Cafe Metro!?! Say it Ain’t So Ne-Yo
The best food within walking distance of The London?
Grub Street interviewed the singer Ne-Yo last week and discovered that his favorite place to eat in New York is the Cafe Metro around the corner from The London (on 54th & 7th Ave.) Really? Come on! I was thinking maybe they did something special… but nope. In fact, it’s one of the smaller ones. But Ne-Yo swears by their “low-carb wheat pasta” adding “I’m not difficult to please.” Clearly.
Looking at the Midtown Lunch Restaurant Map, there does appear to a black hole of nothingness in the area directly around the London- but there is that new daytime location of the Famous Halal Guys street meat cart on the SW corner of 53rd & 7th.

Ahhh, not this Metro! But it’s true there is absolutely nothing to eat within 2 blocks of this area (possibly more).

…and it’s spelled Ne-Yo, not Nee-Yo.

Damnit… all that hip hop cred I’ve spent years building up- down the drain!

c’mon, i think he can afford Carnegie Deli – does he too have to do the under$10?

The Jamaican Dutchy cart is just 3 blocks down 7th….

His breakout hit was titled ‘So Sick’, and his favorite place to eat is Cafe Metro. Coincidence?

I’m also a big fan of the street meat cart on the East side of Broadway between 53rd and 54th, which I totally can’t remember the name of right now even though I ate there today.

Wow?? Cafe Metro. Does he have low self esteem or something? We should send him the link to Midtown Lunch so he can get a clue
There’s also a couple of decent pubs over there and a Ray’s Pizza. ANYTHING but Cafe Metro Nee-yo!
