Out to lunch
So far, I’ve only been to a couple of restaurants (to break the monotony of peanut butter sandwiches and ramen).
Burritoville: All natural ingredients, made fresh everyday (or so they say). Actually quite tasty, customizable, and pretty cheap.
Daikichi Sushi: Relatively inexpensive and only 2 or 3 blocks away. I think it’ll make a great lunch stop.
Lemongrass Grill: I think this is the one I went to with Mike on Saturday. It’s actually a chain around the city (including right next door to my residence hall). I haven’t had a lot of Thai before, but I’m eager to sample more.
Sadly, the “restaurant” I’ve frequented the most since moving here a week ago is Burger King. There’s one up from the Sushi place on Broadway where you can get a Whopper Jr. meal for only $3.25 with tax (the cheapest meal I’ve been able to find in NYC).
On the list of places to hit in the near future: Pret a Manger, Rice, and Peanut Butter & Co.
I’ve been to Pret many times in the UK. It’s my favorite chain sandwich shop. Try the prawn and dill (not available at all Prets in the US).
