Midtown Lunch

If the thought of paying $10 for a sandwich and some chips pains you, then avert your eyes because Fresh Salt is not for you. The restaurant is on Beekman (btw. Front & South), part of a cluster of eateries at the South St. Seaport. While I was under the impression that it was a grab and go-type lunch place, it’s more of a sit down affair unless you want to get your food to go.  Several of you profiled lunch’ers have recommended this place but it’s just far enough off the beaten path that I tend to forget about it. The good news is the food is good – but you’re probably going to pay more than you’d like for the privelege of dining among cobblestones. Read more »

It’s Friday and that means it’s OK to stuff your face with Mexican food, right? In honor of National Guacamole Day, Toloache Taqueria on Maiden Lane (btw. William & Gold) is selling guacamole and chips for $2 (although they don’t specify if this is a large or small size). If they still have the $6 burrito Fridays going, this could make for a cheap lunch deal.
