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.
Next week we'll be Quadrant-ing around either one of the Chambers Street stops or one of the 23rd Street stops on the west side. If you've got any spots you want us to highlight, or a station you want Quadrent-ed, shoot us a tip at [email protected].
