  • I ain’t gonna lie,the beef udon soup @ Cranberry cafe is great for 7 bucks (It’s $6.50 + tax = $7.08).

    I’ll also nominate Park Italian Gourmet for sandwiches.

  • Just had some Park, my go to. They raised their prices. Granted only 50 cents across the board but I add extras, might make me consider alternatives.

  • I’m sure most of my favorites get nominated by default, so:

    Gobuki cart: Korean, the kalbi and bulgogi sandwiches are full of flavor and a real bargain, and the over-rice options aren’t too shabby either.

    Mexican: Eggs Travaganza and Tacos y Quesadillas (I’d bet these were going to make the list anyway, but hey). I love Eggs’ chorizo, especially in burrito form, but I haven’t found a match to the T&Q torta in midtown. Plus, lengua, too.

    • i always seem to forget Gobuki…and its right outside. Sandwiches are great, especially for the price. Though it does leave me a little hungry later one. but hey, for $5-$6, I really can’t complain.

  • I second Park. Also can’t stop myself from going to El Rey Del Sabor and Karam is my healthier option. I would have written Yagura in here if it was still open.

    My coworkers and I are huge fans of Naya Express on 3rd Avenue between 43rd St. & 44th St. — let’s throw that into the mix.

    I nominate Karam and Dishes (even though it is tough to stay under $10 there). I’ll also nominate Tri Tip Grill.

    Loving Glaze Teriyaki Grill at 53rd and Lexington! Affordable and fresh off the grill every time :)

  • I’ll nominate Tabata Ramen. I’m there once a week. Usually a Tan Tan Men, Sutamina, Black Ramen rotation.

  • My personal bias shines through here but Soup Stop is as good as it gets, period.

    My all time fave spot is Desi Galli on Lexington…!! AMAZING indian fast food..!!

    • Midtown, not Flatiron. When the site expands to make a full-fledged Flatiron Lunch tab, maybe then you can vote them in.

    I’m new to midtown east. Previti Pizza on 41st and Lex. Has the best pizza in midtown. I know pizza I’m from Brooklyn.

    I would give Naya express a big five, chicken shawarma classic on white pita. Omg!! I do it twice a week

  • I nominate magdy’s for cart, their philly cheesesteak and lamb combination rice platter is the best and most filling meal I have had.

    Salumeria Biellese. Hot sandwich specials change daily. And they do a GREAT salami egg and cheese for breakfast for the same price as your random bodega.
