NYC Foodies - Midtown Lunch HELP!

[jnalpak]

I used to work way downtown and on 50/3rd and there were soooo many places to eat. I have now been at my new digs for a little over a year and i realize i havent ventured past a block in 396 days.

The reason for this is the office picks up lunch for the firm but there are 4 terrible choices:

1)Bagel & Bean (typical craptasitc deli)
2)China Fun (switched from tea den and just as bad, nothing like the one on 64/1)
3)Hale & Hearty (Chicken Mole Poblano!!!!)
4)Italian (dont know the name b/c its crap)


I'm over on 56 and 7th (ave of america) and as you can tell from the 4 choices im getting sick of soup and sandwich combo's. i think it's time i spend some of my own money for lunch.

Please send me into food heaven for lunch.

I'm not looking for $$$, im looking for something better then those sh$tty "make your own salad" and chinese food joints.

I think i'm leaning towards cuban (chix rice/bean combo) but im up for discussion until 11:30am

!PLEASE HELP A FELLOW FOODIE U R MY ONLY HOPE!
