Matt Kenney’s Free Foods NYC Expanding into Midtown East

DSC00042

Despite the high prices, and the economic issues facing lunchers, it appears as if Free Foods NYC (on 45th btw. 5+6th) is doing well enough to open a second location where F&B Gudtfood used to be (on 52nd btw. Lex+3rd). Lunchers looking for the best bargains won’t care about this one, but if you are really into organic food, and don’t mind spending the extra money- this is your best option in Midtown.  Even I’ll admit, their buy the pound buffet (which is quite possibly the most expensive in the city) looks pretty damn tasty.  It’s what I refer to as the “If I were a rich man” lunch.

The sign says that they are planning on opening fall of 2008 (which would be now), but from looking at the plywood, I’m guessing it won’t be for at least another month.  A photo of that (for those of you who get excited about construction sites) is after the jump.

  • Is their “buy the pound buffet” more expensive than Dishes? That’s gotta be the “Original” If were a rich man place… IMHO. All kinds of great stuff there just impossible to get out below$10

  • ITS SO SAD THAT HE HAS FAILED AGAIN.. I WANT TO CRY ABOUT POOR LITTLE MATTHEW KENNEY’S OVERPRICED, NOT ALL ORGANIC LITTLE DELI. EVERYONE HAS TRIED TO SUPPORT HIM HERE IN NYC SINCE HE WON HIS CHEF AWARD YEARS AGO BUT SOME THINGS PEOPLE PREMATURLY EJACULATE AT. IN THE END ITS VERY SAD THAT HE STARTED AN UNTRUE ORGANIC BRAND. I GUESS HE IS LIKE A CAT ON HIS 8TH OF NINE LIVES..
