PROFILE: Midtown Lunch’er “Maisey” PLUS Rock of Ages Tix Giveaway
Every Tuesday I turn over the site to a different Midtown Lunch’er for his or her recommendations for the best lunch in Midtown. I grew up on cheesy 80s hair metal, so I’m pretty excited for this week’s Profiled Lunch’er. Meet Maisey, part of the cast of Broadway’s “Rock of Ages”. She likes Asian food, savory crepes, and she’s got 3 pairs of tickets to Rock of Ages to give away at the end of the profile…
Name: Maisey
Age: Old enough…
Occupation: Performer-Actress/Singer —currently playing “Justice” in ROCK OF AGES
Where in Midtown do you Work?: Brooks Atkinson Theatre (on 47th btw. B’way+8th)
Favorite Kind of Food: Asian- Chinese/Japanese/Thai
Least Favorite Kind of Food: I’m really allergic to Shrimps
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Midtown: For sushi I like Aoki (on 48th btw. B’way+8th). I always sit in front of the waterfall wall and have the spicy trio-tuna, yellowtail & salmon tartar with caviar and a quail egg. Fabulous!! Room Service a glam/chic but very affordable Thai Restaurant on 9th and 48th is awesome too- I always order the pad see-eu with Duck and their insane pumpkin flan dessert… warm and yummy with a kiss of coconut!!
“Go-To” Lunch Place You and Your Coworkers Eat at Too Often? The Thalia Kitchen on 50th just East of 8th has the best soup ever… very exotic sometimes
If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? Back to Malaysia-they served sate on grills in the street all night-chicken, beef, rabbit, goat, lamb the list was endless and it was soooo good!!!
Is there anything you’d like to ask the Midtown Lunch readers? Is there a place near my theatre (47th and Broadway) I can get a good savory crepe???
Funny you should mention crepes… the best crepes in Midtown are made by this French lady named Madeleine inside the Cyber Cafe on 49th btw. 7+8th. That’s about as close to your theater as you can get!
As for the tickets… got a suggestion near the theater for Maisey? It doesn’t have to be crepes… it could be for anything close to the theater. Put it in the comments and you’ll be entered to win a pair of tickets to see Rock of Ages on Broadway. Winners will be drawn at random, on Friday at Noon. Good luck!
And as always if you’d like to be next week’s Profiled: Midtown Lunch’er (or know somebody you’d like to nominate), email me at zach@midtownlunch.com.

zach mentioned the only crepe place i know about
-
I’d like to hear more about Room Service, I’ve walked by it a few times but also assumed it’d be overpriced-gimmicky thai. Looking at the menu it actually seems pretty well-priced. Is the food any good?
Minar is pretty close to the theater and they have dosas. Not quite a savory crepe, but maybe it’ll do the trick. 46th btw 7th and 6th ave.
-
Room Service actually has an interesting crepe-like version of pad thai. It’s pad thai in a think egg crepe-like wrap.
-
I like to mix it up with Breeze on 9th, sort of a french/thai mix.
-
room service is surprisingly good but chili thai on 49th and 9th is better
-
Ohh tickets. Awesome but no clue on crepes place in theatre district though.
Hooray for her love of Asian foods!
-
Get your Thai fix at Pam Real Thai or Chili Thai, you won’t be disappointed, and you will spend less then $20!
-
I am with Streetmeas on this, but I’d love to win the tickets… :-)
-
Tehuitzingo. Out of bounds but close to the theater
-
FREAK OF THE WEEK!
-
Room service is good…but their pad ke mao is complete garbage.
pad ke mao > pad thai
-
Just buy a bloody ticket you cheap fuckers!
-
I am not cheap. I am careful with money
-
Glass House Tavern might be a good experience for you, and close by the theater.
-
KATI ROLLS > Crepes! Briyani Cart @ 46th and 6th!!!
I will now have to try all these thai places she recommended. I always feel there isn’t any decent thai places around here. -
Sushiden on 49th and 6th never disappoints!
Trattoria Trecolori right next door to the theater has been a pleasant Italian experience before showtime.
-
La Rosita Grocery & Taqueria in Manhattan’s Hells Kitchen has great tacos and sopes. Cheap and delicious. Check it out!
-
If I worked near you, I’d get really fat on the baked goods at Poseidon Bakery (9th Ave between 44th & 45th). The best.
-
There is a great cart that is usually on 53rd between 5th and 6th- right by the moma store. Know it’s a little “far” but they have a ton on crepes there.
go out of ML boundaries and hit up pam’s real thai. it’s maybe two avenue blocks from the theatre
