HISTORY /
Restaurant Row - an authentic Times Square and New York institution. On two city blocks (46th Street between Broadway and 9th Avenue), you can enjoy cuisine from all over the world, sample the styles of celebrity chefs, and join Broadway stars at some of their favorite haunts.
Dining options abound in this pleasant corner of the neighborhood. Take in a French feast at Le Rivage, a beer at House of Brews, or Spanish favorites Mason Sevilla. Glimpse the history of the neighborhood at Barbetta, which is almost as old as Times Square itself. The restaurant celebrated its 100th anniversary in
2006, and is still owned by the family who opened its doors just three years after New Yorkers rode their first subway car.
These are just a few of the more than 20 options available on this two-block stretch, where you can experience the diversity, history and innovation of New York's dining scene in the heart of the city, Times Square.

ST. Lukes Lutheran Church
305 W 46TH STREET | 646-864-1100
St. Luke's Lutheran Church, also known as The German Evangelical Lutheran Congregation of Saint Luke's and St. Luke's Evangelical Lutheran Church, is a historic Lutheran church located on Restaurant Row at 308 West 46th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in the Theater District of Manhattan, New York City.
St. Luke's was founded as a Dutch Reformed congregation in 1850, first meeting in rented rooms on the third floor of a building on 35th Street and 9th Avenue. It reorganized as a Lutheran congregation in 1853. The church moved several times, acquiring its first owned building, a former Baptist church on 43rd Street, in 1863. It moved in 1875 to 233 West 42nd Street, into the former Forty-second Street Presbyterian Church.
Finally, the congregation acquired property at West 46th Street to build its current church. The cornerstone was laid in October 1922 and the church dedicated in September 1923. An independent congregation without synodic affiliation since 1880, St. Luke's joined the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in 1987.
