Weekday Lunch With Wifi and Charging Near Penn Station
Tara Mor is a one minute walk from Penn Station and one block from Madison Square Garden, and the tables stay open through the middle of the day with fast wifi and outlets at most seats. That combination matters to anyone working through lunch rather than just eating it.
We built our weekday lunch service around the people who actually fill Midtown at 1pm. Commuters between trains. Office workers who want to leave the desk without losing the afternoon. Freelancers and remote workers who need a table, a plug, and a reason to stay past the first course. Small teams stepping out of a nearby office for an hour. Monday through Friday, 12pm to 4pm, every lunch item on the menu pairs with a drink for $22, apart from the fish and chips. On Fridays the deal rolls straight into our all day happy hour, so the lunch crowd and the after work crowd share the same room.
Lunch near Penn Station, built for the laptop crowd
Free coffee refills and reliable wifi are not add ons here. They are why a $22 lunch works for someone who plans to sit for two hours. We have charging ports at most tables in the main room, and the space stays quiet enough between noon and two that a laptop and a notebook fit as easily as a plate.
The lunch menu itself is built for a working table. The Ballymaloe Burger, pepper crusted with Ballymaloe relish, white cheddar, and arugula, eats cleanly with one hand free for typing. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, with avocado, pickled red onion, and blue cheese sauce on a brioche bun, is the same. The Filet Mignon Steak Sandwich, served open faced with sauteed mushrooms, onions, fontina, and horseradish aioli, is the heartier option for a longer working session. The House Salad, with radicchio, avocado, apple, tomato, and herb vinaigrette, is vegan and gluten free.
Location and transit
Tara Mór sits at 150 West 30th Street, a one minute walk from Penn Station's 1, 2, 3, A, C, and E lines and one block from Madison Square Garden. For anyone commuting in for a half day of work or breaking up a meeting schedule near MSG, the walk from the platform to a table takes less time than waiting for a table at most Midtown lunch counters.
A table for the whole working week
Monday through Friday, 12pm to 4pm, the $22 lunch and drink pairing runs across the full menu except the fish and chips. We keep the room open to walk ins throughout that window, so there is no need to book ahead for a solo lunch or a small working group. On Fridays, the lunch crowd folds into our all day happy hour, so a working lunch that runs long simply becomes the start of the weekend.
For teams and small meetings
The same tables that suit one person with a laptop suit a small team meeting over lunch. Seating is flexible enough to push together for a group of four to six without losing the quiet corner feel that makes the space workable for solo diners earlier in the day.
Our sister venues
Tara Rose, our sister bar in Murray Hill, runs its own weekday happy hour from 3pm to 7pm alongside all day brunch, a fit for anyone working from the East Side rather than Penn Station. The Red Lion on Bleecker Street is built for a different kind of midday, with live music and a soccer crowd rather than a quiet working table, better suited to an evening plan than a lunch break. If you are in the Upper West Side, you have to check out our American themed restaurant, perfect for a work lunch, the Ellington on Broadway. the Ellington on Broadway.
