The Hugh

The Hugh Food Hall opened in 2021 with several restaurants and food kiosks. It’s my favorite place to visit seven days of the week as it has indoor greenery and lovely lights. It is spacious with lots of tables and chairs so has ample seating and piped in music. Lots of meetup groups come here to play board games. Restrooms (washroom) are clean and there are many stalls. Guards man the entrances but are always courteous. I particularly like Mahzedahr Bakery, Pesce Luly and now KazuNori to eat as they are all reasonably priced. I often come here on the weekends to read a book leisurely. The Hugh is open seven days of the week from 9 am till 10:30 pm and on the week evenings the bars make good business and the hum of the customers is inviting.

Good food court style in Mid town NYC. Good place to have lunch or dinner. You can buy food from different restaurant and enjoy it in seating area which located in the center of food court. Clean and nice seating area. Restroom are available.

One of the best food halls in NYC. Food here is top quality. The Thai restaurant, here is top notch. Tom Kha was a creamy and very hearty soup that I tried here. And other restaurants here are worth it to try I will be back again.

This is a very nice upscale food court with comfortable seating and variety of gastronomic offers. We ate at Pesce Lulu the fish and chips, well prepared and good price. I also had a nice cheesecake and a delicious granola/chocolate bar at Mah Ze Dahr bakery. Great place to go with family and friends, or just alone to enjoy a complacent environment.

Clean, plethora of different options and cuisines. Great to go with a group of people and try different things. The Western African food was a great choice!

I didn't know I came here and that this was specifically a PLACE. I thought it was just a regular ol' office building with a beautiful food court. I visited Kazunori, but that's a separate review. In the food hall, there's so much seating and high ceilings, trees, and natural elements, that the atmosphere feels peaceful, open, and inviting despite being generally loud since this a communal area for people to eat. I'm really interested to try the other vendors here now. Hopefully I'll get to make another visit soon! On the sides of the flight of stairs, there're these giant wooden "steps" that are lit where you can sit and lounge and take in the view or work on your laptop. On the sides of that seating area, there are the washrooms. My biggest dislike was the washroom. Super ugly in there and smelled and wasn't as clean as I'd expected. Highly recommend everyone check this place out. I'd come here often if I lived in this city.

Just had the most epic experience in Alidoro at the Hugh. It is now becoming my go-to sandwich haven in NYC. From hot to cold , they have got me covered with a variety of mouthwatering sandwiches. Really obsessed with the hot spread from Fratelli, seriously addictive! Every layer burst with flavor. It’s so delicious and filling, the crunch, the freshness of the meat and that special something that makes Alidoro stand out! They have multiple locations in NYC, make sure to check them out!!

A wonderful place for a business lunch or dinner A very good variety of food selections

Love this food court on the upper east side - it's so modern, bright, and airy! I've only ever tried Miznon (which was bomb) but the other food options look amazing too. I got the slow cooked beef and roots stew, which was hearty and delicious ($18). They have plenty of seating, a great spot for a fun lunch or meetup with friends!

One of the coolest food halls l've been to. Lots of great food options that are surprisingly not overpriced. Great spot to work from too

This is a great one-stop-shop to get your smoothie, salad, sushi, tacos, burgers, etc! There's also drinks at the back for happy hour and lots of seating to get some work done. It's very lively, but great to relax and hangout with coworkers.

This is a place you have to go to EXPERIENCE yourself! So many food courts,plenty of space to sit with friends and share lunch or to just sit by yourself n have a moment! There's out door seating with a waterfall view and even a direct entrance to the subway... lovely lighting, and seating as if you're watching a play out doors,there's even an elevator to take you down stairs upon entering(depending which entrance you enter from) As for me I would go back just for the AMBIENCE!!

Excellent variety of vendors. Lots of seating. Convenient location. Relaxed atmosphere.

Nice place if you need a spot to get away from your office ~ variety of cuisines but the food options are underwhelming!

