A little about us & the culture that has been created… Friedmans is a family run business, which operates locations throughout New York City. Friedmans was named after the famous economist Milton Friedman who popularized the phrase, “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”. This phrase has gone on to be used in science, economics, finance, statistics, technology, sports, & now food. However, to put it simply, “to get one thing we like, we usually have to give up another thing we like.” Our mantra is simple, “Eat good food” and this is what we strive to deliver to our guests. For us, it has two meanings. Firstly, eat food that tastes good. Secondly, be proud of the food you serve. We know where our food comes from. We communicate regularly with our farmers and are proud to serve antibiotic free meats & local vegetables. Our mission is for you to love, respect, & enjoy, not only the food you serve, but also the team you work with.

A neighborhood gem. We dined three different times this week alone and each time the meals were delicious, creative, cooked fresh, served beautifully. The number of gluten free choices is fantastic and I think people who don't even have a gluten allergy will find each dish perfectly delicious. Love, love this place!

Great service. Very welcoming. The food was good and you could modify to meet dietary needs. We didn’t feel rushed and our waiter offered great suggestions

The food and service were great! The museum closed earlier than we expected so we went over early and they were able to accommodate us with seating at the bar. We got the specials (patty melt and shawarma salad), both which came out in a timely manner and tasted great. The bartender was attentive, friendly and helpful. We definitely intend to come back!

We just stopped by for a quick dinner before heading out to walk New York City. The hamburger was great, and the salmon salad looked quite delicious.

We loved our pork chops and salmon dinners. We were fortunate to get a booth because my companion uses a walker and we needed some extra room. One of our favorite places to eat!
