Chenny's Kitchen

On Cedar between Broadway and Nassau you’ll find a cozy address where lunch turns into conversation. Chenny’s Kitchen sits inside a quiet stretch of the Financial District, a few blocks from the water and the crowds. Traditional restaurant set in a brick row-house with a striped awning and a no-reservations stoop. Calling ahead cuts the wait on weekdays. (212) 797-9477 puts a table on the list and saves the awkward hover near the front door. Downtown lunchers rely on the daily soup special, updated by noon, and the walk-in side orders that disappear by two. Corner booths fill with power brokers; the counter stays friendly for quick bites and take-out coffee. Find the door beneath the green awning. The quickest path is on foot from the 4/5 Broad St stop or via the map link below. Stay north of Liberty and you’ll arrive in ten minutes.