Enjoyed a GREAT BOWL OF RAMEN from MOKBAR. A hidden gem inside THE HUGH. See my detailed review about MOKBAR at MOKBAR, here on Yelp . MOKBAR is hidden away in the back, across from the great burger place. If you see white/blue PESCE, you are steps from MOKBAR ...just walk or ride behind PESCE. The Chicken Ramen was wonderful, it has ginger and garlic which I love and I added a soft boiled egg ($2) and spinach ($2). Fantastic. I also love the ginger plum ice tea. I would buy a gallon of it, if I could. See my photos I have ALSO ENJOYED, Yummy good THAI FOOD (pineapple fried rice w/chicken) and Thai ice tea, at "Thank You Come Again"-that's the name; AND a good burger at the place in the back, across from MOKBAR. I still have several places I want to try, since photos of the food from these other places look FANTASTIC on Yelp. I also love that The Hugh is kept clean, and you can see the cleaning staff doing a great job all the time. Thank you!!

It is a great lunch spot for lunch in midtown, you name it, they have it, from thai, sushi hand roll, Jamaican, pizza, bowls, Mediterranean, and etc. The seatings are spacious, modern, sunny and comfortable. Also Definitely people watching place if you sit on the ladder overlooking the hall. Lines and crowds can get a little crazy during lunch hours, but it also moves pretty quickly.

When hen you get there just enjoy the view the food and drinks are always an option when you come from the outside on the inside is always more relaxing to be somewhere you can enjoy the view without the rush. The violist was a great touch and the line up of food was a great addition because the service is always welcoming. So in all you can take a moment to breath with the beautiful trees as if you are outside and watch a game on tv on the inside. Very spacious to have a small group and your own space to chill.

A perfect place to escape the heat, rain or snow depending on the season. Beautifully decorated with art installations upstairs. The current was beautiful featuring dresses inspired by landmarks in the city. Tons of seating in the main area and most of the restaurants have counter space for either sitting or standing. I was a bit surprised it wasn't busier when I went at 1100 on a Friday when most places said they opened, but perhaps I beat the lunch rush or the record setting rains played a factor. My one frustration was that most of the restaurants sites said they opened at 11, but by 1130, very few were actually open. My original place I wanted to go to said they'd be opening in about a half hour when I checked in at 1130. Fortunately, there were other great choices. Which leads me to my favorite part of the Hall, the variety of food choices. Absolutely something for everyone. If you have a picky eater and an adventurous eater, you shouldn't have any problem finding something to eat here. It's also a great place to grab a few small items from different restaurants to share or eat yourself!

Like a posh food court at an international airport terminal, Terminal C Newark maybe you, definitely not you LaGuardia.. ten to twelve different restaurants offer food and alcohol, coffee et all in bar service style. A large communal mixed seated area with tables and more casual seating caters for patrons only. Security patrols make sure you're consuming something otherwise you're moved on. Ideal for friends who hate each others' palettes.

I would give this space 5 Stars if it wasn't for the menacing security guards. I can't imagine why they are trained to cut people off as they are entering, constantly hovering and circling close to give piercing looks. I have come here to eat lunch at least 100 times, and it is always the same. It's creepy and unnecessary . If it wasn't such a convenient and otherwise cheerful spot I would steer clear of it due to the constantly in your face presence of the mall cops. Certainly they can keep an eye on the patrons without being so conspicuous and surly? This is the wrong way to monitor the perimeter.

Despite the nice array of seating options, the security guards must be paid based on how much of an asshole they can be. I watch the security guards harass innocent teenagers for sitting casually but then I walk into the women's bathroom to be screamed at by a naked homeless woman cleaning herself with toilet water. I guess the guards have their priorities straight.

I was looking for some food halls in NYC near by where I was at, and this happened to show up on my Yelp search. They have a variety of foods, so it was perfect for my bf and I to choose from since we had different cravings. The Ambiance, 10/10 it is so cute, clean, and convenient in there. Bathrooms were solid, security is all over for some reason, and the food that I had was actually quite good. I knocked a star down cause prices are pretty wild, but to be fair it's also Midtown East so what can you really expect. Overall, I love it, I will be coming back. Tip: The 6,E,&M trains legit leave you right there if you get off the correct exit!

