PROFILE: Midtown Lunch’er “Nicholas”
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 Nicholas, a former Midtown Lunch’er with some good recs for those he left behind on the west side.
Name: Nicholas
Age: 23
Occupation: Usher at the Angelika Film Center
Where in Midtown do you Work?: Now downtown, but used to be in Midtown back when I had a “real” film job over on 45th between 9th and 10th
Favorite Kind of Food: Indian Lunch Buffet, Bubble Tea!
Least Favorite Kind of Food: Sushi (sorry, bros)
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Midtown: Chicken “Taco” w/Mixed Vegetables from Good N’ Plenty to Go (Crazy good take-out run by two elderly theater-loving gay men and their all Latino crew on 43rd bet. 9th and 10th.) Cream of Tomato w/Chicken+Orzo Soup w/ Small Baby Spinach/Sundried Tomatoes Salad combo from Hale+Hearty Soups. Chicken Bulgur Wheat Platter w/ Tsatziki, Garlic Sauce, Tahini and Hot Sauce from Meze Grill (on 8th Ave. btw. 55+56th). Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/Mixed Greens, Red Pepper Sauce, Fries from Chicken Bar (guilty pleasure on 8th Ave. btw. 45+46th)
“Go-To” Lunch Place You and Your Coworkers Eat at Too Often? Good N’ Plenty to Go! Those dudes know me the second I walk in.
Place(s) you discovered thanks to Midtown Lunch? Taim Mobile! Thanks for the scoop.
If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? New York, duh! You can get EVERYTHING here.
Anything you’d like to ask the Midtown Lunch readers? Do you really like Ma Peche that much? I’m really over David Chang.
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.

FREAK OF THE WEEK
(The ‘its good Zach is over David Chang, since there’s that whole 3000 miles of distance issue to consider’ edition)
-
OK, ashamed to watch last night, but is this “Bethenny’s foodie friend Nick” from Bethenny Ever After (http://www.bravotv.com/NODE/82973)?
-
Yes he looks like the same Nick from yesterday’s episode.
-
bionicgrrl the detectress!!! nice!
-
was just going to post the same thing. Coincidence?
-
AHHHH! I just asked my friends the same thing!!! ahahahahaahahaha
-
-
or seth rogen’s younger bro
-
was thinking the same thing, is it him?
-
Niiiiiick!!! http://www.bravotv.com/NODE/82973

OK this is getting ridiculous. Every week it’s somebody new who doesn’t work in midtown or has incredibly pedestrian lunch tastes or, like this week, both. Can we get back to the basics here, Zach? Enough expanding, enough foodie celebs, enough sneak previews from PR folks — just find me the best interesting food in MIDTOWN MANHATTAN and the people who eat it.
I mean come on this guy’s favorite foods are something-confusingly-sexual-orientation-related, hale/hearty, meze (basically chipotle) and RANCH FRICKIN 1.
The prosecution rests.

Nobody wants to do it…duh.
-
-
ha ha, this place is like being a stripper seeking evaluation on the Howard Stern show.
-
That mug is a prime candidate for my avatar.

Ha! You’re just looking for an excuse to post your favorite ‘mug’? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

This guy doesn’t like sushi. Apology not accepted!
-
and now we see the violence inherent in the system….he’s being repressed
at least he’s got a cool shirt on you dopes
-
Nick is a brilliant guy. You have to peel his layers like an onion and inside there’s a warm kind, genius young man. I think he’s got Asperger’s, Spare ignorant insults, please.

Does this Nicholas have his own blog? Website? He should I’d love to see what he has to say on the regular. Any info other then “Nick”
Don’t call me “Bro”, dude.
