PROFILE: Midtown Lunch’er “Rose”
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 Rose, a legal recruiter who doesn’t like pub food but would be very happy at a all you can eat pasta buffet.
Name: Rose
Age: 38
Occupation: Legal Recruiting
Where in Midtown do you work? Law firm at 55th and 3rd.

If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? Rome. Since this is a fantasy, I would eat a great bowl of pasta every day and never get fat.
Anything you’d like to ask the midtown lunch readers? What’s the maximum number of blocks you are willing to walk for a good lunch.

Since there’s a big difference between Ave & Street blocks, my max is all about time – which is 10 min each way. Typically my max is walking to Trini Paki from my office on 53&6.
@Zach, you called her Alisha in the last line.
