It all started with Hing Won… one year ago this week
Tomorrow is the big day. It is the One Year Anniversary of Midtown Lunch. On June 7th, 2006, it all began, and the next day my first restaurant posting went up, about Hing Won on 48th btw. 5+6th. At the time, Hing Won was my favorite place for Chinese food in Midtown. Authentic Chinese food on the right, Steam Table “Chinese Food” on the left. The best of both worlds. Which means everyone in your office can enjoy it- from the guy who only eats Beef and Broccoli to the more adventurous eater, looking for an authentic Chinatown style lunch. Cheap, authentic, fresh, and delicious.
But more than the good food, Hing Won showed me there was a better way to Midtown Lunch. While other people I knew were eating crappy Chinese food (Manchu Wok, I’m looking at you), my wife had showed me a place that most people in Midtown would ignore (because of the crappy exterior), if they even noticed it at all. So with much excitement (I’m so busy looking for new places I don’t usually get to have lunch at some of my favorite old places), I returned to Hing Won- the place that one year ago was worthy of being the very first Midtown Lunch.
