Send them over in traunches (more then 2 but less than 6 at a shot), please. Send the ambulance on the third day (I hope they have good health coverage). </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thanksapologies-from-a-future-visitor/page/3#post-4623 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:50:54 -0500 ESNY 4623@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>@stevenp - I'm better than everyone else, hence the sole recommendation for the combo. Even though the lamb is stellar there, I like the use of chicken thighs enough to recommend it. Also a nice textural change from the lamb. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thanksapologies-from-a-future-visitor/page/3#post-4621 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:45:25 -0500 stevenp 4621@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>ESNY: The straight-up lamb is better than the lamb/chicken combo. Kwik Meal is all about the lamb. No one else recommended the chicken/lamb combo.</p> <p>alli: Only visited NO a few times, but yeah, Central Grocery is for the muffalettas (didn't they originate there? The olive relish is perfect!) and I have had an amazing fried oyster po boy at Acme. There's a Mardi Gras in my impending future (and maybe a visit or 2 besides that)--a friend just bought a condo there. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thanksapologies-from-a-future-visitor/page/3#post-4620 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:22:55 -0500 allicat1214 4620@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Goats: For Mufalettas, I'd say Central Grocery on Decateur a few blocks from the Cathedral. Serios is good for po-boys and hot lunch specials, but Central is known for mufalettas. And as far as Acme, I'd only get oysters there....any way you want: raw, broiled, grilled, fried, etc. </p> <p>Again: everyone, MANY THANKS!! can't wait! </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thanksapologies-from-a-future-visitor/page/3#post-4617 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:33:35 -0500 ESNY 4617@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>As everyone else said, you should get the lamb/chicken combo over rice at Kwik Meal (SW corner of 45th and 6th). Definitely ask for extra hot sauce - the green stuff is amazing.</p> <p>Cuban sandwich from Margon - 46th btwn 6th and 7th</p> <p>Szechuan Gourmet (there is a new branch near your hotel which I haven't been to). Dan dan noodles, cold seasame noodles, cumin lamb, mapo tofu, double sauteed pork </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thanksapologies-from-a-future-visitor/page/2#post-4611 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:39:18 -0500 Goats 4611@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>@allicat: And for muffalettas? I hit Serios in May but wasn't blown away. Is Acme THAT much better? </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thanksapologies-from-a-future-visitor/page/2#post-4610 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:36:31 -0500 El Dubya El 4610@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>allicat, try Pongsri (theater district, 48th and 8th/Broadway) and Pam Real Thai (49th and 9/10th) if you enjoy thai food. </p> <p>Thanks for the po-boy suggestions, haven't been to NO for years but I remember even the street cart dogs (Lucky Dogs) as being pretty awesome. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thanksapologies-from-a-future-visitor/page/2#post-4609 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:31:35 -0500 allicat1214 4609@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Stevenp: after 5 days with all these teenagers, I may shoot them myself!

I can't wait to eat my way through midtown!</p> <p>If you guys ever plan a trip to New Orleans, you can't go wrong getting any kind of po-boy from Mother's on Poydras St downtown, gumbo from the Gumbo Shop in the French Quarter, and beignets &#38; cafe' au lait at Cafe Du Monde across from St. Louis Cathedral!

Its more like an international food stop in my opinion rather then a news stand. </p> <p>GoGo Curry and Little Morroco cart up around 38th are must visits in my opinion. Also Fuji Bakery on 35th for pork buns and rocky custard buns are a good bet. All can be found on search function. Happy eating </p>
