Hudson Eats! Great View & Cool Eats!

Last June, Brookfield Place opened Hudson Eats, an upscale dining terrace overlooking the Hudson river. Hudson eats features fast-casual concepts from 14 chef-driven restaurants. I got the pleasure Friday afternoon to check out the space and sample some goodies at a few of the vendors! Take a look at this quick overview of a few of my favorties, and make sure to check it out for yourself!


Best Seller: Spicy Tuna Roll
Employee Favorite: Salmon Poke
Blue Ribbon is noted as one of the finest Sushi Bar’s in NYC, making it a perfect fit for Hudson Eats beautiful venue. Their unique rolls are made with fresh sushi that is flown in DAILY from The Sea of Japan. The menu is full of variety and I don’t see anywhere that you can go wrong. The staff was very knowledgeable an inviting to all my questions and I assured them I’d be back with friends!


Best Seller: Salmon Cream Cheese Sandwich and Everything Bagel
Employee Favorite: Sesame Bagel
Black Seed Bagel is awesome all on it’s own, and being backed by sister restaurants The Smile, and Mile End Deli, they are set up for success. With the suggestion of the cashier, I went for the Sesame bagel and it was among the best I’ve had around the city. Their house made cream cheese is nothing short of mouth watering- which pairs perfectly with a hand rolled bagel baked in a wood-burning oven. I’ll definitely be back for that best seller!

Best Sellers: Chicken, Steak & Brussel Sprouts
Employee Favorite: Mac n Cheese and Salmon
You can’t have a dinning terrace in New York City without fully representing the health conscious and the vegetarians. That’s were Dig Inn comes in! Dig Inn’s seasonal menu focuses on taste, nutrients, and vitality. Their ingredients are never processed or industrialized and the best part is they are all local!

Another California native, this LA chain has been named “Burger of the Year” by GQ magazine, and it lives up to that title! “Umami” is a Japanese term for pleasant and savory in taste.