There are so many restaurants to choose from at The Hugh. I recently tried several spots for lunch. At Kotti Berliner Döner Kebab I ordered the Döner Salad with chicken. The flavors were amazing and the chicken was delicious! This meal is a great option for lunch if you are in the neighborhood. I will be a repeat customer. KazuNori is out of this world! It's hard to put in words how good this place is. I ordered Split Cut Rolls from their to go menu: Salmon, Toro, and Yellowtail. The fish is so fresh and delicious. It's nothing like I've ever had before. This is a must try at The Hugh! Two amazing restaurants. Highly recommend checking out both!

I've been to this place several times and this is a rather unique food court. I would almost describe it similar to the food you get at Urbanspace but a bit fancier. The prices are definitely higher than most food courts but they make up for it with a variety of fantastic places including some spots where there has never been a food court location. Probably the biggest addition there is a new location of KazuNori a handroll specialist which usually has a line out the door at the other spot in NoMad. You can read my review of this fantastic new location here https://www.yelp.com/biz/kazunori-the-original-hand-roll-bar-new-york-3?hrid=Bm4CAPFemTYGBvhNgXAk6A&utm . Teranga, a Senegalese spot, is probably their other biggest opener as their other location is a popular spot in Harlem. They serve African bowls and I tried the Suya bowl which consists of said Suya (either chicken or lamb for an extra buck topped with a peanut powder,) Jollof/tomato Rice, Kelewele/sweet plantain, Ndambe/veggie stew, Mafe/peanut sauce, and Moyo/scotch bonnet/onion mix. This was spicy and delicious and well worth it for the price. Mokbar is a Korean spot which I tried once. They also have locations in Chelsea Market and I believe in Brooklyn. I had a crabby shrimp bowl which was fine. It was basically their version of a Hwe dup bap with a said crab/shrimp as well as a variety of vegetables and a creamy slightly spicy sauce. It is slightly overpriced like most other things there but still pretty tasty. They also had a ginger plum tea which is delicious. Miznon is an Israeli spot and they offer a slightly shorter menu then their North Miznon location. I had their Steak Pita 2.0 which had some tasty meat but I found it to be a bit small for the price. It was a good mix of flavors but I preferred their old version I once tried at North Miznon especially as that version came with a large pepper. Mah-Ze-Dahr is a rather famous bakery with Pakistani, Arabic, and French influences. I had a ma'moul which compared to the usual was a mix of walnuts, pistachios, and dates. It was easily the fanciest version of this rather delicious Arabic shortbread I have ever had and it was probably worth it for the $4 or $4.50 I paid as it was more unique in comparison. From Alidoro; an Italian sandwich spot on the east side in the 30s that is very popular; I have had the Pinocchio with artichokes instead of roasted peppers. The price was reasonable for the size and it is popular for good reason though perhaps it was a bit too salty with the mix of meat and the black olive spread. I would probably get one of the prosciutto sandwiches next time. Kotti Berliner Doner Kebab serves döner of course a Turkish treat also popular in Germany. I had a platter which was large and good but I can't help but think that I would prefer to play less outside at one of the many good Halal carts nearby but the quality was solid and the topping were different. I have yet to try the BK Jani what is a Pakistani burger spot and that'll be next time but it won't be for a while. Nice massive food stall. Beautifully made. The prices are a bit too high but it comes with the neighborhood. Mid/low 4 bumped up for the couple exceptionally good spots.

5/5 Amazing indoor food hall in midtown! The interior is absolutely beautiful, it's so cozy inside. Decided to order from BK Jani's which is a halal Pakistani inspired burger joint. I got the fried chicken sandwich - it was amazing! The flavours were aromatic and delicious - I would highly recommend this spot or one of their other locations in New York. They have a tonne of other options featuring international options like Korean, Mexican, Italian etc. You'll definitely find something you like here!

