Potbelly: My New Sandwich Go-To

When you walk in, you have your choice of some pre-selected sandwiches on a menu, [...]

Vynl is My Hell’s Kitchen Go-To

For only $17 guests were able to sample selected foods at six eateries in the West Village over the weekend (Oct. 16 and 17), [...]

Loving the Sandwiches at Local

For lunch yesterday,  my office decided to change it up and instead of our usual Subway run, we went to Local.  Local is a little cafe in “South Village” as Yelp calls it.   The place is small with about three tables, but if you work in the area, it is great for a [...]

Is Penelope a Lunch or Dinner Place? I vote lunch.

A few weeks back, one of our favorite readers Emily suggested we try Penelope, a little cafe type of place on 30th and Lexington. Now I had been there about a year ago, probably on one of the worst dates of my life (where after the date, the guy announced he had a girlfriend [...]

Better Than Subway’s $5 Footlong?

My sister and I needed to find a quick place to grab a bite before she headed to Penn Station to catch a train, so I suggested trying the new sandwich shop Defonte’s of Brooklyn. It just opened up on 21st and 3rd, so it couldn’t be closer to me. Technically it doesn’t open [...]
