Broadway Sings® Whitney Houston

Before

0.2 mi · 4 min walk - Murray Hill

The 32nd Street branch opens at five in the morning, which nothing else on this block does. Trays and tongs at the door, then a wall of milk bread, red bean buns, cream-filled pastries and the sweet-savory garlic bread, and a coffee counter at the back. Seats upstairs if you want to sit with it.

After

0.2 mi · 4 min walk - Murray Hill

Separate counters fill three floors behind one door on 32nd Street. You order at whichever stall you want, take a number and sit at a shared table, so a group can eat Korean fried chicken and knife-cut noodles and a bowl of shaved ice at the same time without anybody compromising. Trays, plastic water cups, nobody hovering.
