Best WLM Reviews

A splendid breakfast! Oatmeal with water or almond milk or whole milk. Fresh made bagels and a variety of other breakfast essentials.
Great food and plenty of variety. They have an awesome buffet that changes from breakfast to lunch. Their are made to order options as well. It's a little pricey, but you are in Manhattan. Our group ate here the entire weekend we were here. They also have bakery items. To go or sit down option. I would definitely recommend if you are staying in the Time Square area.
This place is perfect. Prices, quality, variety, ample space and never crowded. You want to sit down, have a quick affordable meal while running through NY: do it.
Across the street there’s a bagel place with a line longer than national debt, who has time for that? I got the same bagel for less, faster and on to the next thing of my day.
I've been to the Essen in Madison Avenue and realized the food is same quality and same variety. I'm really impressed with their excellence service and standards. This is indubitably my got-to for lunch. My friend that I brought also loved the food. This place is pretty close to the road and can be easily noticed from vehicle in normal traffic. There's also wheelchair accessible entrance for the differently able.
This place is Amazing, but expensive!
If you’re in Manhattan and Indecisive this is the spot. The food here is fresh, and hot. They have everything from sushi, soup, sandwiches, snacks,macaroons, salad, fresh fruits, yogurt, granola, and a wide variety of juices and many more to pick from. If you feel like dining in, theirs a sitting area upstairs. however, be aware they WEIGH YOUR FOOD then add whatever you purchased plus tax. So don’t think this place is a ALL U CAN EAT and u only pay for an entry or a plate size ????. You will end up spending $50 in there wondering if it’s worth that. PLEASE KNOW THIS IS MANHATTAN, what u could get at a Chinese spot in Brooklyn for $20 you could get here for $35-$40.
Great lunch spot to grab sushi, sandwiches and there is also a buffet. Gloves are provided for safety. The food here was delicious. Laid out really well and helpful staff. Lines move very quickly. There is seating upstairs.
Good warm food, just a bit pricey. Perfect if you aren’t hungry and can’t decide what to eat. Very clean and bright, plus the workers are friendly and helpful. Sometimes out of a few options, but the offerings change daily.
Really nice variety of food and drink options. The staff was helpful. Appreciated the.option of eat in (upstairs dining area) or carryout.
