44 & X Hell's Kitchen
American · European · New York, NY
About
In Hell's Kitchen, 44 & X is a casual comfort food spot with a touch of luxury, opened in 2000 by two guys aiming to reinvent American classics. The menu blends American, European, fusion, and Latin-Spanish influences, and the owner, a third-generation butcher, hand-selects the steak. The vibe is mixed gay-straight, drawing a 30s-40s crowd for its Tony-themed cocktails and seasonal dishes. It's dog-friendly with outdoor seating and happy hour.
The restaurant sits in a former gas station, a bit of local trivia that regulars know. It's a pre-theater favorite, steps from Broadway. Friday nights are busiest. The staff is professional and efficient. If you're visiting Katz's Delicatessen for a pastrami fix, consider 44 & X for a different kind of New York classic.
In Hell's Kitchen, this spot is close to Broadway and Theatre Row, making it a convenient pre-theater stop.

Excellent drinks before a show. The Ozmopolitan is a must-try.

“Cramped”
The food and service were fantastic. Our only issue was that the table spacing was very tight, separating our two-top from the next by only a few inches. It felt like we lost any privacy and our table for two essentially became a table of four.

Everything is great here. The turkey meatloaf is very flavorful. The staff are professional, efficient, and not overly pretentious. I come here every time I visit New York City.
