    You really can't go wrong here. Everything is fresh and delicious, but my favorites are the chicken salad sandwich and the manouri cheese with arugula, pears, fig jam, and truffle oil sandwich!

    If you're looking for an excellent cookie then be sure to stop by and try the Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie. It's thick, chewy and packed with rich chocolate goodness.

    Very good oatmeal can be found here. They make it with coconut milk, so I guess it's vegan-friendly, too!

    Have a box packed with roasted beets, kale salad, curried cauliflower and a silky eggplant caponata. Don’t forget to get a giant chocolate chip cookie studded with flakes of sea salt for dessert: Read more

    Fast becoming one of my all-time fave quick lunch spots for its healthy, creative salads and sandwiches. And Howard is a lovely street. Grab a spot outside and nosh.

    This place never disappoints! Quality food. A good fruit cup is totally underrated and they have a great one- no melon. Baked goods and sandwiches are fresh and inventive.

    Whatever plans for lunch you thought you had when you walked through the door should be forgotten if these maple bacon sliders are available

    2 sides are a great lunch value for soho ($9). And they make the couscous in heaven every morning and have it delivered down here.

    like this spot way more than the one on Bond. rotisserie chicken or salmon - paired with one of their various salads - is a great lunch

    Rotisserie chicken salad is expensive but delicious ($14?). It comes with "salad" but ain't no laws that say it can't be pasta salad!

    The Smile has opened this takeout-focused shop in Soho. Blood-orange-and-Delicata-squash salad, Cheddar-apple biscuits and honey pies (with pastries by a former M. Wells pastry chef) are on the menu Read more

    We used to work right down the block from the original smile and were excited to see Smile to go is now open in the neighborhood. Great for simple goodies (plus the chickens look great).

    A Soho destination. Good sandwiches, amazing blueberry muffins, bacon bites and coffees great too. Also their salted choc cookie rocks my world.

    Chicken sandwich is great, and I don't even like chicken sandwiches. Key is they use their pulled rotisserie chicken, not weird square blocks of white meat swimming in miracle whip like other places.

    Grab the manouri cheese and fig sandwich and sit down in nearby Petrosino Square. Perfect summer lunch.

    They have breakfast sandwiches in the morning with onions, ham, and swiss. The veggies ones with no ham sell out too fast.

    The half chicken with roasted potatoes was pretty good. Too bad their prices are a bit ridiculous. $15 dollar lunch. #nobueno they should also price their items so you know before ordering.

    Honestly some of the nicest service I've ever had in nyc. I got a hibiscus ice tea/ lemonade combo (aka Laura Palmer) and it was refreshing!

    I love their chicken salad sandwich. If their sides have fennel, then I do half sandwich half side. Smells like fresh baked cookies here too.

    Everything on the menu always sounds and looks delicious!! My only complaint is that there's 1 vegetarian sandwich :-/ bummer. Bonus: lots of eye candy on Howard St

    Skip the hot chocolate. I had high expectations for $5 but it is wasn't anything special. Tasted like a typical powdered mix from the store. (Food looks great though!)

    The carrots are fantastic. Side portions are fairly generous. The service is excellent. Good vibes. Can't find anything wrong with it!

    The menu is grounded by staples like rotisserie chicken and rotating vegetable sides like grilled endive and cauliflower with chilies, capers and saffron. Read more

    Matt and Carlos have produced another gem. Loosely based on St Barth's Maya's To Go, this place has delicious sandwiches and pastries. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    This spot is IT. Talk about market fresh! Manouri cheese and fig jam sandwich with the kale/almond/date/orange salad is an unbeatable combo!!!!

    Order the dark chocolate and sea salt cookies at your peril, as every other cookie will be substandard from then on.

    Manouri cheese and fig jam sandwich, curried cauliflower or roasted carrots with pomegranate seeds. Hard to go wrong here!

    This place is pint sized but the food is delectable and you're out the door fast. Try the maple bacon sliders!

    Good, fresh sandwiches and salads. Carrot kale avo sandwich was tasty (but small). Choco sea salt Cookie was solid but not quite worth the raves.

    Delicious fruit salad, and porridge with coconut water... Far better than soya milk :)

    You can get two different half sandwiches to make a whole. I go for the kale + (ham or roast beef)

    Cons: Egg sandwich is premade before you get there - Pro: Egg sandwich is like a big boy egg mcmuffin. And if you don't like egg mcmuffin a you're a jerk.

    Manouri sandwich is great, Brussels and gazpacho are seasonal but a must when on the menu.

    Underwhelming. Yes they have great veggie/vegan options, but for $5.90 to have half a sandwich with extra hard bread... Nah. I'll try salads here next time!

    The mains are the way to go. It makes for an expensive lunch but two people could easily share the rotisserie chicken and roasted potatoes.

    It’s not rare to spot a few models/stylists in line at this tiny spot. Chef Melia Marden has garnered a cult following for her insanely addictive blend of homey and Mediterranean.

    Sides are pretty tasty (albeit a bit too oily at times). Keep an eye out for the nutty fig spelt muffin - it's a real treat!

    Baked goods, gazpacho, chicken, salads. It's all good. There's a reason for that line.
