Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop (in this case, technically two stops). After a jaunt uptown on the Lex today we return downtown to scope out eats around 14th Street and Eighth Avenue. These aren't, by any means, the only places a person can lunch in the area, so please give your suggestions in the comments! more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. This week we're going lunching around the 103rd Street stop on the Lex, an area with not so many super fine dining options, but lots of spots for good eats. Of course, there is no way for us to get all of the spots in the area in here, so feel free to air your complaints (and additions, share the knowledge!) in the comments. more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. After spending two weeks checking out eats in Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal we're back to running around town. This week that means hitting up four of the many lunch options that await in Harlem. Of course, there is no way for us to get all of the spots in the area in here, so feel free to air your complaints in the comments! more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. Last week we ate around Penn Station, a tricky place to eat well if ever there was one, and so this week we thought we'd look at the other end of the spectrum: Grand Central Terminal. Where Penn Station is dark and ugly, Grand Central is soaring and, well, grand. And where Penn Station has a poor selection of good food to eat, Grand Central and its lovely food court has the opposite problem. For the sake of simplicity we narrowed our list down to just spots inside the terminal (so, for instance, that's why you don't see La Fonda de la Sol) and even then we had trouble narrowing the options down to just four. Prefer Brother Jimmy's or Junior's to one of our picks? We totally understand why you might be miffed—let it out in the comments! more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. Last week we looked around West 4th Street and today we're riding the A/C/E up a few stops to the culinary dead zone that is the Penn Station area. Sure there are a slew of fast food joints for the hungry traveler, and a giant beer garden is on the way, but any office worker in the area will tell you that Penn Station is not the best for fine fare (though K-Town on 32nd Street is a boon). We've picked four solid options for you, but if you've got any further suggestions please don't be shy about putting them in the comments! more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. After leaving Manhattan for the far away shores of St. George, Staten Island, we're back this week with a look around West Fourth Street. This being prime a student area there are many places to choose from, so we aimed for variety. But if you think we skipped something by all means don't be shy about adding your favorites into the comments! more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. Last week we went to Wall Street and now we're taking it nautical with a quick ferry trip across the narrows to Staten Island. The Forgotten Borough doesn't always get the best press but that doesn't mean you can't find a delicious lunch! St. George, right off the ferry or the SIR, has lots of tasty eats (and great views). Got love for Shaolin? Give us your picks in the comments! more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. After leaving Manhattan for Long Island City last week we're back in this week with a look around Wall Stret. In particular this week going around the Wall Street 2/3 stop and the Broad Street J/Z stop. There are definitely other options in the area though—don't be shy about adding your favorites into the comments! more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. After going exploring around Canal Street last week we're heading out to Queens. Specifically we're looking at the area around Court Square—which means technically we're talking about the three tightly grouped train stations instead of the usual one. There are definitely other options in the area though—don't be shy about adding your favorites into the comments! more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. After going to Park Avenue South last week we're heading further downtown on the Lex this time around to Canal Street. Though we're leaning more on the Broadway and Canal side of the station for these options, with Chinatown just around the corner there is a whole lot of good eats in the area. Don't be shy about adding your favorites into the comments! more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. After a trip to the Upper East Side we're heading downtown on the Lex this week to 23rd and Lexington. The area actually has quite a few lunch options (maybe you've heard of the Shake Shack?) but these four options are all good bets when lunching in the neighborhood. more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. After braving the Upper West Side last week we're hopping across the isle of Manhattan to the 86th and Lexington for this go round. more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. Last week we checked out the slim pickings in DUMBO and now we're back in Manhattan, checking out the fare by the West 72nd Street 1/2/3 stop. more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. Last week we went to Chelsea and now we're making our first foray into the borough of Brooklyn. But don't worry, we're only going one train station into King's County (this time). Though DUMBO has a booming population of both workers and residents, its food options are still not quite as all-encompassing as one might expect. But that doesn't mean they aren't there. So sit back and let's take a quick tour of four spots roughly a block away from the York Street F stop. more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. After a heading down to to Chambers Street last week we head back up the West side today to look at some lunching spots around the 23rd and Eighth A/C/E stop (we'll head East in a later edition). The options here aren't particularly fancy, but none of these restaurants will leave you hungry afterwards. more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop (in this case, technically two stops). After a trip to the Village today we head further downtown to look at quality lunch options available by Chambers Street on the West side. Specifically, we're going to places near the 1/2/3 and A/C Chambers stops (we'll head East in a later edition). more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop (in this case, technically two stops). After a jaunt uptown today we head back to the East Village to look at just a dollop of the quality lunch options available off Astor Place (soon to be the home of the Huffington Post, once they move into AOL's digs above Kmart). Your best lunchtime bet, if you find yourself down there? Go east. more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. This week we look for eats around the 59th and Lexington station, an area surprisingly lacking in too many great food options considering the number of offices nearby. Which doesn't mean we weren't able to find food for you! more ›

Welcome to the Lunch Quadrant, where we offer you four lunch options (two standing, two sitting) by a given subway stop. This week we're looking for eats around the ever-bustling Broadway-Lafayette station, where your feasting options within mere blocks come from all over the globe. Bonus: an old neighborhood favorite has a new home! more ›
