Times Square Chain Restaurants, Ranked - New York - The Infatuation

"Come For: An escape with bibs and blue margaritas. The biggest draw of this three-story Red Lobster (besides the unlimited Cheddar Bay Biscuits) is that you forget you’re actually in Times Square. The huge dining room on the top floor doesn’t have any windows, so instead of being stared down by a model in a 20-foot Gap billboard, you can relax in your booth decorated with faux portholes. This won’t be the best seafood you’ll ever have, and your waiter might periodically forget you exist, but you’re here for an afternoon of reckless abandon filled with blue margaritas as big as your head, endless rounds of decently cooked shrimp, and a lobster bib you’ll wear with pride." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, ciera velarde, molly fitzpatrick
