Even though our city provides some of the best cuisine in the world, it can be just as thrilling to stick around your premises and experience some top notch food and beverage. This can easily be said about the restaurant called T45, which is located inside the beautiful Hyatt Centric Times Square. [Read more…] about Delicious Cuisine at Hyatt Centric Times Square’s T45
