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!
Next week we are going to be Quadrant-ing either Chambers Street/City Hall or Astor Place, so if you've got any suggestions for us please do send them to [email protected].
