A little about us & the culture that has been created… Friedmans is a family run business, which operates locations throughout New York City. Friedmans was named after the famous economist Milton Friedman who popularized the phrase, “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”. This phrase has gone on to be used in science, economics, finance, statistics, technology, sports, & now food. However, to put it simply, “to get one thing we like, we usually have to give up another thing we like.” Our mantra is simple, “Eat good food” and this is what we strive to deliver to our guests. For us, it has two meanings. Firstly, eat food that tastes good. Secondly, be proud of the food you serve. We know where our food comes from. We communicate regularly with our farmers and are proud to serve antibiotic free meats & local vegetables. Our mission is for you to love, respect, & enjoy, not only the food you serve, but also the team you work with.

Great food and waitress. Cornbread, Jerk salmon bowl, mashed potatoes, and homemade ice cream were great. Salmon and potatoes were large portions. Probably my favorite salmon dish I have had at any restaurant. Chicken just okay. A band started at 6:30. We were sitting at a table near the bar and it was loud enough that we couldn’t talk so if that matters to you, ask for a table near the back of the restaurant.

This was our first visit to New York and a friend recommended The Boathouse. We had a lovely window and very friendly server. I had the vegan and gluten free mushroom entree and members of our party enjoyed pasta, crab cake, burgers, soup and salad. All of the dishes we delicious! We walked to the restaurant after visiting The Met for a couple of hours. After lunch, we walked back to the museum until close. A magical NYC day!
