PROFILE: Midtown Lunch’er “Sarina”
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 Sarina, a lover of all things pork (and Alex Trebek.)
Name:Sarina
Age: 32
Occupation: Marketing Technology Coordinator & Blogger at ihrtporkfat.com
Where in Midtown do you work? 37th and Broadway
Favorite Kind of Food: Anything with French or Asian influence. I also have an unhealthy obsession with anything beginning or ending with pork.
Least Favorite Kind of Food: Salads in general; you don’t make friends with salad.
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Midtown: Danji (on 52nd btw. 8+9th) because Hooni is a rock star! Those bulgogi sliders are heavenly. Totto Ramen (on 52nd btw. 8+9th) for some chicken paitan ramen; Tacos y Quesadillas (on 53rd btw. B’way+7th) for some kick ass al pastor, tacos. Alan’s Deli for my regular….roasted turkey breast with mayo, lettuce on whole wheat, Shake Shack (duh), Qi – I love Pichet Ong & Num Pang – the pork belly sandwich is bombdiggity. For more high end, I love the Bar Room at The Modern, Ma Peche and db Bistro Moderne. For bistro fare, I love Benoit. I spotted Alex Trebek there once!
“Go-To” Lunch Place You and Your Coworkers Eat at Too Often? Potbelly and Haru Sushi
Places you have discovered thanks to Midtown Lunch? No 7 sub – delicious subs!
If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? Paris! I want to be within an arm’s reach of fresh crepes & croissants all day every day!
Anything you’d like to ask the midtown lunch readers? Where can I find Cambodian food in NYC?
Did you read about the Cambodian Cuisine Torsu Truck that just started parking in the Flatiron? That might be a good place to start. Got another suggestionfor Sarina? Put it in the comments.

You had me with the Simpsons reference. But then you lost me with “bombdiggity”.
Also, you seem to travel pretty far for lunch, especially considering the wealth of options between your workplace and the west 50s. Any particular reason?

Sarina used to be Sam before the operation?

Cambodian Cuisine Torsu has been on 21st and 5th lately http://midtownlunch.com/2012/07/20/flatiron-lunch-cambodian-cuisine-torsu-truck-hits-flatiron/

I recommend this truck. SO far, everything I’ve had from it has been good! (Most dishes have a tofu or chicken option, both are tasty.)

TyQ al pastor is not REAL al pastor!!!!!!!!! ugh. It’s just cubed pieces of pork in a mexican bbq sauce. FAIL.
See my profile pic…THAT is al pastor. It’s cooked on a spit like gyro.
Also…Haru is a regular spot? That’s fancy pants.

Just wanted to chime in and say, “Fuck salad.”
No one wants to eat a salad. Salad is just to make you feel good about yourself. It’s merely a method to get ranch dressing into your mouth without feeling bad about it.

Num Pang is a Cambodian sandwich shop on 41st and Lexington/3rd. I’ve never been but heard it’s very good!
37th and B’way, liking French influence, and not a single mention of Comme Ci Comme Ca? D:
