Location: 1501 Broadway
Cuisine: American
Items: 1 app, 2 entrees, 1 burger, 1 dessert, 1 cocktail.
Best Dish: The nachos were awesome, the Steak was cooked perfectly but the fried shrimp is the must-have! These seafood marvels are big and juicy, with a light buttery flavor. Despite being deep fried they are also not greasy at all.
Overall: Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. What more can we say?
Express and R&B superstar Robin Thicke took over New York City’s Time Square to commemorate the grand opening of their newest retail space. The beautifully manicured store features a slew of the latest offerings from Express, for both men and women. There was literally something for everyone. We found the store to be quite spacious, stands three stories high and 22,500-square feet. Chairman and CEO Michael Weiss even jokingly described the store by saying, “It’s Express on steroids“. Additionally, the store is very tech-friendly, with LED walls and screens, interactive iPads, mobile points of sale, and on-site charging stations to enhance the shopping experience.
