PROFILE: Midtown Lunch’er “Liz”
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 Liz, a dessert obsessed money person who loves eating outside.
Name: Liz
Age: 27
Occupation: “The Financial Services Sector”. It’s incredibly unrewarding for others to understand what I do for a living.
Where in Midtown do you Work?: Bryant Park
Favorite Kind of Food: Dessert; desserts posing as breakfast. I love that what’s ostensibly cake is a reasonable thing to eat at 7:30AM.
Least Favorite Kind of Food: “Salads” whose binding ingredient is mayonnaise. Come on.
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Midtown: Anyone who doesn’t respond “Margon‘s Cuban sandwich” (on 46th btw. 6+7th) to this question is a heretic who must be regarded with suspicion. The Cravings Truck, naturally.
“Go-To” Lunch Place You and Your Coworkers Eat at Too Often? Akdeniz. (on 46th btw. 5+6th) There’s no better gateway to an afternoon of hypoglycemic senselessness than those giant pillows of bread.
Place(s) you discovered thanks to Midtown Lunch? Hing Won. I order dinner there about once a week, because it’s delicious, and because they employ world-class city block sprinters that show up four – six minutes after I hang up the phone.
If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? I don’t think the variety and laity of New York City’s food industry can be beat. (Yeah huh.) I don’t find myself in SoHo often enough, but to have Cafe Habana at my fingertips would be cojito-cheese-sopped dream.
Is there anything you’d like to ask the Midtown Lunch readers? I can’t wait for Grace Plaza to reopen. What will you be bringing there to picnic?
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.

A dessert obsessed money person who loves eating outside? I LIKE MONEY too!
Also, Desserts of course.And eating outside = Picnic? Ok.
-
Cute and verbose, lol.

Word on the the street is that Liz in the back of the Craving Truck as it crashed into the school this week, yelling at the driver…
Member number three of the D.W.A. team

Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, unlikely to arise from consumption of giant pillows of bread. Hyperglycemia, maybe.
The “laity” of the NYC food industry can’t be beat? What is that supposed to mean, that the employees of Hing Won and Margon are unsurpassed?
-
Reactive hypoglycemia (the colloquial “food coma”) is the insulin dip that occasionally follows excessive glucose consumption. If you’ve not yourself experienced it, we should go to the Donut Plant downtown sometime.
And yes, my satiety and its gaiety salute the good men and women of Hing Won, Margon, and NYC food at large for their laity.

You talk funny

FREAK OF THE WEEK
(the “go to hell Steve, not everyone has a blog to push” edition)
-
For once i feel like that was undeserved
-
-
What do you get from Hing Won? I need to branch out. Lately it’s been Ma-Po Tofu, String beans with minced pork and salty fish and roast pork and duck.
-
get the roast pig.
-
Mm, I’m a fan of the pan-fried udon. That’d be #32. Dan Dan Noodles (S2) are pretty choice also.
-
-
Wow, I thought I was the only goon that used the word “choice” as an adjective. That’s some vocabulary for a person in finance.
-
zzzz
-
Wake up, you!!
-
-
Hing Won is my go to spot, touche
-
Mayo-bound salads are a noble tradition, but alas too often poorly executed
-
Execute one nobly sometime; serve. If I find the sample exemplary, you can expect a magnanimous retraction.

She does talk funny.
-
ask mkim1206 what she would bring to picnic. rumor is she likes to bring her own lunch to work to save money.
by the way mkim, is 12/06 your bday? -
I’m down to go on a date with Liz if she’s down. Just putting it out there.
-
Her discourse and repartee surely infers that Liz prefers a cunning linguist like moi
-
@Liz- what blog do you write for?
