Midtown Lunch

As is customary at Philly Lunch, every Tuesday we turn over the site to a different lunch’er for his or her recommendations for the best lunch in Philadelphia. This week it’s Moira, a cheese loving, oyster shucking lady working in the restaurant industry.

Name: Moira

Age: 24

Occupation: Restaurant Manager

Where in Philly do you Work?: Passyunk Ave.

Favorite Kind of Food: Anything smothered in cheese.

Least Favorite Kind of Food: Thanksgiving fare: turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, etc.

Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Philly: Erawan has the best lunch special in the city, and I’m a sucker for their panang curry. Garces Trading Co. always has some sort of delicious sandwich and too-good-to-be-healthy desserts. Bitar’s has great falafel and it’s usually pretty quiet. And if I can eat myself into a food coma without needing to go to work after, I’ll head to Good Dog or Royal Tavern for a burger and a beer.

“Go-To” Lunch Place You and Your Coworkers Eat at Too Often? I can’t walk into a coffee shop on Passyunk without running into at least four co-workers. Black & Brew and B2, to be specific.

If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? DiBruno Brothers. You can get your hands on whatever kind of food you want in that place. And it’s all so good.)
