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 Denise, a publicist who would appreciate it if you didn’t tell anybody about Gourmet 53.
Name: Denise
Age: 33
Occupation: Beauty & Lifestyle Publicist
Where in Midtown do you Work?: 54th & 3rd
Favorite Kind of Food: No discrimination here. I will eat basically any kind of food, but have a predisposition for Mexican. I probably eat street meat much more frequently than I should.
Least Favorite Kind of Food: My family is Spanish and they are really into morcilla and tripe dishes, which I just can’t do. With the tripe it’s more about the spongy texture that turns me off.
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Midtown: I’ll walk over to Mexicue when they are in the area and I’m also really into the Merguez sausage & couscous dishes that Comme Ci Comme Ca does and the guys there are really friendly. If it’s a business lunch, BLT Steak is close by and their giant tower of salty onion rings always seems to call my name from afar. I also can’t turn down a classic veal Milanese, which Casa Lever does nicely.
