Midtown Lunch

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 Casey who has thus far not gotten any lunch recs from this site (sad!), but at least discovered the deals at Peep.

Name: Casey

Title: Associate Director – Fashion + Beauty Practice

Where you work: Varick & Vandam

Age: 26

Favorite kinds of food: Indian, sushi, Korean

Least favorite foods: Ethiopian

Favorite lunches downtown: Peep on Prince (btw. Thompson & Sullivan) for their lunch special which has great basil noodles

The “go-to” lunch place you and your co-workers eat at too often: Pret a Manger (Multiple Locations), Hale & Hearty (Multiple Locations), and the local deli.

Places downtown you discovered thanks to Midtown Lunch: Downtown? [Ed. note: Casey unfortunately said she hasn’t made any discoveries from this site! Clearly I must get up to that area of Soho more often].

Dream job location, purely for lunch purposes, and why: Financial District – There are great food trucks.

Anything you’d like to ask the Midtown Lunch: Downtown readers? How do you select your restaurants?

First I think about what kind of food I want to eat, and if I’m feeling lazy, what’s in a two block radius that serves it. Then I look up the menu which is sometimes a deal breaker for me. How do you guys choose where you eat lunch? And as always, if you would like to be next week’s Profiled Lunch’er (or know somebody you’d like to nominate), email us at downtown@midtownlunch.com.
