- I eat at and review Union Square Cafe in New York City. The iconic restaurant was founded by restauranteur Danny Meyer who went on to create the Union Square Hospitality Group and Shake Shack. Union Square Cafe serves contemporary new American cuisine. I also feel that the restaurant offers a great Restaurant Week deal.

The food looked great, but the friendly little squirrel at the beginning of the video was a delight to see too!
I do love squirrels! No matter how common they are, they never fail to amuse me.
I've been coming off a weekend of feeling sick and havent been able to think of eating....until your well shot video and review. I was actually salivating at that steak. thank you reviving my love of food.
Thank you! I'm glad to hear that you're feel better. I actually had food poising just the other week and it was terrible not wanting to eat any food when it typically makes me so happy. Yeah, that beef was really good!
Another great video!
The food looked amazing especially the beef a “perfect dish”. The dessert also looked good.
Thank you! Yeah, the presentation was really nice, but the dishes still delivered on flavor.
Danny Meyer has done wonderful things. The USHG has changed restaurants in Manhattan, for the better. Truly some of the best in the city! Another great review sir!
Thank you! Indeed, I've never had a bad meal or experience at any of Danny Meyer's restaurants. He really created a top notch restaurant group.
In my personal experiences, I’ve often felt if the food didn’t meet my expectations, that my menu choices weren’t as considered as they should have been. Clearly, you have those kinds of decisions down to a science.
I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, it happens sometimes.
One of the best consistent restaurants in NY. Danny Meyer is one of the best Restaurateurs around.
Absolutely! It's an NYC institution for sure!
Loved this review!
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
I found your channel when I searched up “living in queens.” Now I’m hooked 😊 thanks
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
Can’t be that price. Tremendous value at an iconic spot.
Exactly! It's a great restaurant!
Love the videos, James! Please keep making more content.
Thank you! There's more videos to come!
They used to have a couple of items on their menu that seem to have disappeared...their Black Bean Soup (with a shot of sherry added for a few bucks more. And their famous big fat Tuna Burger on a Brioche Bun with a spicy cabbage slaw. Ah, the memories...
It's a shame when good things disappear off a menu, but hopefully better ones will be added.
I also fondly miss that Tuna Burger. It was an awesome delight when I had it at their former location about 20 years ago. MMM. Thanks for the memories, James.
@@les5309 Thanks for watching! A tuna burger sounds great! I wish that I was around to try it.
Hey not a bad lookin meal I bet it was good and not that bad of deal$$ either…good job my man
Thank you! Yeah, Restaurant Week is really the best time to go to this restaurant. I saved about $20 because of it.
Nice review. I've never been there, but I'm sure it's very good. Glad you got the founding date right... a lot of people seem to think it's been there much longer. I have been to Blue Smoke. Very good, but expensive. I also recommend Hill Country BBQ on West 26th St.
Where you were sitting in Stuyvesant Square Park is about 2 blocks from 4 different hospitals.
I think I've been in every one of them at one time or another (mostly visiting).
Thank you! Yeah, I've been meaning to check out Hill Country BBQ. I've visited the one in DC before and really enjoyed it. Yep, I quickly realized that there were a lot of hospitals in the area. There were a number of times I had to refilm some of the things I said because of ambulance noise, but other than that, I do like Stuyvesant Square Park.
About 1000 feet East of where you were is Stuyvesant Town, where my family lived in the 1950's.
@@richardgelber2740 Nice! Yeah, I've walked around StuyTown a few times.
@@Jamesnu Oddly, there is an aerial view of Stuyvesant Town that I've never seen anywhere else in the opening of the original West Side Story movie.
@@richardgelber2740 Interesting. It's been a long time since I've seen that film, but I can imagine it would be a unique image with the way the area is laid out.
It looks delicious. I love this diner food. Would like to eat at an original American diner someday.🍔
It was great food indeed! I hope you get the opportunity!
Love your videos
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Squirrels In new York are looking pretty plump this year. Have you ever thought about taking one home for some good eating ?
Haha! No never thought of that, but yeah, that's one way to save money on food, LOL.
How much did it cost? no price? looks expensive, I would assume the steak is $20, times new york price is probably $100
Haha! Yeah, it's normally a bit expensive costing $38, but because it was Restaurant Week, I got the steak and the appetizer together for $45, a much better deal.
