Comments on: Baguette Express Brings Their Kosher Brooklyn Falafel Stand to Midtown http://midtownlunch.com/2009/05/27/baguette-express-brings-their-kosher-brooklyn-falafel-stand-to-midtown/ Finding Lunch in New York City's Midtown Manhattan Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:31:29 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: RebeccaLunch http://midtownlunch.com/2009/05/27/baguette-express-brings-their-kosher-brooklyn-falafel-stand-to-midtown/comment-page-1/#comment-220228 RebeccaLunch Mon, 10 Aug 2009 15:42:37 +0000 http://midtownlunch.com/?p=6311#comment-220228 I was really in the mood for something meat or chicken-y for lunch the other day so I made plans to meet my friend Emily. We decided to check out Baguette Express, a relatively new sandwich place on 37th between 5th and 6th. The place is a tiny hole in the wall with no seating. You walk in and there is a counter in front of you with a brief and basic menu hanging above it. They do sandwiches. That's it. You pick your meat (or schnitzel or falafel), you pick your bread (looked like baguettes, whole wheat baguettes, and pita), you pick some salad toppings (of the Israeli variety - including grilled eggplant, fried onions, Israeli salad, olives, Israeli pickles etc) and some sauces / dressings, and then you take your sandwich and go. Emily ordered falafel in a pita. I had schnitzel on a whole wheat baguette (like that makes it healthy) with hummus, pickles, fried onions and BBQ sauce. We took our lunches out to Broadway and sat on the benches on the new pedestrian walkway. My sandwich was tasty. The BBQ sauce added a particularly good flavor. Of course, this was no Chickies (in Teanec), but for a local lunchtime chicken sandwich, pretty good. I would go back. http://whatrebeccaateforlunchtoday.blogspot.com/2009/08/day-61-another-new-ish-option-for.html I was really in the mood for something meat or chicken-y for lunch the other day so I made plans to meet my friend Emily.

I may drop by there for the Schnitzel once, but I'm likely to stick with Pick-a-Pita and Kosher Deluxe. No Schwarma?

Eh, I'm more of a kebab man myself.

The best falafels I've had were bright green on the inside due to all the fresh herbs. What was the color of the falafal ball’s inside?
