Midtown Lunch

Goodbye, generic Midtown deli. Hello, Xi’an Famous Foods! This crowd favorite has been expanding well beyond Chinatown and college hoods, educating everyone on regional Xi’an cuisine. And just on the eve of their Greenpoint opening, a reader tips us off that lower Midtown is getting their own location soon on 34th st btw. Madison and 5th! Thank god, since the first midtown location has been crazy since it opened almost two years ago. No opening date posted yet, just some work permits in the window. We’ll let you know when doors officially open!

What better way to warm up during winter than some spicy cumin lamb? Now I really want to be in the wework office, just two doors down, those lucky bastards.

Xi’an Famous Foods, 14 E 34th St. (btw. Mad+5th)
