What should I have for lunch?
 

Any ideas?

How about a Fromunder cheese sandwich?

I'm having mine as I type-a can of Wolfgang Puck roasted chicken and vegetable soup.Yummmm.

Not2Fattening, apparently you didn't read the label on that can of Wolfgang Puck soup. His soups are extremely high in fat, that's why they're so good!

Thank you for bursting that bubble! :0)<BR>Of course I only looked at the calories-and you are sooo right, nothing tastey can really be non-fattening.

Just got a greek salad at Citeralla to go on 6th and 49th (NYC, of course). Yummy!

Please refer to trip report from McDonalds for ideas.

Michelle-<BR>BOY have I been craving a nice Greek Salad lately...but here at 23rd and 6th there isn't anywhere (I know of) to get one...<BR><BR>Instead I got a yummy veggie quesadilla...mmm...

Suzanne: What about Mayrose on Broadway and 21st? Don't they have Greek salads? Also, what about the take-out at ABC?

Mayrose gets awfully crowded during lunch, I'll skip that.<BR><BR>How funny, I never even knew that the ABC furniture store had takeout. Isn't it funny - there's another furniture store out back here (on 22nd & 6th) that has takeout. And Bed Bath & Beyond has takeout too - hee hee!

IKEA sells Swedish meatballs for lunch. Ick.

I don't understand. There are furniture stores that sell take-out on the side? <BR><BR>What is the quality of the food?<BR>What is the quality of the furniture?!?!<BR><BR>And there are people on this site that complain about those one-stop shopping places for groceries and clothing. I suppose you could go furniture shopping and eat your lunch in the Dining Room section.<BR><BR>Sheli

You know, if you are going to use a different name & email addy than your real name...you should at least make them match!<BR><BR>I still don't get it....food at a furniture store?<BR><BR>Me

Well - what was the final outcome?

ABC Carpet and Home has a very nice cafe on the ground floor.You can get take/out from there.

How about a nice kielbasa?

How about a half turkey sandwich on whole wheat with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and dijon mustard; Yoplait yogurt; Fresca; two pieces Bazooka gum. <BR><BR>That's what I'm eating and I love it.

"Hereis", you said it my main man (or woman as the case may be!)<BR><BR>KIEEEEEEEEEL<BR>FREAKKKINNNN<BR>BASSSS AAAAAA, people! Come on now!!!<BR><BR>KIELBASA! AHHHHHHHHH.

Met a friend at Little Bangkok, on 54th just east of 8th. They have a $6.50 lunch special - we both had pad thai, and the meal comes with soup and salad. There are better Thai places in the big city, but for a quick, unpretentious, tasty lunch they always come through.

Hi kiel you little troublemaker, you.

What you went for Thai in Midtown and didn't go to Pongsri Thai on 48th and 8th?<BR><BR>Now I'm disappointed for you. To make up for this, I think you should treat yourself to the Soup Nazi on 55th next week. <BR>

Logistically Pongsri was a little tougher to get to from where I work.<BR><BR>The nazi charges an arm and a leg for his soup, doesn't he?

Yes, for soup it is expensive. But, he nees to support his luxurious decor. I stopped going because hated the wait. <BR><BR>Cosi - Now that's a lunch! There is no greater NY experience than a Cosi sandwich while sitting in Bryant Park on a spring day.<BR> <BR>

Yep, Claudia, we can get lunch in a furniture store here. ABC is a very good quality furniture store. I can't vouch for the food.<BR><BR>The other furniture store I mentioned (next door to my office - can't remember the name) has pretty good food - a little expensive though - and yes, you can sit and eat at their dining room tables! Silly, eh? I'm not sure why they do this...guaranteed steady income, I guess. Plus, if you see a few people in a store you might be more likely to go in than if it's empty. Or, maybe it seems more "homey" if they serve food...it makes you think of home and all the furniture you need. Who knows?

T is for Topping. So add your lunch menu here.

Tomorrow I shall bring my own sandwich -- provolone and pepperoni on rye toast with olive oil and fresh basil. <BR><BR>Don't knock it till you've tried it.

If you're in Key Largo, it's hard to beat a fish sandwich from Mrs. Mac's.

Milk, lemondade, and fudge.

<BR>hmmmmmmmmmmm...<BR>I just had Senagalese peanut soup from Hale and Hearty Soups in the greatest city in the world! NYC!

Furniture Store Dining Review:<BR> ABC is nice but expensive<BR><BR> Ikea is wonderful. The Swedish meatball plate is really very good and worth the trip (to Elizabeth New Jersay, for people in Manhattan, on the free bus). AND if you go to Sweden--this meal is available everywhere, nice little meatballs + new potatoes + lingonberries, + optional great coffee & great apple cake.
