Every Tuesday I turn over Midtown Lunch to a random Midtown worker, for their favorite places to eat lunch in Midtown. Today, it’s Chris- a Sales Development Manager who sits around and dreams of street carts and all the things they could possibly serve.
Name: Chris
Age: 30
Occupation: Sales Development Manager
Where in Midtown do you Work?: Field & Stream/Outdoor Life on Park & 33rd
Favorite Kind of Food: Chicken Parm
Least Favorite Kind of Food: Liverwurst
Favorite Place to Eat Lunch in Midtown: The Chicken Parm Hero at Bella Napoli (30th+Madison)
The “go-to” lunch place you and your co-workers eat at too often: I often visit Mercury Bar (33rd and 3rd). Anything on their $5.95 lunch special menu is a great value for the price and the portions. Prior to moving down to Park Ave, my favorite lunch spot was the 696 Deli (3rd Ave btw 44+45th). Great sandwiches and hot food. Especially the “Thanksgiving Sandwich”… Hot Carved Turkey, Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce.
Place you discovered on MidtownLunch.com: Nothing yet, but I want to check out the Hallo Berlin Cart, the Jamaican Dutchy and the Bulgogi Cart. I’m a big cart food guy (I hit up Rafiqi’s once a week for the lamb and chicken in a pita).
If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? Aruba. But unless I hit the lotto that’s not happening. In NYC, my dream job location for lunch purposes would have been atop the construction beams when they were building the skyscrapers in the city- like that famous picture.
Anything you’d like to ask the Midtown Lunch readers? What food/features would your dream lunch cart entail?
Dream cart, huh? Well, for me that’s easy. They already exist (albeit very very far away). Pictures, after the jump Read more »
