NYC Group Dining Recommendations
Restaurants in NYC are typically quite intimate and quaint. Very few can accommodate large groups who want to eat together at one time. Below is a list of restaurants in the Times Square area that can accommodate larger groups for a meal. Most of these restaurants will require making reservations ahead of time.
The Food Courts listed are great options if you want to give your group variety, but know that seating together may be more difficult to obtain as it’s on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Should you like assistance with planning your group meals, you can work with our friend, Pamela Eng with Group Dining Destinations NYC. She works with many restaurants around the city to book meals for large groups, and she offers a service to provide boxed meals that are delivered directly to your group anywhere in NYC. Email Pam directly at Pamela@GroupDiningDestinations.com and let her know you’re joining a Manhattan Concert Productions event for special pricing.
