On-site basics: The Placery and The Market
The Placery is the hotel’s lobby restaurant and bar. It serves the complimentary daily breakfast and operates as the evening bar/restaurant from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with popular items listed like a classic burger, chicken Caesar salad and a turkey pesto sandwich.
The Market is a 24-hour grab-and-go café for snacks, sandwiches and drinks — useful for early departures, late returns, or quick in-room meals.
- The Placery: lobby restaurant/bar — breakfast served daily (weekday and weekend hours vary), evening menu 4:00 p.m.–11:00 p.m.
- The Market: 24-hour grab-and-go for snacks and drinks
- A 24/7 coffee bar on property offers Starbucks espresso roast and all-day light bites

Casual and quick spots near Times Square South
If you want more variety than the hotel's grab-and-go or bar menu, Times Square South and the surrounding Midtown West blocks have many casual diners, pizzerias, delis and fast-casual chains within a short walk.
These spots are convenient for families, late-night cravings after a Broadway show, or quick group orders you can bring back to your room.
- Look for pizza-by-the-slice shops and local delis on 8th and 9th Avenues near 39th–42nd Streets
- Many casual restaurants near Times Square stay open late to serve theater crowds
- Counter-service places are useful if you need food outside The Placery’s evening hours
| Why choose | When to go |
|---|---|
| Fast, inexpensive options | Anytime — useful for late returns |
| Family-friendly diners and pizza | Before or after theater; evenings |
| Delis and bodegas | 24 hours or very early mornings |
Coffee, breakfast and grab-and-go beyond the hotel
The hotel’s 24/7 coffee bar and The Market cover most needs, but the neighborhood also has specialty coffee shops and cafés if you want a sit-down latte or pastry before sightseeing.
Morning timing is important: Broadway and museum crowds build mid-morning, so early coffee and a quick breakfast make it easier to reach attractions like Times Square, the Empire State Building or Hudson Yards.
- Use The Placery breakfast hours on weekdays and weekends for the complimentary buffet items noted by the hotel
- If you need specialty espresso drinks or pastry shops, walk toward 7th Avenue and 42nd Street for more choices
- For early flights or trains, grab food from The Market or the 24/7 coffee bar
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| The Placery (hotel) | Complimentary buffet-style breakfast |
| The Market / coffee bar (hotel) | Quick, 24-hour options and Starbucks roast |
| Neighborhood cafés | Specialty coffee and sit-down breakfasts |
Evening choices: drinks and light meals
If you want an evening out without traveling far, The Placery fills that role with bar seating and lounge-style space for cocktails and small plates from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
For a broader range of bars, cocktail lounges and full restaurants, head into Times Square or toward Hell’s Kitchen and Hudson Yards where Midtown’s bar scene and dinner options concentrate.
- The Placery is suitable for a relaxed drink and a burger or salad inside the hotel lobby
- Times Square South and Hell’s Kitchen have bars and restaurants of many styles within a short walk
- If you need late-night food after The Placery closes at 11:00 p.m., The Market stays open
| If you want | Do this |
|---|---|
| A drink in the hotel | Use The Placery (4:00 p.m.–11:00 p.m.) |
| A wider bar scene | Walk toward Hell’s Kitchen or Hudson Yards |
| Late-night snack | Buy from The Market (24/7) |
