Burger & Lobster keeps the menu simple. You can only get a burger, a lobster or a lobster roll here and they are all amazing. They are opening a new location in Midtown by Bryant Park so it is just a short walk from Times Square. This is an amazing addition to the area and it is sure to be very popular.

Tim Ho Wan is a dim sum chain based in Hong Kong and they are best known for being the most affordable restaurant in the world with a Michelin star. They just opened their first location in New York City and the lines are going to be massive. They currently have a soft opening and will have their grand opening on January 18th.
