It was just a tiny bit soggy, but everything else about the apple and quince tartlet from Grandaisy Bakery was super nice. The flavor of the fruit, the texture and taste of the pastry, yum yum and mo...
Its been two months since our last lunch at Baal and Im happy to report the 3 sides platter is still $7.75. Combined with a Boylan ginger ale, that came to $9.90. A rather filling and satisfying $9.9...
I followed my stomach to the Red Hook food trucks this weekend where we ran into Saha and Co. After a lot of food and a couple passes of a frisbee, we gave them a lift to the waters edge by Fairway. ...
We love the pollo rostizado torta from La Esquina but I must have had a so-so one last time because I havent felt the craving. M. was in the mood though so we went anyway. And its good again! They ch...
The sun came out just in time to herald the procession of horns making their way out the Holland Tunnel on Broome. Its official, summer time! Bring on the beach, we are ready. This week weve been obs...
The weather cleared up by lunchtime, making it the perfect day for a short stroll over to Cocoron where we were rewarded with a table right away. There are some new cold sobas on the specials menu, i...
Maybe my disappointment about lunch at Untitled really stems from the Four & Twenty Blackbirds pie we had for dessert. After all, lunch wasnt all that bad, but the pie, alas the pie. A fresh Four...
My expectations might have been too high for Danny Meyers cafe at the Whitney, Untitled, because I wasnt that impressed, but M. thought it was as expected. Its better than most museum cafes I suppose...
For no particular reason, I have this little guideline for buying cookies at Eileens Special Cheesecake, I always ask for 2 for the 2 of us, but if they tell me its 3 for $2, then I take 3. If they d...
Theres nothing spicy about the spicy spring square pizza at Prince St Pizza, its a fancy name for what seems to be regular pepperoni pizza. But who cares what its called when you can point to it in t...
After walking past the first 5 booths at Madison Square Eats, I wanted to stop. The sheer number of awesome sounding choices was overwhelming. In the end we paired a lobster roll from the Red Hook Lo...
This is more funny if you know my last name is Ha. Its also funny if you heard M. trying to explain to the girl behind the counter what she wanted on the cake, which I didnt, but her retelling of the...
I was having one of those classic everything goes wrong rainy Monday mornings so I knew I should have let M. pick instead, but no, I had to go and suggest Cocoron. Which is, of course, closed on Mond...
Its going to be a glorious weekend, followed by showers on Monday, so I hope everyone has plans to be outside. Some things we have been talking about here at LUNCH over the past week: Neither of our ...
There is something about the NY Public Library that floods our hearts with love and reverence, so when they recently contacted us about an upcoming exhibition, Lunch Hour NYC, we were in seventh heav...
Something about Miss Korea BBQ today, more than other Korean BBQ joints, seemed like it was sucking all the volume out of me. I could barely hear Bionic Bites across the table and it was an effort ju...
Maybe all the waiters at Locanda Verde are trained in the art of food recommendations. We had already decided on the spumoni when somehow he convinced us to add the rhubarb upside-down cake. Again, h...
We had an indulgent two hour lunch today at Locanda Verde with some very close friends to celebrate life events. After a champagne cork pop, we told the waiter wed take one each of the antipasti (app...
The cookie I picked up from Cafe M was so crumbly, M. didnt dare take it out of the bag for a picture. We gently slid it onto a plate and reluctantly picked at the pieces. It was so good! Despite fal...
Rubirosa is really making inroads into my lunch heart. $10 is such a reasonable price to pay for a small but filling braised beef panini accompanied with a salad, perfectly dressed. I get the best of...
I love Reeses Peanut Butter cups but processed candy bars tend to be rough on those of us intolerant of lactose. So when I came across Justins organic dark chocolate peanut butter cups at Jacks the o...
The service at Cafe Select is never that efficient, its part of the Euro charm, slow waitresses made more for cute smiles than quickness of hand. It was a little more frustrating today than usual, bu...
Were having one of those Fridays where the only type of concentration were capable of is the mindless kind. Good thing the weekend is nigh. For the past week or so weve been seeing these small miniat...
You dont often see Vietnamese summer rolls made with fish, but it exists. We discovered some today at Xe Lua, accompanied by a tart and slightly spicy mango sauce. The sauce is kind of odd, at first ...
M. waited for 10 minutes in the perpetually slow line at Bouchon to bring us back a sticky bun for dessert. I dont know that it was worth her time, its good, but unless youre a extreme nut lover, the...
Work has been rather intense lately, with no signs of slowing so we dont really have time for lunch these days, but thats not stopped us before. John too was swamped but equally undaunted about poppi...
I didnt think there would be too much left of the chocolate chip cookies Sri brought back from Smile to Go by the time we made it around to afternoon dessert, especially since they were pretty good, ...
I think you know when you see banh mi for lunch, it means we needed a quickie. And quickie it was. We split one grilled chicken and one grilled pork. I dont know if it was because I kept looking at m...
We love the crispiness and the Tates-like quality of the cookies made at Nolita Mart. However, they tasted a little funny today. Maybe a little like butter that tastes of the refrigerator. I guess th...
When one of the Ha sisters are in town, it means lunch at Shanghai Cafe Deluxe. We realized today that one of them is around often enough that we rarely go there just the two of us? How did we figure...
