1. Factory 380

The Factory 380

I am the biggest Factory 380 fan. Highly highly highly recommend their macaroni and cheese. They also have different deals each day & certain days of the week have all day happy hour pricing. Definitely a fun spot but some funky themed decor perfect for a lunchtime break.

Sweet Chick is one of my favorite Black Owned Businesses in Manhattan. They’re known for their amazing chicken sandwiches but they also have a fantastic macaroni and cheese. They have a fun vibe to them during the day and the prices are definitely affordable for a NYC Lunch.

This absolute gem is the star of little italy. The food is fantastic and the workers are always offering fun deals such as free wine or appetizer. The portions are filling and I’d have their carbonara any day of the week. They have indoor and outdoor dining in a covered structure with cute decorations.

Mughlai Indian Cuisine

This is one of my new favorite places to eat in Kips Bay. They have a fantastic lunch special and the lamb is fantastic! I highly recommend dining in because the amazing staff will give you a fantastic spread of sauces and of course naan.

5. Nomo Soho

NOMO SOHO

@nadia_elise

Nomo Soho is one of the prettiest hidden restaurants in NYC. The ambiance is amazing and you can choose to dine outside or indoors. Their flatbread pizzas are always amazing and they even have one topped with prosciutto.

Custom Things to Do

Planning a trip is stressful enough. I can tell relieve some of that stress with a custom list of things to do in the city (or cities) of your choice. I can put together iconic locations to see, hidden gems, or even fun activities to try out along with the associated prices and availability for your group.
