PROFILE: Downtown Lunch’er “Dave”
As is customary here on Midtown Lunch, every Tuesday we’ll profile a different lunch’er and get their recommendations for places to eat in Downtown NYC. This week, we have Dave who was a late bloomer in the falafel cart department.
Name: Dave L.
Occupation: Defending capitalism
Where you work: Broadway & Fulton
Age: 33
Favorite kinds of food: This must be what it’s like when parents are asked which of their children is their favorite. Let’s just say that, although they’re all great in their own way, bacon is the youngest child.
Least favorite foods: Fennel is the middle child.
Favorite lunches downtown: Depends on the particular day’s hankerings, but the soon-dubu at Soma by Nature on William (btw. Fulton & John) and anything from Nixtamalito at 1 Centre St. are often winners. Plus, I ain’t ashamed to say I love me the spicy chicken at Popeyes (Multiple Locations).
The “go-to” lunch place you and your co-workers eat at too often: I have one co-worker who keeps a loaf of Wonder Bread and jars of peanut butter and jelly in his desk; I don’t know how he doesn’t have scurvy.
Places downtown you discovered thanks to Midtown Lunch: Downtown? I’m embarrassed to say I never really caught on to Sam’s Falafel on Cedar (nr. Broadway) until I read MLD.
Dream job location, purely for lunch purposes, and why: Definitely Flushing. Just in a 5-block radius, you can get $1 Peking duck sliders, grilled lamb on a stick, and some sort of weird smoked plum drink that really seems like it was invented as a practical joke.
Anything you’d like to ask the Midtown Lunch: Downtown readers? How in the world does the Nebraska Steak House still exist?
That’s an excellent question. Apparently they have an audience! And as always, if you would like to be next week’s Profiled Lunch’er (or know somebody you’d like to nominate), email us at downtown@midtownlunch.com.
