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.
Next week we'll most likely be Quadrant-ing around the York Street stop in DUMBO, so if you've got any suggestions for places to highlight, or a station you want Quadrent-ed, shoot us a tip at [email protected].