Popped here to grab a drink with folks after work. They have a lot of little stations that sell drinks and food; some better than others. The KazuNori is probably the best (sushi rolls). The rest - mixed reviews from people that worked in the area, but it's a gorgeous spot with a lot of airy high ceilings, clean tables, and expensive food. The natural light comes in well during the day. They had a few people walking around to pick up plates, glasses from the tables, and wipe things down. Still, very neat area that also opens to the subway downstairs and a great use of space.

What's not to love about The Hugh?! With the amount of food and drink options, you can come here more than once a week and not have tried everything. Favorite vendors are Alidoro and Miznon. When the weather heats up, there is an outdoor bar that serves amazing cocktails and beer. Always a good time!

Came here after a weeknight for a quick dinner meal. There's a bunch of options here to choose from. I got the bulgogi bowl shown below and overall tasty. The space itself has a lot of room for seating and also nearby the train station so it's super convenient.

So much variety and so many places to sit relax, eat and people watch so I highly recommend. They have so many options to choose from that there's some place for everyone. Very clean as were their bathrooms so I highly recommend.

Attended a Holiday family event at The Hugh- food court. The lower level food court is spacious with lots of table seating and wide coliseum steps to enjoy a meal, with lots of bright sunlight coming from the beautifully decorated LED lights. Food vendors weren't open for business yet since the event started in the morning. To celebrate the holidays the main area has three lit Christmas trees that just brightens up the whole mood of dining here. The only complaint is the public Women's bathroom, some stalls have non-functioning toilets. Overall, a good food hall and conveniently located next to the train station.

Great Food Court, open area bars, public space. Nice, peaceful, entertaining and the public restrooms are very convenient if coming out of the Subway. I ate and had a drink here. I'll be returning again as the space is very comfortable for some remote work and food. The only negative is the many loud teenagers also using the space for gatherings.

The hue is the latest space to be reworked in the right way and the right way in Midtown East. I remember this space being a Dunkin donuts and something else something a long time ago, but I'm super glad to see a lot of my favorite places from around the boroughs in one food hall. I felt pretty comfortable coming to have lunch here because they check your ID & vaccination status at the door. When I entered the space, it's clean, spacious, natural light, filled atrium is surrounded by the humble, yet spectacular scents and flavors of the city most folks in this area have yet to experience. I grabbed lunch and some goodies for later from a few of the vendors. I know i'll back soon to try all these amazing places and soak up the ambiance, they have trees!

The Hugh is a food court inside a building. I used to come here a lot to relax, eat lunch, and they had a piano player. Back then it had a different name and you could access the Barnes and Noble that was here. Now this is a high end place in my eyes. The first security at the door was nasty to me because I was taking photos of the restaurant. He said I can't take photos because it's a private building. I stopped and asked him to clarify what he said. "I'm not allowed to enter to eat at the food establishments and use the restroom?" He played dumb and went back to me taking photos. I said I stopped now, am I or not allowed to do business in here. At that point he sent me to the next security station to have my vaccination and ID verified so I could enter. Ugh, there's always one! The second young man was very nice. He understands that if I post the food choices people will come here to eat. He also pointed me in the direction of the restroom. We had a nice chat. The space is nothing like it was before. I did have a really nice learning experience talking to the employee at the Jamaican Food Station. She was excited to have their menu posted and welcomed me back next time I'm hungry. I'm giving you a quick tour with my photos. It's all new and full of seating where you can eat. The bathroom facilities are very nice too. I'm sure I'll return. I know what to expect now. I'll take out my camera after I have my food or drink! I do love my photo of Bob Marley though! I suggest you go to the Jamaican Food first!

Great new food hall perfectly located steps outside the E train stop at Lexington Ave & 53rd St. Most of the vendors are already open, with a few more such as Kazunori and a pizza concept set to open soon. I stopped by Alidoro for one of their amazing sandwiches and Teranga, one of the best places for a big satisfying bowl of food. I'll be back soon for Miznon and more.

03/06/23: very nice good court. Variety of cuisine, ample seating. Nice place to get away from the office and have lunch. Very clean and tables a bit close but enough not to feel you are on top of other patrons. The trees give it a nice touch.

