Times Square is getting a new all-day dining option that feels distinctly New York. Opening January 7, 2026, CUE 48 will debut inside Hyatt Regency Times Square, Manhattan’s first Hyatt Regency branded hotel. Designed as a social eatery that moves seamlessly from breakfast to late-night bites, the restaurant pulls its inspiration straight from the city’s neighborhoods.
Just steps from Broadway, CUE 48 pairs elevated American fare with a warm, theatrical atmosphere that shifts with the time of day. Bright mornings cater to coffee drinkers and early risers, while evenings lean into moodier lighting, cocktails, and pre and post theater energy. The space itself nods to Broadway glamour, combining golden-age touches with a modern edge through plush banquettes, tall windows, and dramatic accents.
A menu inspired by New York neighborhoods
Leading the kitchen is Sani Hebaj, a Brooklyn native whose cooking is shaped by the city’s diverse food culture. His goal was simple. Create a menu that tastes like New York. Starters include Bronx Plantain Chips and Guac, Brooklyn Burrata, and Washington Heights Beef Empanadas. Mains continue the borough tour with Queens Chicken Sliders and the Times Square CUE 48 Burger topped with caramelized onions, aged cheddar, and green tomato.
The day starts with elevated deli-style breakfast items, artisanal coffee, and pastries. Lunch focuses on refined classics built for speed, whether dining in or taking food to go. As evening rolls in, the menu expands to shareables, cocktails, and dessert favorites like Mini NY Cheesecake Bites and Union Square Churros.
Cocktails lean into classic New York swagger. The New Yorker mixes bourbon, sweet vermouth, amaro, cacao, and vanilla, while Hearts on Broadway blends vodka, citrus, pomegranate, and lavender. Zero-proof options are also available.
CUE 48 will be open daily from 6 am to 11 pm. Reservations are available through OpenTable.
