PROFILE: Midtown Lunch’er “Tiffany”
Every Tuesday we turn over the site to a different Midtown Lunch’er for his or her recommendations for the best lunch in Midtown. This week it’s Tiffany, a Tax Accountant who loves bread but hates mediocre food.
Name: Tiffany
Age: 25
Occupation: Tax accountant
Where in Midtown do you Work?: Madison & 42nd
Favorite Kind of Food: At the risk of getting tarred and feathered here on ML, I confess that my tastes veer towards the vegetarian side with some seafood. But, in any case, it’s dangerous when I’m near… 1. food I grew up with (Taiwanese and Mexican) – shaved ice & fried tofu! guac! 2. really good, fresh bread of any kind 3. unusual (but delicious sounding) flavor combos – like an incredible miso almond cookie I had recently
Least Favorite Kind of Food: Mediocre food makes me sad.
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Midtown: Soup from Devon & Blakely, pizza from Previti (on 41st btw. Lex+Park), falafel from Naya Express (on 3rd btw. 43+44th), halloumi sandwich from Macchiato Espresso Bar (on 44th btw. Lex+3rd)
“Go-To” Lunch Place You and Your Coworkers Eat at Too Often? Pret a Manger, Devon & Blakely – what can I say, we’re lazy
Place(s) you discovered thanks to Midtown Lunch? Oh, damn…I’ve been following ML so long that it’s kind of hard to remember. Definitely Naya Express and Previti Pizza. Oh! And the Pakistani Tea House downtown for when I had jury duty. The triple veggie combo with naan was freakin’ awesome.
If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? Any marketplace with a huge variety of fresh food. Shaded seating and a view wouldn’t hurt either. Off the top of my head, I could go for working near street food carts in Taiwan (noodles, buns, tofu on a stick!) or the Ferry Market Building in San Fran (cheese, sourdough bread, fresh oysters, affogato, Mexican food!).
Is there anything you’d like to ask the Midtown Lunch readers? Any other picky veggie eaters out there? I can’t believe I’ve been out here so long and still haven’t met anyone with eating habits similar to mine.
As always, if you want to be next week’s Profiled: Midtown Lunch’er (or know somebody you’d like to nominate), email editor@midtownlunch.com.

Thanks for the show of solidarity!

mediocre food is my favorite kind of food!
-
Aren’t all veggie eaters picky?
-
Yeah, you’re probably right. But some more so than others.
-
-
the falafel at Naya Express tastes like deep fried cardboard. Walk over to Olympic Pita for some real falafel.
-
I’ve tried Olympic Pita. Also tasty but too gut-busting for me. How can you not love the pickled goodness at Naya?

very cute..and I’m with you on Previti, best pizza in the area

Hi Tiffany,
I lean vegetarian, my mainstay is Minar Indian, great veggie combo with whole wheat naan for $7.50.
I go to the one on 31st, there’s also one on 46th b/w 6th & 7th.
If anyone has any other good suggestions, appreciate it.-
Although I’m a total carnivore, I really like the vegetarian combo at Kalustyan’s on Lex/28th (2nd floor). 2 veggie dishes, salad, pickles and pita for 8 bucks.

Hey dahkter and sandra,
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll have to stop by sometime. Honestly though, I’m still yearning for Pakistani Tea House’s veggie combo.

I’m a vegetarian and my go to meal is often hummus Israeli salad and whole wheat pita for dipping.

FREAK OF THE WEEK
(the just-for-Pigiron edition)

Thanks! I’ll take that as a compliment.

They’re a bit far from you, have you been to the Korean carts on 49th between 6th and 7th? One serves dishes over rice and the other soups. I’ve been loving this soup from there that’s basically Korean ramen with buckwheat noodles and shrimp. I got it today with the additional toppings of fish cakes and kim chi. Delicious.
-
Aw, man…so far… Maybe one day when I happen to be over there.
