Hyatt Times Square’s T45 and B 54 Boasts A Delicious Menu & Spectacular Views

by Desha Winborne May 18, 2015

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 135 West 45th Street

Cuisine: American

Best Dish: The wings were splendid and the mac and cheese was to die for, but the bread pudding was the star of the evening. It was butter and rich without being cloyingly sweet.

Overall: Both the restaurant and the bar are comfortable relaxing spaces. The restaurant is perfect for the whole family but the bar is an impressive space for date night or an evening with friends.
