I second the banh mi in Chinatown, and also c.c. cookies at Levain (cookies are lunch). Can do either in about an hour from 34th st with serious, brisk walking.

The key is multiple train lines servicing your route. If you are reliant on one train, you could be waiting 10-15 minutes both coming and going, because it’s midday train wait times. The B/D suggestions above are good.

Rock center to west 4th street for Mamoun’s falafel. Can eat it while watching the ballers or bring it right back.

1 stop from herald square to bleecker street on the b/d or 15 minutes from murray hill to soho on the 6 – definitely faster than some walks

@ Shuana – Nicky’s Vietnamese has the worst banh mi in all of the tri-state area. Not only is it too expensive, they don’t use quality ingredients and they take too long to make their 4 inch crapwichs. You should try the place inside the jewelry store, their banh mi are AMAZING!