I am at Greenpoint Fish & Lobster Co., a bar inside the Hugh. The Hugh is a wonderful human meeting area, with several excellent restaurants and bars. I am enjoying a delicious Manhattan here, served by a friendly and attentive bartender. The look of the bar is nice ... the bar itself is a semicircle with a patterned tile on top ... lovely. My seat is very cushioned and comfortable, too ...

Well, if this isn't a gorgeous little sleek 'n' chic food hall. Better yet, it houses another outpost of my current favorite restaurant Teranga, from which I had a delightful bowl of chicken suya (though note that the bar is only open on Fridays). Come here with 1, 10 or 50 of your closest friends, and you'll still have plenty of seating. On Thurs night from ~6pm-8pm, there was a live jazz being performed underneath the clock.

I loved the space. Plenty of options for a satisfying meal. Great natural light coming from the ceiling. Lots of seats available. I particularly liked that you don't have to purchase any food, and can use this space to eat your own meal. A fantastic addition to the neighborhood.

This place has a very welcoming and inviting atmosphere. I love the concept of food courts, and this one is rather high end. They have a variety of wonderful options, such as Avocaderia, the salad bar, a coffee place, a Thai place, a BK Jani, an African place, KazuNori hand roll, which is fantastic and usually draws lines out the door, a Miznon, fish taco place, etc etc. This place in Midtown East also draws in an upper class financial crowd that works in this area, and you can see many people in dress up clothes eating lunch here. I give it 5 stars for the variety of seating options, spaciousness, ambiance, and modern amenities. You don't get this with Hudson or Chelsea Market, which is way more food court and has less places to socialize and co work. You can co work here and socialize and eat.

Great space with ample seating and a variety of food to choose from. We got the avocado farmers bowls for $17 (tax included).

Found this neat spot while killing time. It's located in Midtown's Citigroup center offering a variety of food stations but it's definitely not your typical food court. I am so jealous I don't have something like this around my workplace!! Albeit it may be for the better haha ;) The place is really well kept, pleasant lighting and choices range from American, and Latin, to Jamaican and all that would fall in between. I seriously felt as if they had an option for every cuisine. Plus a dimly lit bar in the corner! In true food court fashion table seatings are nested in between with admittedly real looking trees within its surrounding. There is also a lounging area in forms of wide stairs that have enough space to lay out (which I am not recommending but to give you an idea) that makes it perfect to finish up some remote work or simply read a book. The only station I had time to visit was Mah Ze Dahr bakery for a Chai Latte with Oat milk which was extremely satisfying. I am definitely eager to come back and pay some stations a visit. FYI it's easy to miss this place if you're not paying attention when you walk by it as it can be mistaken for a office building so be sure to keep an eye out and peek inside!

This is a really cool food hall. It's spacious with lots of seating. The food offerings and varied and excellent, including Miznon, Teranga, Pesce Lulu, Avocaderia, BK Jani, and more. It's a perfect place to grab a casual or quick dinner. My only complaint is when I went in the evening, the music was very loud with a thumping bass. It felt like clubby music, which seemed odd for this space. I would have much preferred different music. Maybe they want you to leave faster!

Great space lots of seating wasn't too busy at 1:30pm on a Monday afternoon. Crowd def died down after 2pm lots of great food options and love the little outdoor space for nice weather.

They started building this place pre-covid and I was amazed at the size of the indoor trees and what looked like 80-foot ceilings. I missed the grand opening since I stopped coming to the city. But now I am back and making the rounds and had a chance to take a look. The Hugh looks grand the huge floor area with seating everywhere and on some days and nights live music. It will be a favorite watering hole with 3 bars for the after-work crowd. In terms of restaurants, they have over a dozen some of which will be open after 5 PM. It will be hard to imagine coming here and not finding something to eat.

