Guys I really appreciate y’all still reading. Do you have any tips for places I should check out while I have your attention??
Also, I know you may scoff but I recently checked out Beyond Sushi (new sitdown location on 39th I think? it’s close to Penn/PATH area) and it was surprisingly good even vegetarian (vegan?). They should have their full liquor license now so it’s good for happy hours too!

Place screaming for a writeup is Great Northern in Grand Central Terminal … their hot dog place too, which is separate and around the corner.. could dedicate a whole week to all the offerings.
If that does not appeal there is also a new poke place on the one block in midtown left without one… 55 between 5/6 – Blue Ocean

- UrbanSpace food stalls opened on Broadway in the mid-30s last week.
- Gourmet mega-deli FRAME opened some time ago but never got any press on ML. They have a huge variety, very good food, and are very affordable, mostly in the ML range. The pork belly sandwich in particular is a standout.
- Mexicue has shrunk everything that was popular by half the size (burritos, enchiladas, etc.) and now suck. Dos Toros (2 doors down) are now the taco and burrito destination for west 40s.
- On a related note, Blue Maiz, a carbon copy of Dos Toros, opened on 8th avenue between 39th and 40th. Reviews among my co-workers are mixed to favorable.
- The Chop Steak truck has resurfaced on 40th street and (IMO) are one of the best deals in the city. for 9-10 dollars you get some excellent marinated steak (several choices), fries, rice, and steamed vegetables.

correction … mexicue always sucked
-
Indian Project (38th west) has introduced an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, remains one of the best deals in the city.

good to hear from you, JS. How are you doing with the health issues? The tour I’d want if I could ever find the cash and time for it would be of the RTM plus Johns Roast Pork

Is midtown lunch becoming a political blog?

No, and Fred, stop trying to make that happen.

sorry. the comment software forces you to leave completely unique comments each time, so if I ever merely write “FREAK OF THE WEEK” (my preferred line) as a comment on a given post, I can never use that exact text again.
AS such I am forced to come up with something a little different each week
The Trump comment was what I came up with this week.
I will try to use something less divisive next time, like maybe religion or reproductive rights……
