pizza.
A bad slice of pizza does not exist in NY, so just follow your nose. If you want to get adventurous, here's a curated list by the Infatuation. https://www.theinfatuation.com/new-york/guides/best-pizza-nyc
Bagels... Because Bagels.
Same as pizza, really can't go wrong here. We are partial to Barney Greengrass for a sitdown meal (+fish) and Murray's or Essa for grab&go. A curated and highly debatable list from TimeOut NY here: https://www.timeout.com/newyork/restaurants/15-best-bagels-in-new-york-ranked
The Smith for Everything
Recommended if your party can't agree on a single cuisine, this menu has literally everything. Bonus: Also a great view of Lincoln Center. 7 min walk from Hudson Hotel.
Central Park for Parking (non-vehicular variety)
It's a giant park! In the middle of the city! Perfect for strolling, biking, or a morning jog around the reservoir (if that's your sort of thing). Central Park SW entrance is 5 min walk from Hudson Hotel.
Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
One of the cultural capitals of the world! Check out the website for latest calendar of events. Plus the fountain. Oh, the fountain! 6 min walk from Hudson Hotel.

Comedy Cellar for Laughing
Among our favorite spots for getting our laugh on. Can sell out early so book reservations in advance! Two drink minimum, but no heckling and a very strict cell phone policy. Their Village Underground location around the corner is an excellent alternative. 20 min subway from Hudson Hotel.
The Shops at Columbus Circle for Shopping
