Haven't been there yet but I'm told it's really great... They redid the deli section and have great food.
Now they repoened the former DaNali's and made a new kosher pizza shop
I was referring to the pizza shop. AFAIK the store is still called Hungarian.

I guess it depends on what you're comparing it to. It's a lot better than it used to be

I believe the only restaurant on Uber eats is EJs. Not sure if they'll go that far.

That's the way to go, and it will benefit the restaurant more. Uber Eats take a 30% cut on orders.

Depends what you are looking for. Price wise it's probably cheaper in NYC.

I'd probably go with the regency. Regency has a great bar/lounging area, is in a better location, and I believe the rooms are a bit bigger.
