Manhattan is a hotbed of working men and women. When lunch time hits, where do you head?
Today, I will introduce five lunch spots in Manhattan.
No.1 Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ
Gyu-Kaku, meaning "Horn of the Bull" in Japanese provides the authentic Japanese Yakiniku (barbeque) dining experience where customers share premium cooked meats over a flaming charcoal grill while sipping on Japanese Sake, Shochu and frosty cold beers. Gyu-Kaku offers a wide range of meats including the bestseller Harami Skirt Steak in Miso marinade, Certified Angus Kalbi Short Rib in Tare Soy marinade. Other popular items include pork, lamb, duck & chicken, Shrimp Garlic & a variety of vegetables.
I only spent $19.6 for lunch!!! SUCH A GREAT DEAL!!!
NO.2 Cha-An
Cha-An was established in 2004 by Japanese restauranteur Bon Yagi with the Japanese concept of omotenashi (a term for whole-hearted hospitality) in mind, and with wooden tables and tatami benches, washi-paper lamps and seasonal floral decorations, Cha-An looks and feels like a little piece of Japan.
Cha-An features not only matcha and senchas from Japan, but an extensive list of teas from all over the world as well. Whether you prefer Darjeeling Black Tea with milk or Tieguanyin Oolong Tea served in the Gongfu style, there is a tea for everyone and all are prepared with care. Cha-An is also popular for its desserts – while some, like the Hojicha Anmitsu and Yukimi Zenzai, are traditionally Japanese, desserts such as the Black Sesame Creme Brûlée blend the tastes of Japan with sweets of the West. Not to be overlooked are our savory dishes, which include several types of toasts that are made with thick slices of fluffy, house-baked bread.
I order Grilled Salmon over rice for lunch. YUMMY YUMMY!
NO.3 The KunJip
The Kunjip serves authentic Korean dishes. OPEN 7 days a week 24 hours a day!!!
Great restaurant in a busy street overwhelmed with the same Korean cuisine. I have had amazing meals here and I am never disappointed. There is a great variety of amazing food and what makes this place stand out is their unlimited complimentary servings of steamed eggs! The only thing better than great food is great FREE food!!!
No.4 The NoMad Restaurant
The NoMad Hotel has a casually elegant food and beverage program under the supervision of Chef Daniel Humm and Restaurateur Will Guidara.
Inspired by Chef Daniel’s time spent throughout Switzerland, California, and New York City, the restaurant is rooted in the same traditions found at their critically acclaimed, Michelin three-star rated Eleven Madison Park.
The restaurant is comprised of a series of rooms surrounding a glass-enclosed atrium and features a refined yet approachable menu with a wine program that celebrates the great winegrowing regions of the world and innovative, classically-focused cocktails.
No.5 Sangria 46
Enjoy the tastes of Spain and Latin America in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere! If you are hankering for Happy Hour, dreaming of delicious tapas, or seeking a taste of Spain, Sangria 46 will soon become your go-to spot in West Midtown.
BEST PAELLA FOREVER!!!
