MOMA - Cafe 2

...this is the more casual dining options located in the NY's Museum of Modern Art.

You read the giant menu board and place your order with the cashier. She hands you a number and you take a seat. A waiter serves your order after he/she finds your number.

I tried the tramezzini crustless sandwich - grilled portabello with marinated red peppers, buttermilk frizzled onions and herb mayonaise ($10) served with mixed greens and more frizzed onions. This was very good.

I also has a lemonade ($4) and tiramisu ($7) which was quite creamy.

Petite Abeille

Has 3 locations in NYC. "N" and I went to the one in Tribeca at 134 West Broadway. We both had the Petite Abeille burger for $13.50 - with cheddar and bacon served on a brioche bun with special sauce with fries. Very juicy.

We also had lemonades ($3.50/each).

Divine Bites

...is another NYC Midtown Deli located at 1015 Avenue of the Americas near Bryant Park. They have the requisite sandwiches, pizza, hot entrees and tossed to order salad.

After receiving a promo flyer from someone on the corner of Broadway and 38th I stopped by to try their personal pizza $4.95 special (includes free lemonade). I guess I was one of the few people who ordered a personal pizza instead of slices from a regular pie because the pizza counter person had to make a fresh pizza for me. It took about 7 minutes to cook, but it was good - a regular tasting pizza.

I opted for a pink lemonade which was artificially sweet (it tasted like instant lemonade). But a fairly good deal for a midtown lunch.

Fairway Cafe

...the famous NYC Upper West Side Market has a cafe upstairs at its 2127 Broadway location.

I stopped in for a late lunch consisting of a Fairway burger with American Cheese and grilled onions served with lettuce, tomato, red onions and cole slaw and fries for ($7.50) with a Lemon Mint Fizz ($4). The burger was thick and juicy and the fries were nice and crisp. The Fizz was extremely tart though and required 2 packets of brown sugar.

Too bad the waiter didn't ask me if I wanted dessert because I did. I had my eye on the lemon meringue tart. But since he brought the check to me instead I paid my bill and left.
