Finally a fun place in the neighborhood. Loud music and fun bartenders unlike the usual midtown irish bars. Even saw a girl dancing on the bar last week.

I have lived in the neighborhood for years and I'm always pleased with their service. Extremely friendly staff and the food is always consistently good. Pizza is not bad. The buffalo wings are my favorite.

Walking into Moran's during the week it would seem like your average restaurant/pub, but looks can be deceiving. My husband and I visited several catering halls and researched a few restaurants for our wedding, but nothing seemed like the right fit u ...

Burgers are out of this world. Bleu cheese and bacon my favorite. Pretty big and not the usual midtown ripoff.

Now that summer is over we are heading back to our spot Point Break on 45th St. Very laid back and the staff very friendly. Prices and specials are good which is a rarity for midtown, which lends itself to rip-off tourist spots. We even have gotten some of the girls in our office to dance on the bar. We work a block away but the place has shown us that just because we has graduated from college we dont have to always act like it! Like the shot wheel too.

We recently discovered a fun place in midtown called Point Break. We probably head there once a week for the fish tacos. Very laid back atmosphere and love the pic of Patrick Swayze. Very casual and prices are reasonable which is a rarity for midtown. They have some fun drink and food specials that vary by the day and remind me of being on vacation.

My office just had a great party at this place called Point Break on 45th St in midtown. They have a few different floors and rooms but our function was on the 2nd fl. Nice to have a midtown spot that isnt so fancy and formal, Point Break was fun and seems to cater to younger professionals who still want to have fun. Food and music was great too!
