"After spending an entire day reveling in holiday cheer on Fifth Avenue, it can be refreshing to step away for a bite. Though Urban Hawker, a Singapore-style food hall, isn't technically in Rockefeller Center, it’s just about a five-minute walk away—and it has some excellent take-out options, including our favorite Hainanese chicken in the city. It’s an even better option if you’re in the neighborhood with a big group: there are 15 vendors and everyone will find something they like. There are tables too, though it can be tricky to grab one at peak meal times. Cocktails are available at the in-house Sling Bar." - bryan kim, will hartman, hannah albertine, kenny yang
