Remember when Kati Roll was the only place in midtown that served kati rolls. When they moved from 46th street to 39th street, the Biryani Cart jumped in and served their own version of the Indian burrito. (And we all know how that turned out.) They were followed by Indus Express’ naan wraps (on 48th [...]

It’s been a while since I buffeted it up at lunchtime in Midtown. When I first started this blog, there were quite a few buffets that fell under the Midtown Lunch price range.

The West Tandoori Club (on 37th btw. 7+8th), which closed for renovations over a month ago, has re-opened as Touch of India. Gone is the dingy atmosphere, and take out counter in the back- replaced with a nice (but by no means well designed) atmosphere that is typical of these kinds of Midtown restaurants. Thankfully they still offer [...]

The rennovation of the 47th St. Japanese Convenience Store between Lexington & 3rd continues on, and I got this look inside. It’s hard to make out exactly what is going to happen to this place, but as long as they keep all the bentos and fun stuff they used to serve (at fairly low prices) it should be good. [...]

So, about three weeks ago I took Benji Lanyado, a Travel writer for the Guardian UK, to El Sabroso, the latin lunch counter hidden inside a freight elevator hallway on 37th St. btw. 7+8th. He told me he was interested in writing about Midtown Lunch for his “Meet the Bloggers” series, and wanted to check out one of [...]

Hidden gems are possibly my favorite part of Midtown Lunch’ing. There are varying degrees of hidden of course. The Burger Joint in the Parker Meridien is always referred to as a hidden gem, but who doesn’t know about that place? Then there are the ones on 47th St. that you could have the street addresses for and still [...]
