The many establishments and eateries deliver exceptional taste and value — exactly what you’d expect from this dynamic and diverse neighborhood. Let’s explore a few of the superb selections that excite the palate and leave one hungry for more.

Jaz Indian Cuisine | 813 Ninth Avenue

Featuring Northern Indian fare, Jaz carries more than just the name of its founder, Jaz Rupall; it embodies her passion for cooking and heritage. From steaming tandoori specialties, curries, and entrees like jardaloo gosht (lamb with dried apricots and straw potatoes), Jaz offers a flavorful exploration (the lemon rice is to die for) of North Indian specialties in an intimate and inviting setting.

Ariana Afghan Kebob | 787 Ninth Avenue

Serving consistently wonderful Afghan entrees since 1986, Ariana Afghan Kebob is a classic and beloved mainstay that locals adore. Known for its flavorful and succulent seared-on-the-grill kebobs (served with rice and salad), Ariana’s menu also highlights unusual dishes like curried pumpkin, fried turnovers, and homemade dumplings.

Poulette | 790 Ninth Avenue

Poulette specializes in French-style rotisserie chicken, emphasizing quality and farm-fresh ingredients. The menu features perfectly seasoned and roasted chicken, complemented by a selection of sides, salads, and sauces made in small batches to ensure freshness. Indeed, it’s hard to resist the allure of Poulette’s flavorful and juicy chicken, especially when it’s accompanied by a generous mountain of mashed potatoes.

Hyderabadi Zaiqa | 366 West 52nd Street

Despite its modest size and walk-down location, Hyderabadi Zaiqa is not to be overlooked. The dedicated chefs here serve up some of the city’s finest dum biryani, a mixed rice dish featuring vegetarian and meat options lightly infused with spices — the goat is considered the best in all of NYC. If biryani isn’t to your liking, the surprisingly extensive menu offers plenty to choose from.

Rice X Beans | 688 10th Avenue

Rice X Beans offers authentic Brazilian cuisine in a warm and welcoming setting. Known for its traditional stews and seasoned meats served with rice and beans, it’s a favorite for those yearning for flavorful food straight from the heart of South America. Chef and owner Carlos Roberto Inácio, or Carlinhos, prepares the signature dish, a traditional black bean and pork stew known as feijoada, by slow-cooking the meat overnight and seasoning it with a secret blend of spices. It’s this attention to detail that elevates each tasty morsel into a memorable gastronomic experience.

Lum Lum | 404 West 49th Street

From the creative signature cocktails to the equally intriguing list of house specials to the specialty appetizer snack selection, Lum Lum offers a delightfully original Thai menu that consistently delivers. Where does one begin when every single item looks enticing? Goi neu — spicy beef tartare with fried shallot, toasted rice, and sweet yam chips — paired with a frosty Singha sounds great.

When you reside at 555TEN, “all the world’s a stage” isn’t just a saying—it’s your reality, only a curtain call away.

There are essentially two ways to experience Madame Tussauds (234 W 42nd St): in earnest appreciation à la a trip to the Met, or with a slight wink-and-nod. For residents of the 555TEN’s luxury apartments in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, we invite you to do both—appreciate the craftsmanship and the kitsch all at once. It also makes for a perfect, kid-friendly (and adult-friendly) outing on a rainy day.

Madame Tussauds has an over two centuries-long legacy of crafting startlingly realistic wax figures of the world’s most important leaders, artists, innovators and pop culture icons. The New York location carries on founder Marie Tussaud’s artistry with over 200 uncannily lifelike statues spread across 80,000 square feet of interactive exhibits.

Visitors can traverse history by joining the ranks of past presidents such as Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt or national heroes like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, or brush shoulders with today’s hottest stars like Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Highlight displays transform regularly to feature fan favorites—currently wowing visitors are hyper-realistic figures of Ariana Grande, Angelina Jolie and even Kim Kardashian decked out in iconic Met Gala looks as part of the dazzling interactive Glow Gala experience.

Action and adventure await at Madame Tussauds MARVEL Hall of Heroes exhibit. Here, you can come face to face (or shield) with superheroes of the silver screen like Captain America, hang with wisecracking Spider-Man as he swings from the rafters, and team up with the Avengers to take down Loki and his invading alien forces in the action-packed cinema ride MARVEL Universe 4D. A towering 18-foot animatronic King Kong also resides within the museum walls, blinking, breathing and beating his chest as visitors uncover the mythic secrets of Skull Island.

For those who relish all things haunting and macabre, a Madame Tussauds visit promises frightful interactive fun with wax recreations of cinema’s most chilling monsters and murderers lurking within. Face off against possessed doll Annabelle, spin in the seat from The Exorcist, and come eye to glowing eye with the bloodthirsty clown Pennywise in the Warner Bros. Icons of Horror exhibit. This spine-chilling collection of figures and sets from classic spine-tinglers plunges visitors into an interactive world where they control the scares. The realistic waxworks are so eerie that the exhibit comes with a health warning for those faint of heart.

Beyond celebrities and heroes, Madame Tussauds invites visitors to step into the spotlight themselves at interactive exhibits like the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 555TEN residents can take the stage as talk show guests, reading the news alongside Michael Strahan or cracking jokes with Jimmy himself. At the Fashion Experience with Alessandra Ambrosio, visitors strut the catwalk decked out in stylish threads while receiving personalized coaching from the supermodel herself (in uncannily realistic wax form, of course). With interactive fun around every corner, it’s no wonder Madame Tussauds remains a top attraction for sightseers and locals alike.

For Midtown Manhattan residents at upscale homes like 555TEN, proximity to world-famous attractions enhances an already first-class lifestyle.
