    We were a group of six at Pershing Square. We come from different areas of the City and north so the lication across from Grand Central and in midtown is convenient for all. It is our go to place because the service is friendly and professional, the food choices are very diverse and plentiful, food is great and prices are reasonable.Pershing Square's environment is light and lively and we are never rushed. This restaurant is highly recommended.

    Everytime I visit New York I always make sure to grab a reservation at Pershing Square. It’s my favorite breakfast spot with the best pancakes and orange juice! Couldn’t recommend more!

    Breakfast at Pershing Square is a must-do on any NYC visit! Food is terrific, coffee is first-rate, servers are responsive, chefs are accommodating. The eggs on lentils/quinoa are a fantastic high-protein solution (huge portion too). Make a reservation for sure.

    Food was so good. Also my husband was gluten free and they took care of him. No gluten free bread though. Always look forward to coming here when in town.

    I ranked this high because the Waldorf salad, which is basically just chicken salad with shredded lettuce on top was absolutely delicious!

    We went on a weekday at lunchtime and the restaurant was busy, however, the service was excellent and we were not rushed. Once the lunch crowd thinned, the restaurant atmosphere was much quieter. For NYC, the tables were spaced nicely and we thoroughly enjoyed our sandwiches ( especially the steak sandwich) and salads. It is very convenient to Grand Central and a few blocks from the Bus Station so great location for meeting friends from different areas. Prices were reasonable.

    Ac was not working well but we were forewarned by our gracious hostesses prior to be seated. They sat us in the coolest part of the restaurant for which we were very appreciative. The service was great and we had the caprese and Avacado salads both of which were delicious. This was our second time here and despite the heat we would return
