Rue 57 is a great lunch place in Midtwon. Fries and Burger are great... French onion soup is great. What I love is the downstairs area. If you go with the right people, then you can stay here for hours. The vibe is so relaxing. The waitstaff are very friendly and nice. You get the occassional tourists type here with their shopping bags, etc. but it's a great restaurant overall. I realize I'm not reviewing the food here, I think the food is okay for its price point, but the space definitely compensate for that.
Rue 57 is located on 57th st. and 6th Ave
