is it... is it cheaper there? can't be... must be an upgrade. congrats!

There is a taco bell on 50th and 3rd....or 51...

Yeah, look at the top-left of this page. "Find Lunch:", use iether "By Name" for some of the names you might have seen us talk about, or "By Location" to see a map, or "By Food Type" if you're looking to organize whats available. You're 3 streets, 1.5 avenues from me. There's tons available by you. The famous cart, Papa Perrone, Schnitzel & Things on Tuesdays, Cravings on Thursdays, Cer Te, etc etc etc.

I'm so embarrassed to admit this here, but my first thought was Chop't. I can't help it, the Santa Fe with fried chicken is a damned good salad!
-
i am sure i can come out with a list of restaurants i can go but i wanted a few 'good' ones. i can't wait until i try Schnitzel & things. but i must end my love affair with three Japanese restaurants on 41th street. arggg...

Well, people comment on zach's posts, so what better way to find out what zach and other people think than to look at the restaurants in your area which were already reviewed. also, people have differing tastes, one's must-haves are another's must-avoids. Your best bet is to use that 'find lunch:' section to figure out whats available, see what piques your interest, and go for it.

Jim Lahey's ripoff pizza place is moving to Park Avenue? Or did you mean something else?
-
my biggest regret about working on 5th and 53rd is the distance to the Japanese trinity. For Japanese, I like men kui tei, they do take out ramen and chahan, and the original katsuhama also has a take out section. Also, since they are right outside your window, you should check out the Indian food cart. I like La Belecca on 49th btwn Lex & 3rd for heroes (usually eggplant parm) and there is an El Rey del Sabor at the end of that block.

blarney stone, if you can make the trip and stand the crowd. 12pm is always better than 1pm.
gourmet 53 on 53rd and 3rd (downstairs) has really good deals and I usually default to that place. you get a sandwich, soda, cookie, chips/fruitsalad/jello for about $7.50.
rafiki's cart on 50th and 3rd. el rey del sabor another block away from that.
if you go down to 2nd ave you can try the chilean place or the turkish joint that just opened up.

gourmet 53, here i come.lol

gourmet 53 has to one of the best options around here. my office is also near you. long line looks discouraging, but moves very quickly, not slow and painful like the trucks with huge followings. gourmet 53 is a well-oiled machine. zach also wrote an article about it before anyway. depending on what you get it's either 6.95 or 7.50 unless you go with the more expensive entrees. and salads are 5.95 small i believe to 6.50 large . some sands come with fries. if your food doesn't come with fries or any side, then ask for their pita chips - which i always do when ordering a salad. deal-maker is free chips or fires, cookie, fruit salad or jello, and eh, can of soda (not included with salads but not a deal-maker for me. i see people just jack soda with their salads anyway. they don't seem to care. i don't do that cuz it's not a deal-maker and only soda...cookie, fruit salad, and pita chips!!!) usually, there's also a dude giving out free coconut chrimp or bruschetta for those waiting on the long line. go with the shrimp.
i'd pass on rafiqi's. not worth it for halal. go to XPL on 48th and Park instead for better flavors and rice. and if you don't mind the walk cross-town, go to the 53rd and 6th cart.

Thanks guys. Today is my first day at the new location. i took my coworker to the Gourmet 53 and we both loved the place...though coconut shrimps were a bit too sweet for my taste.
I am going to try XPL tomorrow.
I actually made a list of places to go this week. LOL
