Times Square Meal at Lillie’s Victorian, NYC

The Times Square location of Lillie’s Victorian is on 49th Street, which used to be a bustling area filled with theatres goers. Sadly no longer.

We met there as it was a half-way point between downtown and the Upper East Side to grab a bite. We, of course, started with cocktails. I sipped my very smoky Old Fashioned ($15); my friend their Writers Block ($15), consisting of cucumber-infused Vodka, Elderflower with a splash of seltzer.

We shared their traditional Caesar Salad ($14) and then Lillie’s half-pound cheeseburger from a certified Angus beef blend that came with fries ($17.50). We changed to their Parmesan ones (+$2). Loved that they cut the burger for us before serving and that the fries were crispy as requested.

I’d recommend a visit for grabbing a bite if you’re in the hood. Service is friendly and attentive.
