Worth it
  • Address156 7th Ave, New York, NY 10011
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

Elmo offers a diverse menu with a modern twist on American comfort food, featuring dishes like burgers, salads, pastas, and innovative small plates. The trendy Chelsea restaurant fits the bill on many occasions thanks to its large space and attentive staff.

Don’t hesitate to order the truffle fries, you’ll find yourself throwing them back like Tic-Tacs. Since lines are all but guaranteed at this lively Chelsea restaurant, plan your trip in advance and make reservations to save you some trouble.

Worth Noting: Elmo hosts Dj’d music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. As well as an energetic brunch on Sundays.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
