Midtown Snapshots: Some Tourists Are Smart!

I know my bashing of tourists is wrong (after all, we are all tourists whenever we go somewhere else) but sorry I can’t help it. It comes from working across the street from Rockefeller Center for 3 years, and being forced to walk through Times Square every single night to get home. But yesterday, I [...]

Midtown Snapshots: Sam’s House Cafe is Selling Your Dong

Sorry, my still-stuck-in-junior-high sense of humor couldn’t resist posting this one… this sign at Sam’s House Cafe (formerly Bagelfeller on 48th btw. 5+6th) made me laugh out loud yesterday. Is that so wrong? (Apparently this is technically not a mis-spelling either.)

Snapshots: Roast Duck, Indian, Korean & Dessert

A lot of good looking snapshots have been posted to the ML Flickr Photo Pool lately. Feel free to use them for a little lunchtime inspiration today…

Midtown Snapshots: Jamba Juice Is Not The Best Hiding Place For a Giant Banana

I tried to get my friend to buy a shake from one of the Vietnamese fruit carts, but he wanted Jamba Juice. I can’t really mad though, because I got to see this guy. Taken inside the Jamba Juice on Broadway btw. 46+47th.

Midtown Snapshots: Sign of the Times

This pretty much sums up Midtown 2008 to a T. Locally owned ice cream place (Blue Pig) gets replaced by a Subway; longest lunch line in the city is for 99 Cent pizza. 43rd Street btw. Lex+3rd

Pop Burgers from Pop Burger (on 58th btw. Madison & 5th). The perfect lunch for when you’re waiting around for a lady selling Indian food on 58th and 5th who never [...]

Snapshots: For Those About to Chaat…

For people who are used to chicken tikka masala, biriyani and tandoori, ordering “chaat” (the word used to describe small plates of snacks) can be a little more confusing.  To make ordering it a little less intimidating, check out these photos The Flooz (who blogs about Astoria on Joey in Astoria) posted to the Midtown Lunch Flickr Pool, from Indus Express, the [...]

Snapshots: Bento, Berlin & (of course) Chinese Food

What’s that smell? (Co-worker lunches from the past few weeks)

Not surprisingly I have become the lunchtime stalker in my office.  Between Noon and 3pm, if you’re eating something and that smell is wafting between the cubicles, you can count on me to be there.  “What’s that smell?  What are you eating?  Where did you get that?” 
I’m sure there is one of these people in [...]
