New York City — and Times Square in particular — is the highest-stakes dining stage in America. Yet no premium soul food destination exists in the heart of the theater district. Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley is at 7 Times Square, two blocks from where Broadway meets Seventh Avenue, with the full award-winning menu, Kocktail program, and the "Welcome Home" hospitality that earned 100,000+ five-star reviews across our seven existing cities. From the pre-theater rush to weekend brunch and post-show late-night, K+K Times Square fills a category Manhattan didn't know it was missing.
Twenty-thousand square feet across four floors. The full menu — Fried Chicken & Waffles, Caribbean Jerk Lamb Chops, Lobster & Waffles, Shrimp & Grits, Surf + Turf — and the legendary 24K Gold Fashioned. Live DJ, hand-built cocktail program, private dining for groups up to 100, and a soft-open invitation list reserved for early subscribers. Pre-theater seatings 5:00–7:00pm, dinner through midnight, weekend brunch Saturday and Sunday.
Times Square has West African fusion, Asian-American chophouse, Caribbean classics, and theater-district staples — but no premium soul food destination at scale. We arrive with the full menu and a hospitality model the neighborhood has never seen at this address.
