Good Enough to Eat

Step into the glow of our massive neon marquee on 49th Street and you'll find yourself transported to a Shanghai-inspired dining palace right in the heart of Times Square. The 300-seat venue sprawls across multiple levels, each corner dripping with hand-painted dragons, intricate mah-jongg tilework, and warm lantern lighting that mirrors the grandeur of Beijing's imperial courts. Winter evenings here feel particularly magical—the contrast between the frosty Manhattan streets outside and the vibrant reds, golds, and jewel tones within creates an almost dreamlike escape from the season's chill. Pass under our ornate red lacquered archway entrance and you're greeted by a bold, unapologetic design that celebrates Pan-Asian aesthetics. A serene gold-leafed Buddha overlooks the space while an open bar pops with color and energy. The menu, curated by Executive Chef Shawn Edelman, pulls from kitchens across the entire Asian continent—think fragrant broths, wok-kissed vegetables, and house specialties that taste like they've traveled from a dozen different countries to land on your table. Whether you're seeking refuge from the winter crowds outside or joining the steady stream of visitors drawn to our glowing sign, the experience feels like stepping into something larger than life.

Watching the winter crowds filter in from Lincoln Center performances, you'll find yourself in a dining room that's welcomed guests through three decades of New York's cultural seasons. The real draw pulls you toward the bar—a generous stretch lined with more than fifty varieties of antipasti that span both hot and cold preparations, from vegetables to seafood. The space wraps around you with rich wood paneling, mirrored walls, and polished brass that gleam softly on cold evenings. The kitchen leans into Italian tradition with Roman specialties alongside contemporary takes on familiar dishes, while the broader menu spans generous cuts of steak, tender veal preparations, handmade pasta, and a deep selection of fresh seafood. It's the kind of place where you might linger between courses while the winter night settles outside.

It's the kind of place where you can settle in for a quiet dinner one night and dance until closing the next.

Eerie World Entertainment runs this immersive dining experience tucked into Midtown Manhattan, where the macabre aesthetic of Stevenson's classic Victorian tale comes alive around every corner.

The layered horror-themed décor creates an especially captivating escape during winter months, when the gloomy atmosphere outside mirrors the gothic mood waiting indoors. Two Manhattan locations exist—the original spot on Avenue of the Americas and a cozier offshoot pub situated in Greenwich Village—both trading in the same blend of theatrical spookiness and dining adventure.

“The view is magic… The long northern wall of the restaurant is floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge… a broad span of glittering lights… a sensational view. <br> Much of the food… explores Southern cuisine — defined broadly — and what might be called elevated soul food… I tried a fillet of striped bass encrusted with corn meal and okra. The contrast between the gritty, crunchy exterior and the moist interior made for a very fine dish. <br> Service… was definitely earnest and often charismatic. Both of the waitresses who interacted with our table had senses of humor and senses of just how much conversation we wanted and didn't and when.”<br> Diner's Journal - The New York Times
