There are so many pizza places downtown that I haven’t even begun to chip away at eating at all of them.

Reminder: Stuzzicheria’s Sandwich Nook Opens Today: Just in case you forgot over the long weekend, the sandwich shop at Stuzzicheria called Pane Panelle opens for lunch today on Church St. (at Walker). You can get a rundown of what's on offer over here, and be warned that if you're looking for a traditional Sicilian spleen sandwich, you'll be getting tongue instead.

PROFILE: Downtown Lunch’er “Sarah”

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 Sarah who works in Tribeca and shuns Subway (as she should).

Name: Sarah K.

Occupation: Event/marketing coordinator for a non-profit

Where you work: Church & Worth streets

Age: 30

Favorite kinds of food: Mexican, BBQ, healthy

Least favorite foods: Chinese, cold cut sandwiches

Favorite lunches downtown: Kale salad at Birdbath Bakery on Church St. (at Thomas); spicy falafel wrap from Baba Ghanouge on Church (btw. Reade & Chambers); tofu banh mi from Mangez Avec Moi Express on W. Broadway (btw. Murray & Warren); pernil platter with rice and beans from Sophie’s Cuban (Multiple Locations).

The “go-to” lunch place you and your co-workers eat at too often: I recently found the strength to permanently move on from Subway after one too many gross five-dollar foot longs. Why do all their sandwiches smell the same no matter what meat is in them?? So gross.

Places downtown you discovered thanks to Midtown Lunch: Downtown? My most recent favorite was the Eddie’s Pizza cart that sets up on Greenwich & Duane in Tribeca five days a week. Their $10 lunch special was an awesome deal for a huge, delicious eggplant parmesan hero, house salad, and soda.
