District M

I came here for dinner and the flatbread was really good — service was quick and friendly.
Mornings are a whole different story. Staff was *beyond rude* to the point that even if the food was good, I wouldn’t come back. However, the food was not good. Fruit was old and pastries were dried out.
I won’t be back.

This place is soo pretty. I could live in here all day!
— However getting to the bathroom whether it is #1 or #2 is horrible. What if it is an emergency? You literally have to leave the place, walk up the stairs, around the take out place and then press the button to take the elevator down to the lower level floor. By then you probably piss or crapped in your pants. You would be in trouble.
Our waitress was sweet. Play great music. Relaxed. Chilled Ambience.

RUDE SERVICE! DO NOT RECCOMMEND
We were looking for a place for our group to eat before a broadway show and the hostess was extremely rude. I asked if it was possible to eat on the ground floor because the restaurant is extremely dark and her response was «we’re going to put you where we are going to put you. You didn’t have a reservation, so this is where we are going to put you.»
I honeslty have been to hundreds of restaurants and her rude service was so appalling I walked out and will never return here.

District M at the ROW NYC was great! They had live music one night, and a Dj the other two nights of our stay. Raphael our bartender was the best! He surprised us with one of a kind custom drinks and was over the top in customer service. Will definitely be back!

I only ever stopped here for breakfast because I was staying at the row, but it was great! The bagels were warm and the cream cheese, butter, and strawberry jam (which was amazing) were all free. The ham and cheese croissant was nice and the coffee was extremely good. The guys working there were very friendly and helpful. If you’re at the row don’t forget to stop by!

Great bar and awesome staff. Stayed at the hotel for thanksgiving with friends and the bar is a fun place to gather and drink before heading out for the night. Bar staff couldn’t be more accommodating. The weekend we were there, Rapheal and Jim were behind the bar and were awesome.

$ 17 glasses of wine. Ambiance is upscale but heavily influenced by concrete industrial.

Stayed at the hotel for a night and I’m so glad I did! The entire staff was super friendly and genuine. There was a gentleman working the bar named Raphael, he was so sweet!!! Even when it was super busy they listened and helped us enjoy our experience! Great pizza and better drinks!!! We didn’t even go out that night, we just hung out at the bar.

One star because the food was okay. We are staying in the hotel which is in the same building so thought we would pop down for a meal as it looked nice.
We sat down for our meal and the waitress named Shelvey came over after about 5 minutes and asked us for our drink order as well as handing us the food menu. We ordered our drinks straight away and she returned a while later placing them down and leaving quickly before we could ask for some food.
We then waited some time, she never returned. We went up to the bar and asked if we could order food and the barman said we had to wait for the waitress. Another 10 minutes passed and I saw the barman talk to the waitress so she would come over. We ordered our pizza and she walked off.
We had finished our drinks a while before she took the order and she didn’t ask if we wanted more or clear the glasses. She returned with the pizza and rushed off again.
Once we finished the pizza we had to track her down to try and get a cheque.
After receiving the cheque I noticed she added her own 18% tip to the bill. She of course ran off again so I went to the bar to ask why we can’t chose the tip amount. The barman said he can’t talk to me to talk to the waitress. I said can he just answer my question to which the waitress appeared. She said it is ‘state law’ to add the tip themselves. The barman then said it is the minimum required tip in New York. I said to her I am not having that choice taken away how can they pick their own tip. She left and came back with a new cheque without the tip and said its New York State law to add 18% tips. I have been in America for a month now and eaten at multiple restaurants in New York and no one has added their own tip. They tried to take advantage of us not being from America and that is deceitful and disgraceful. I cannot believe that people would do this. We have tipped over 20% for people that gave us amazing service and will continue to do so. Safe to say Shelvey didn’t get a great tip.

I brought a large-​ish group of friends here this past Sunday. I had emailed the event person about reserving tables and received a confirmation, but when I arrived the staff had no knowledge of this. However, since I had been told that Sunday evening was quiet for them, they had no trouble setting us up in a private back area, so good save by the staff! Cocktails were great and their specialty pizzas were also delicious, although a bit pricey. I would definitely come back here with a large group in the future.

Great place for a glass of wine or craft beer. Quiet and cool next to craziness. I didn’t eat. But I like the vibe.

