Flatiron is the neighborhood that doesn't need a nightlife scene because the restaurant scene is the nightlife. It sits at the crossroads of everything — Koreatown to the north, Union Square to the south, the park to the west. The building gets all the Instagram love, but the real draw is the insane density of world-class restaurants crammed into a few blocks.
The Flatiron District takes its name from the impossibly photogenic triangular building at 23rd and Broadway, but the neighborhood delivers way beyond that one landmark. Madison Square Park is a lunchtime oasis, anchored by Shake Shack's original location and surrounded by some of the city's most acclaimed restaurants—Eleven Madison Park, Cosme, ABC Kitchen. The streets along Broadway and Park Avenue South are packed with upscale-casual dining, wine bars, and cocktail spots that draw a well-dressed after-work crowd. Eataly's Italian food hall is a destination in itself. It's polished without being stuffy.
