If you're visiting Midtown and looking to duck out of the rat race before or after a show, Harta provides welcome refuge.

It's an ideal spot for a quick and juicy burger, and you won't find a more welcoming or familial staff anywhere in the five boroughs. We also found the gluten-free blistered Shishito peppers completely irresistible and didn't leave a single one behind.
If you're interested in the filet mignon, you might want to call ahead to make sure they haven't run out for the night, but the steak frites made for a fine substitution.
And here's your pro tip: No matter else you order, save room for the chocolate cupcake made with candied hazelnuts and pralines. It's big enough to share, but we won't blame you for wanting one all to yourself.