We came to District M for drinks on our last night in NYC and our bartender was AARON. Aaron was so welcoming and informative about the area. We enjoyed his company and we would definitely come back to District M just because he was awesome!

Surprisingly good gourmet hand-​stretched pizza, and live entertainment certain nights.
They’ve got a focused (read: small) menu, and the kitchen’s good at what they do. Their Mulberry Street ($ 18; credit accepted) was a crowd-​pleaser, full of spicy fennel sausage, mozzarella, and roasted bell peppers. The cheese was super stretchy, and the whole shebang came out in a jiffy.
Service isn’t the fastest if you need a follow up on your initial order, but in their defense, there’s usually only one or two folks supporting a mob of patrons (locals and people staying at the hotel — this is a hotel bar).

Very nice looking place! Clean, open, floor plan with plenty of natural light.
I stopped in on a Sunday early evening so the place was far from packed. Sat at the bar and got great service and the cocktails we tried were actually as good as they sounded on the menu! After my Fifty Shades of Green (I think that’s what it was called) the bartender helped me choose a great beer, La Chouffe. This place is a bit pricey for me but not for this area and I’d definitely hit it again. If you’re in the area or on the way to or from a show you can’t go wrong.

District M is the ideal hangout inside The Row NYC hotel. Sip on a cocktail and soak in the chic ambience of this restaurant/​cocktail lounge. Aaron was our server/​bartender & not only was he super helpful/​friendly — but a true mixologist. Any drink you can think of, he can make it.
Loved the dim lighting, high ceilings and projector-​like backdrop that looped black and white photos of legendary celebrities.
Wednesday night a sensational Frank Sinatra entertainer — Michael Dutra — sang hits like My Way, New York, New York that gave District M an all around Big City feel.

Wow! Ok first off I’m a New Yorker, so venturing into Times Square is every less than adjective. But instead of enduring a soul sucking tourist experience, I can confidently say I had one of the best nights of my life! Where to start? The food was amazing. The hall of fame jazz performer was… Exactly what his title entitles: INCREDIBLE.
I was transported into a swanky, old school New York restaurant that made me feel exactly as New York should — alive. On top of the amazing vibes, the staff was a dream. Thank god I trust my husband– the waitresses were beautiful! Everything about this place was perfection. Thank you for an amazing evening, I will be back!

Nice atmosphere.
Service was pretty slow but managers were nice.
No sense of urgency but my friend and I enjoyed our leisurely bar experience.

Live Music and no cover charge in their bar! Timatha & Her TKO R&B Band kept us grooving all night to songs from Earth, Wind and Fire, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Tina Turner and more! A great place to go for cool nightlife in Times Square! Food is available too… Beautiful, swanky bar with candles and large artistic slide show too. Update: St. Patrick’s Day bar party with Live Music Thursday March 17, 2016 8:30pm — 11:30pm with green drinks, party favors, and dancing!

I was really jetlagged from flying in from London, and staying at the Row (hotel which District M is situated within.) I was waiting for my husband to get into NYC, so decided to pop down to District M for some early dinner and a drink.
I went in and sat myself down. No menus anywhere and no one approached me. I managed to spot a menu dumped on a table across the room so walked over and grabbed it to take a look. I was sat down for over 10 minutes and still none of the staff approached me (there were about 6 people standing around not doing anything.)
I finally got bored of waiting and went up to the counter. No smiles. No greeting. I ordered a pizza and a very over-​priced cocktail, and the guy behind the counter (looked a bit like a manager) said «if you take a seat then we take your order at the table» I replied that I had in fact been waiting for 10 minutes already. No apology, just a look of distain.
Saving grace was that the pizza was delicious (but it would have to be for $ 20.) I finished my cocktail and I had to literally flag down a waitress to get a refill. And even then it seemed like I was inconveniencing them just asking.
For a $ 60 bill, I expect way better service. Really ruined my first experiences of New York. So many other places to eat nearby so just don’t bother.

It is inside the Row NYC formerly known as the Milford. That is why it is called district M? and M on the curtain? They serve continental breakfast with croissant from Payard and other famous bakeries.
Cool lounge at night. You can watch CNN and other sport events on the projected screen on the big wall.
