restaurants near 4 west 33rd street

[ganache123]

Going to visit a shop at 4 west 33rd street between 5th and 6th ave. Any good restaurants out there? Thinking lunch but not terribly expensive. Thinking a casual place. Entrees $20.00 or less. Anything ethnic a plus. No chains please except maybe Shake Shack.

You're right by Herald Square, the ESB, and Macy's as well as Koreatown.

Thanks. I will check out the links. For some reason I didn't think I was so close to Herald Square. Whenever I am near there I think of BonChon chicken and even though I love it I want to branch out and try a new place.
