Yesterday I noticed a brand new awning for China 59 on what was more recently Hana on Nassau St. (btw. Maiden Lane & John). A look at the Chinese and Thai menus shows they haven’t really changed much except the name, and you can get all of the usual suspects in a lunch special for $8 or $9 which is at the higher end of what I consider an acceptable amount to pay for pad thai/sesame chicken/beef teriyaki. I’m always wary of places that serve more than one type of food, but I guess it’s one stop shopping for the indecisive eater.

It seems like we’ve been having a lot of coffee shops open in the Financial District lately with Blue Spoon Coffee Co. popping up last week and now R&R Coffee has appeared in the space that used to house Country Kebab at Fulton & Gold streets. I walked into R&R during lunchtime Monday but it appeared they’re only serving coffee right now as there was no food to be seen, but one would imagine they’ll have the usual breakfast pastries and maybe some sandwiches and soup. It’s nice to see something other than fast food open on this touristy strip of Fulton, and if you’ve checked it out weigh in in the comments!

You know how sometimes you wander out of the office to grab lunch without a game plan? I call these “random lunches” where I just end up getting food at a place that I’ve always wondered about but never had a reason to enter. Da Vinci Pizza is one of those places and based solely on its weathered exterior awning you know it’s either going to be a great NYC slice or a lunch you’ll later regret. After walking in on a hot and humid day, I was faced with a huge selection of slices, no line, and a trio of men waiting for me to make up my damn mind about what I wanted. After spotting a tasty looking square pie in the corner I decided an upside down slice was going to be lunch.
