PROFILE: Midtown Lunch’er “Monique”
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 Monique, an admin who hates mushrooms but loves food trucks.
Name: Monique
Age: 26
Occupation: Admin Assistant by day, Food blogger by night
Where in Midtown do you Work?: My office is right across the street from Bryant Park.
Favorite Kind of Food: I love bacon. I mean, I love fruits and veggies….but I really love bacon. And dumplings.
Least Favorite Kind of Food: MUSHROOM ANYTHING
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Midtown: I’m a big food truck hound. I love Rickshaw, Wafels and Dinges, Schnitzel and Things, Big D’s Grub Truck…the list gets long. When I have the time and can splurge: SHAKE SHACK (on 44th & 8th). AHH, and I almost forgot Chef Samir’s Comme Ci Comme Ca truck!! The food is RIDICULOUS and I always forget to give these guys love. They’re getting pushed out of their 38th and Bway spot…so don’t forget to check these dudes out.
“Go-To” Lunch Place You and Your Coworkers Eat at Too Often? Pronto Pizza on 41st! Extremely friendly staff, tasty pizza and pasta too. It’s right downstairs from our office, so if you can’t make it far away for lunch, it’s easy.
Place(s) you discovered thanks to Midtown Lunch? Souvlaki GR’s storefront!! Amazing Greek food.
If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? Wow…that’s a hard question (and I feel that my list of places and reasons will take FOREVER). Honestly, I like right where I am. I’m lucky enough to have a lot of places to eat thanks for the food trucks/carts/vendors in my area. The food scene can get very expensive and boring in Midtown at times since I’m right next to Times Square and Grand Central. I’m really glad for the variety….but when I can, I do bring stuff from home. I live in QUEENS and I’m Jamaican…so good food is always around.
Anything you’d like to ask the Midtown Lunch readers? Where’s your favorite spot to actually EAT your lunch outside? I really like the little plaza bet 45-46th and 6th ave (live music!) and the seating area next to Aureole restaurant and the Sondheim theater. It’s nice and quiet.
Anybody have an answer for Monique? Put it in the comments. And, 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.

Did anyone ever click away from a blog after reading nothing but the title? I just did.

FREAK OF THE WEEK
The “Hey Wayne….there’s a link……c’mon, click it! Don’t be a baby, just click the darn thing and get it over with!” edition
-
Does anyone ever tell you commenters that you’re assholes? If you’re so fucking fantastic what the hell are you doing commenting on this blog?
-
Did anyone ever tell you that you are a douche?
-
all the time.
-
I shit criticism, I cannot help it.
-
I’m just glad we have assholes…unlike the underpriveleged such as Tang.
-
Yes, people often create new ID’s on public blogs in order to call total strangers “assholes” anonymously. It happens all the time. Asshole.
-
Welcome to CostCo. I love you.
-
-
I think Tangents would be an excellent name for a gay bar.
-
-
Yeah, that was a clever comeback. Do you guys read? She likes more than Rickshaw, it just happened to be the first one listed. Maybe it was the easiest to remember. Jesus, it’s just tasty nourishment. The fuck bougie food is your favorite?
-
why aren’t you using your “eattheworld” login anymore?
-
The fact that you cannot find the ‘reply’ link shows your intelligence.
-
-
Tasty nourishment should NEVER be in the same sentence as Rikshaw. ugh… But she does make up for it with Schnitz and Big D’s…..
-
Awesome blog! Love the recipes on Eatinist Bitch.
-
I agree. I really like her blog.
-
-
Why do people even bother submitting for these profiles? I mean it’s like asking for a roast by complete strangers who aren’t terribly funny.
I can see why they are always begging for people to be profiled on twitter.-
Because after 5 years you don’t run out of people who want to do it?
-
True, I suppose if people keep volunteering then it’s what they want. Anyway who (besides me) really reads comments anymore. Youtube sort of ruined that for everyone.

-
It’s punishment for trying to get people to read your shitty blog.
-
-
how many of the comments are from the same IP address? hmmmm
-
surprise!

Either only food bloggers are brave enough to be profiled here, just so they can promote their blog for free….
