Ok, we really don’t even know how to go about explaining this, so let’s just spit it out. Did you know people eat lunch in hallways? No, not just standing around snacking and gabbing with a co-worker, but actually eating at a restaurant in a hallway? Hmm, that doesn’t really explain it either. More specifically, did you know in some freight/service hallways in the Garment Center people are serving up food? Really!
How did we stumble upon this? Well, frankly we got a bit lost on the way to a sample sale and stumble onto a bizarre sight, right on 39th street (although the address is 550 7th avenue). In a loading dock/service hallway there was a counter and a guy frying up food and serving it to customers. It was one of those odd sights that make you think, only in New York. Now, we did not stop and eat there nor did we have a camera at the moment but as soon as possible we Googled the place. What was found online was even more surprising. It’s called Nick’s Place, and had been reviewed by the renowned Midtown Lunch and actually received decent comments. Plus their lunch special, which sounds yummy, costs $9.25, a bit steep for lunch in a freight hall if you ask us.
As if that was not surprising enough, according to Midtown Lunch, this was only one, of several hallway lunch spots in the Garment Center. Who knew? We spent some time on Midtown Lunch following this mysterious trail and found they highly recommend the food at one such spot, called El Sabroso, which serves up delicious Peruvian food. This spot, hidden away on 37th between 7th and 8th Avenues, has a rotating menu and everything is under $7.
So what do you think? Did you know about this? Do you know of any others? Would you eat lunch cooked in a service hallway?
