I know… I know. What is wrong with me? I’ll apologize up front, because it’s just not right. I don’t eat salads. I’m supposed to be killing myself, lunch by lunch, bite of fat after bite of fat, for all of you to see. Salads ruin that plan. Despite the timing, I did not eat [...]

I little while back I talked about the woes in finding a good lunch by my office. It hasn't gotten much better but it's a step up. I've been eating at Variety Cafe. Variety Cafe It's one of those big places where you pay by weight. It's decent stuff for $6.49 per pound: shrimp, fresh mozzarella, portobellos...Keep in mind that the cold bar is way better than the hot bar. The cashiers are speedy

Variety Cafe Midtown NY Closed for Health Reasons?
Oh how news spreads fast in the blogsphere. I haven’t personally been down to Variety Cafe for sometime after discovering Duke Cafe on 51st. Check out this post by Midtown Lunch Blog. Yeah I have to say it’s quite a shock to hear about the closure (they are back open now) but I would think most of these delis in the Midtown NY area are safe. Just think of the thousands of people who go in and out of each of the delis each day. Then again I presume all the leftover food gets “reallocated” to the salad bar. I always go to the middle eastern guy in the back of Variety Cafe anyhow. I guess we Midtown Office Workers are creatures of habbit - got to get that mega deli sandwich sushi salad pizza fix every work day.

Riding down the elevator yesterday on my way to lunch, I heard a very funny and ironic (considering where I was headed) conversation. One guy asked another guy where he was going to lunch… and when he responded “Downstairs for a salad”, the question asker was like “Nice, another one of those $11.00 salads”.

Variety Cafe - 48th Street Middle Eastern, Sandwiches, Salads, etc
Working in Midtown has some advantages - easy access for all subways, commutes are relatively easy wherever you live, convenient shopping, and nice parks to hang out during / after work. The disadvantage however is that the food selection out here sucks. It’s either overly expensive or you’re looking at cheap Chinese and/or fast food. Everything else in between is just the same repackaged sandwiches and salad joints with different names and locations. You’ll usually find these at one of the many delis sprinkled throughout midtown.
