Friedman's - Edison Hotel on 47

Friedman's at the Edison Hotel is a popular New York City establishment located in the heart of the Theatre District. Known for its casual American comfort food, the restaurant offers a unique atmosphere that occasionally features singing servers, making it a favorite for those looking for a quintessential Broadway-adjacent dining experience. The restaurant is highly regarded for its commitment to accommodating dietary restrictions, particularly gluten-free needs, which stems from the owners' personal connection to celiac disease.

Dishes that are gluten-free are clearly marked on the menu and often served with a flag to ensure clarity for the diner.
