Macaron Cafe

I went back to one of my favorite lunch spots, Macaron Cafe, in NYC's Garment District at 161 West 36th Street.

I had one of the daily specials - ham and cheese quiche with a salad ($9.75). The quiche was light and fluffy, stuffed with little chunks of ham. The salad was a little blah.

And as usual, I can't walk out of this cafe without indulging in their delicious macarons. Today I tried the rhubarb, peanut butter and pumpkin cinnamon ($2.25/each). The peanut butter was my favorite.

Crumbs

There are several of these cupcake bake shops throughout Manhattan.
Thanks "J" for treating me to these cupcakes when I was having a rough day at work. The first was an Oreo cupcake and the 2nd was a coconut frosted cupcake...two of my favorite!

The Original Soup Man

was made famous on "Seinfeld" many years ago. He is now making a comeback. His latest outpost is near NYC's Garment District at 1021 Avenue of the Americas.

I had a cup of Lobster Bisque ($5.99) which was very good and creamy with chunks of actual lobster.

All soups are served with your choice of bread (I chose whole wheat) and a Lindt chocolate! What a nice little treat.

And the employees are nice - they will not threaten customers with "No Soup For You!"

Macaron

I went back to one of my favorite cafes, Macaron, in NYC's Garment District on West 36th Street.

I had a French Caeser Salad $8.50 - with gruyere, bacon and eggs.

I could not resist having any of their delicious macarons. I tried the Creme Brulee and Pistachio macarons ($2.25/each).

Flat Bagel

...I had never tried a "flat bagel" so I tried this sesame version with butter ($1 + tax) from the Food Exchange in NYC's Garment District at 1400 Broadway.

Pretty good if you don't want all the heaviness of a regular bagel.

Back to Boi

I went back to Boi in NYC's Garment District at 240 West 40th Street. This time I had the Banh Mi "Saigon" Classic traditional sandwich with Jambon/Vietnamese Ham/BBQ Pork/Pate and mayo, cucumber, cilantro, carrot & daikon radish on toasted baguette. Always a good lunch.

Guy & Gallard

Although there are several of these located in Manhattan, Guy and Gayard is a more "upscale" deli. And this new location at 1001 Sixth Avenue proudly displays it's "A" rating from the DOH.

I had the Chicken Pot Pie ($5.95) which had nice chunks of white meat, but the "pie" was a big soggy. This is probably because it's prepackaged and reheated upon ordering.

Boi again

is located in NYC's Garment District at 240 West 40th Street.

I had a Smoked Duck Banh Mi Sandwich with mayo, cucumber, cilantro, carrot and daikon radish $6.89 and Mango Juice $2.07.

The toasted baguette is light and crisp and the duck was flavorful. There was just a hint of spice to give the sandwich a nice kick.

Boi

is located in NYC's Garment District at 240 West 40th Street.

I had their classic Banh Mi Ham sandwich $6.89 - with Vietnamese lean pork/ham and pate, mayo, cucumber, cilantro, and daikon radish and a Sugar Cane juice $2.o7.

The sandwich was hearty and flavorful. The bread was crusty and warm.

Pizza

Bravo Pizza is located on Broadway near 38th Street (and NYC's Times Square and Garment District area). For a quick lunch on the go pizza is always a good option.

I had the chicken cutlet pizza ($3.50). The crust was not as dense as sicilian pizza. It was light and area similar to foccaccia.

Macaron

I went back to one of my favorite cafes in NYC's Garment District - Macaron on W. 36th Street.

I had the Paris sandwich - ham, gruyere cheese, lettuce, cornichon and mayonaise on a crusty french baguette ($7.50). They went a little too heavy on the mayo today.

And, of course, I had to have some macarons! I tried the Nutella, Wedding Almonds and Coconut today ($1.95/each). The coconut was my favorite.