This place is wonderful! I came in with my husband recently to try Greenpoint Fish and Lobster Co. and it was amazing! I ordered the raw oysters. It came with horseradish and delicious vinegar sauce with sea salt. It was great! The space is welcoming with natural lighting and beautiful layout. I came in around 1 pm so it was not mobbed. Maybe because it's tucked in and hidden? Either way, it has an inviting vibe. There are a ton of options of food here. I would definitely recommend visiting. Who knows? You might see me reading a book and inhaling some delicious

Bringing back the former Citicorp food Spot to its former glory but a million times better. This building holds great memories with my mom eating at the court and long gone Italian spot. This food hall has an incredible selection of vendors Thai, Pesce lulu, green point fish, company and mahzedahr ton name a few. There's a lot of seating that's well placed and a very very pleasant surprise.

This used to be the atrium in the Citi building that had a few cafes to buy lunch from, some seating, and a piano. Now this area has been transformed into The Hugh. A new food court with more upscale choices. Security checks proof of vaccine at the door. Inside it's a whole new world. New lighting, higher ceilings, and tons of new food options. The craft beer spot is spacious, the pizza place looked delicious, and the Thai spot looked great, as well. Miznon also has an outpost here, offering all of their usual yummy goodness. I ended up purchasing from the bakery. Really solid spot to check out if you're in the area for lunch, an after-work drink, or breakfast on your way into the office from the subway.

Beautiful interior that is spacious and with lots of seating. Great for a lunch break if you work in the area. My friend and I shared some items. -miznon - folded cheeseburger in pita - delicious and flavorful but pretty small -jumeika - jerk chicken w/ rice. pretty good but i wish teh jerk chickn was a bit spicier -alidoro - sandwiches were pretty bomb Overall, great food with a nice diverse array of options. However, i can't give full 5 stars because of price/value (portions are pretty small and you're dropping AT LEAST $15, likely more) and because they're not open on weekends. Perhaps if i worked at a company that expensed my lunches I'd come here more often.

This place is great! Came here with a group of friends on a Thursday for lunch, and was surprised by how beautiful it was as well as the abundant seating and food choices available. I ended up going with BK Jani, and ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken was cooked perfectly and came with a spicy green raita sauce. The one complaint I had about BK was that the burger was quite expensive ($12) for just chicken between sesame bun. It was tasty though! Will I come back here? Yes. If anything just to enjoy how nice the atrium looks. And also to try another food stall!

It across the street from the Sloan Kettering doctors office that we were at. Its a food court, but not you typical mall food court. Its a food court with good restaurants and great options. I only wish we had been there earlier when it was busier so I could see what other people were getting. My wife and her aunt shared avocado toast with chips and humus from one place and I had thai food from another place. Although my wife didn't care for the humus the avocado toast was pretty good. And as for me, I had chicken with spicy basil sauce. It was good and they made it nice and spicy for me. I almost forgot about the best part. The people working there! I have to say they were all awesome.

What a refreshing food hall in the neighborhood! Wonderful venue for coffee, snacks, lunch, dinner , or anything in between. Once the office workers return to the office, I guarantee this place will be very crowded! Until then, I will try everything in the hall & enjoy the beautiful interior while tasting all these delicacies!

Epic big gathering spot with tons of options. Food/drinks are insanely top price, but for the ambiance, space, and cleanliness, well worth it.

We all had different items from different places. Oxtail stew, ramen, chicken katsu curry with purple rice, pita sandwich!!!! All very good!!!

Great food court with many options. All the vendors seem professional. The place is very clean. The management has security patrol to keep out any riffraff. Overall, a great place to grab a bite to eat and to enjoy the clean ambience

Well....it looks like Night club and food court had a baby and they called it "Hugh". This place is slick and I felt WILDLY underdressed in my shorts and crocks, walking around at lunch time with "all the beautiful people". Wow...that's a first. I only came here to check out the lay of the land, and parked it for just a beer at Greenpoint seafood. Nice little spot and even the atmosphere was just chill. Bartender Eric was super nice and welcomed me. I'll be back to try some of the food, but will be planning when it is least crowded...probably pre-lunch rush will save some time. Otherwise, this place is cool.

Excellent ambiance, something for everyone and very family friendly in a big city. We were visiting from out of town and not sure what we wanted to eat. Found the Hugh and it was an oasis out of the rain, providing great selections of great food and drinks!
