PROFILE: Midtown Lunch’er “Cherice”
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 Cherice, a BBQ loving admin who wishes she lived in Raleigh.
Name:Cherice
Age: A lady never tells :)
Occupation: Assistant at a non-profit education organization
Where in Midtown do you work? West 30s/Herald Square
Favorite Kind of Food: Vietnamese, BBQ and Mexican
Least Favorite Kind of Food: Haven’t met any foods I’ve outright disliked
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Midtown: The brisket pho at Pho32 (on 32nd btw. B’way+5th), Prosciutto pizza from Waldy’s, brown butter and candied bacon ice cream from Coolhaus

If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? I’d love to work in Raleigh, NC. The BBQ is delish and there’s such a great atmosphere in that city.
Anything you’d like to ask the midtown lunch readers? Where can I get some decent BBQ around Midtown? The Southern girl in me is craving some authentic stuff.

For Southern BBQ, not much option in Midtown, but do check out Dallas BBQ, Virgil’s or Heartland’s Brewery (might not be Midtown prices though). How about Cantonese spare ribs? They’re not as saucey, but you get a better chance ot scoring good ones around Midtown (like Hing Won or Hop Won).
