PROFILE: Downtown Lunch’er “Sarah”

As is customary here on Midtown Lunch, every Tuesday we’ll profile a different lunch’er and get their recommendations for places to eat in Downtown NYC. This week, we have Sarah who works in Tribeca and shuns Subway (as she should).

Name: Sarah K.

Occupation: Event/marketing coordinator for a non-profit

Where you work: Church & Worth streets

Age: 30

Favorite kinds of food: Mexican, BBQ, healthy

Least favorite foods: Chinese, cold cut sandwiches

Favorite lunches downtown: Kale salad at Birdbath Bakery on Church St. (at Thomas); spicy falafel wrap from Baba Ghanouge on Church (btw. Reade & Chambers); tofu banh mi from Mangez Avec Moi Express on W. Broadway (btw. Murray & Warren); pernil platter with rice and beans from Sophie’s Cuban (Multiple Locations).

The “go-to” lunch place you and your co-workers eat at too often: I recently found the strength to permanently move on from Subway after one too many gross five-dollar foot longs. Why do all their sandwiches smell the same no matter what meat is in them?? So gross.

Places downtown you discovered thanks to Midtown Lunch: Downtown? My most recent favorite was the Eddie’s Pizza cart that sets up on Greenwich & Duane in Tribeca five days a week. Their $10 lunch special was an awesome deal for a huge, delicious eggplant parmesan hero, house salad, and soda.

Pickings A Little Slim On The Twitter Tracker: Today's ML Downtown Twitter Tracker has Sweetery and Kimchi Tacos on Hudson, Cupcake Stop on Water and La Cense is on Wall. And Souvlaki GR is in its "usual spot" at Old Slip. Apparently the Pico de Gap truck is still roaming the streets, and is on Varick today.

Frites N Meats’ Maker’s Mark Kobe Burger Might Get You Drunk

I’m not usually one to have a liquid lunch unless you count milkshakes, so when I kept seeing Twitter posts from Frites N Meats about their Kobe beef burger doused in Maker’s Mark I was not particularly intrigued. But then a burger craving hit, the truck was downtown, and I figured it was time to taste some high-quality meat steeped in booze while sitting on a park bench. Was this a better vehicle for a lunchtime drink than a flask? Click through to find out.
